this is why i wasnt gonna bother asking. the only game that came out that helped the PS3 in an actual sales boost is metal gear but none of you even have the numbers right. no other PS3 game has boosted system sales. instead, cows are just naming off exclusives.
when someone actually comes into the thread with actual evidence that the PS3 jumped in sales because a game released on it, then i guess the answer is no.
