I own both the PS3 and 360. I think Uncharted 2 should be GOTY or right up there. How is this game selling so poorly on the PS3? IF this great game was on the 360 it would have sold about 3 x's more. Why is this so? Lets not get into a bash fest, just want reasons why this is the case.

the userbase isn't doubled...but games like MW2 and AC2 sell twice as much on the 360.

I think the game's release was just eclipsed by other titles. MW2 was like a couple weeks away. I could definitely see UC2 pick steadily within the upcoming months. I haven't even bought it yet because I've been too busy with Dragon Age and Demon Souls.

All cows care about is their precious Blueray player and they try to act like hardcore gamers.

No wonder certain AAA PS3 exclusives like Killzone 2 don't have a huge community of people playing it.:lol:

Or it could've sold worse like Ninja Gaiden II or Banjo: Nuts &Bolts. That's why "What If Scenarios" are useless.

8 million more 360 owners compared to PS3 owners should not make a difference that big when both consoles have over 25 million units sold.

The lemming tc is correct, UC2 would more than likely have sold at least a good million more on the 360. And not because of some far-fetched mystical reason but simply because the 360 IS a more popular machine with a higher market share. It helps that the game is quite good to boot.

That's probably something the developers consider, but PS3 lose an exclusive? nah, never has and never will! ... or wait, nm, that was referring to the sun exploding.

Wouldn't have bought it whether it was on the 360 or the ps3.

Probably, but unfortunately it's not going to happen.

So much damage control here it's not even funny. Yup GOTY contender not worth playing if you happen to own the console it's on.:roll:

It'd look like crap though :P

Seriously though, it probably wouldnt sell that great. It lacks teh chainsaws and space marines.

Still 5 million is incredible.

no, it won't, U2 is famous for its graphics superiority............ the game would look half good if it was on x360 .............. the game is a pproching 2 million in less than 2 months, and this is bad according to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanx for admiting that U2 is GOTY, Lemming :P .

I hate cross game chat. I dont use my X360 as substitute telephone. If I'm not playing with you, I don't want to talk to you :P

Edit: I should say, my lil bro's x360, not mine :P

lack of hardcore gamers. lets face the facts if you went through the "wait" your not a tru gamer(console).People that are buying the ps3 now don't really buy good games. They dont know what to buy. They would be happy with lair. Uncharted is the best game this year. It should have done just as well as mw2 on the ps3

I agree to that, actually...360's got a larger userbase, and no doubt that title would appeal to a lot of those owners. Heck, a lot of PS3 exclusives would sell in the millions if they were on the 360. Killzone 2 on it would be VERY interesting, IMO (to see how it would stack up to Halo and such).

I think the real problem is that people want FPSes and/or badass characters and tons of blood and gore. Basically they want everything in excess. Uncharted, seems more toned down. The characters are more human rather than being caricatures. The gameplay doesn't have excessive blood and gore spilling everywhere, and it has some puzzles and isn't an FPS. Automatically, that turns off a large portion of the gaming public.

Nope MW1 sold 5M on the PS3. Heck Gears sold 5M on less than 1/2 of the PS3's current user base (and it was a new IP). And of course, Halo sold 8M on 1/2 of PS3's current user base.

likely and its because of one sole fact....

Microsoft made a game machine...sony doesn't know what they made why is why the ad says it does every thing...but whats everything? when it should do one thing very very well and thats video games.

the majority of people that purchased the 360 was for a game machine...the majority of people that purchased a ps3 was to get a cheap bluray player....which is shown by the fact games sell higher on the 360 all most all the time, why people have logged more hours on 360 games then quite a few ps3 games combined.

i think this is due the differences in the PS3./x360 demography , meaning : most PS3 users are JPN and Europeans and others and of course little americans ,while x360 userbase is mainly americans, software and hardware sales confirm that, most sales come from NA, the gaming community their is on fire,and the x360 has major lead there, that's why x360 is obtaining it good sales.

So you are saying that the majority of the PS3 userbase bought a PS3 for the Blu-ray player because the 360 userbase are buying more games?

I think you are drawing conclusions a little too early.

Still can't believe Cows making comments about games on PS3 not being able to be done on 360. The only games I know of for this are GOW3 and GT5. The former for some graphic technology supported by the cell and the latter for CPU power which 360 lacks. Of course these are hypothetical because they haven't come out yet.
