Call of Duty 4 (360) sales VS Call of Duty 4 (ps3) NA sales

Hmm, over the lastfew months we have had:

Bioshock, Halo, PGR3, Orange Box, and Mass Effect (for Kmart shoppers). Some of us have no more money in our gaming budget. I bought COD4, but i can understand why some have not. I've bought about 12 games this year (and about 5 within the last 3 months), which is more than i've ever bought for a system, including my PS2 (i usually rent). That means that i've purchased about 750.00 worth of games this year (including tax) which is rediculous to think about.

[QUOTE="peterrobau"]Im going to destroy your argument right here: The reason the % is higher on the ps3 is that there are more games out for the 360, giving COD4 more competition. A good ps3 game comes out rarely NOT TRUE , so when theres a good ps3 game youd hope that almost all owners buy it. For example, on the 360, COD has to compete with Halo and the Orange Box, but on ps3 COD has nothing. When Madden came out, Bioshock was out as well. Thus, ps3 owners didnt have to make a choice that 360 owners did. threadNike_Air

As others have stated x360 had a bigger selection of new releases in the same genre, but at the same timethe x360 version will also most likely have longer legs than the PS3 version. That was the case for Halo 3 that dipped in the UK when there were other big releases and then went straight up again. So if those numbers shows to be correct when NPD arrives the attach rate for x360 will be bigger than the PS3 version in the long run as the difference is so small already. In any casethe x360 will get more copies sold by a wide margin.Pripyat

Exactly, I bet in like 1-2 months the difference in sales will be huge. Don't know what the TC was thinking...

According to vgchartz........ (oh god , yes I used vgchartz )

NA - hardware totals (360 has ~ 3.6 times the userbase)

• 360 - 8,467,762
• PS3 - 2,324,092

NA - Call of Duty 4 sales (360 version didn't out sell it by more than 3.6 times , only 2.8)

• 360 - 507,659
• ps3 - 179,471

How many owners bought this game for each ?

• 360 - approx. one out of every 16.6 360 owners bought the game
• ps3 -approx. one out of every 12.9 ps3 owners bought the game

Why didn't more 360 owners buy this at a higher rate than ps3 owners ? 360 owners allegedly buy more games and all owners with both systems buy the 360 version for achievements or xbox live so what gives exactly ?

Madden

• 360 - approx. one out of every 6.9 360 owners bought madden so far
• ps3 - approx. one out of every 5.2ps3 owners bought madden so far

I checked some othe games like The Simpsons , Tony Hawk , Lego Star Wars , and Jericho and they all turn out to have a higher rate (when compared to userbase) of purchase on the ps3 side. I didn't use any of the games that released later on the ps3 than the 360 version to keep things on the level. I am also aware that GH III did significantly better on the 360 , but that is likely due to the release of GH II earlier in the year and a lot of guitars already sold so people didn't have to come up with more money. I would imagine that if GH II released on the ps3 at the same time it released on the 360 then the software ratio numbers for GH III on the ps3 would be significantly higher because people would have already had the guitars too.

I also looked at their TOTAL software estimates for the week in NA and compared to the overall hardware sales ........ I threw out all of the pack-in sales numbers from Forza 2 , Marvel Ultimate Alliance , and Motorstorm and more ps3 owners bought a ps3 game this week (ratio-wise) than did 360 owners.

Again ......... what is the deal ? Do *gasp* ps3 owners buy games too ? Why wouldn't the 360's numbers be much higher ?
