Maybe PS3 owners don't need to buy MW2 to offset a mediocre lineup this year.

I'dthink they are probably pretty close if you look at all the territories.

So Japan is the deciding region for software sales? lol. No matter how good the games were on the PS3 you can't deny the fact that sowtware sales are always much higher on the 360.

and sales over rule the exact quality of the titles how? I really want to hear this? Not to mention it's an entire region where the difference is gigantic. Throw in the fact that Europe is either extremely close...i'd say that software sales "advantage" isn't very massive.

I never said that I am happy with my PS3 but in terms of software sales 360 leads by a big margin (most multiplats/exclusives sell alot better on the 360).

Regarding the attach ratio stuff. It goes both ways. Shooters, especially MP focused, tend to have a higher AR on 360. Fighting games and hack and slash and adventure do better(AR) on Ps3(see Tekken 6[ps3 version actually outsold 360], SF4, Batman, AC, etc). Giant 360 marketing behind MW2 certainly helped as well. As did joker for Batman ps3.

Yes, the overall game attach rate for 360 is higher than ps3 though. It's like 9 on 360 to 8 on ps3. I'd largely attribute that to people who did buy ps3s for nothing but blu-ray early this gen.

God, why do you care? Are you a shareholder or something? Seriously, there is nothing that more blatently screams fanboy than comparing pointless and obscure minutaie of sales figures.

actually it does benefit who own 360's, it means more dev support for the 360, which means better multiplat games and more of them, devs will always give the most love to the console that makes them the miost sales/money, it may not benefit PS3 owners, but it definitly benefits 360 owners this gen, especially as we get games like, mass effect,left 4 dead and metro 2033

well...when you consider that there are more 360's out there than there are ps3's......

when you consider all the people who own both systems and just bought the 360 version for xbl

when you consider most retailers stock up more on 360 then on ps3 games

when you consider there were more cheesy side products on 360 than ps3

its not surprising. i mean....as much as i hate to admit it, xbl is pretty darn good, i would buy a game for 360 over ps3 if it was multiplayer
