Some interesting FUN FACTS reguarding PS3 and 360 software sales

Killzone 2:2.02M out of 27M bought this game (7% of PS3 owners)

Mass Effect:2.08M out of 34M bought this game (6% of 360 owners)

LittleBigPlanet:2.50M out of 27M bought this game (9% of PS3 owners)

Left 4 Dead:2.45M out of 34M bought this game (7% of 360 owners)

Heres some funny ones:

Killzone 2 launch week: 750k (remember, this game supposedly sold "nothing" and nobody cares about it :lol: )

Forza 3 launch week: 240k

Also, heres some 360 multiplats lifetime sales (These are to be compared with the PS3 exclusives above):

Bioshock: 2.34M(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase)

Fallout 3: 2.63 m

Orange Box: 0.91 m(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase) (killzone 2 outsold this game on a smaller userbase)

Fight Night Round 3: 2.03 m(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase) (killzone 2 tied with this game on a smaller userbase)

Fight Night Round 4: 0.89 m(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase) (killzone 2 outsold this game on a smaller userbase)

Resident Evil 5: 2.37 m(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase)

Street Fighter 4: 1.27m(LittleBigPlanet outsold this game on a smaller userbase) (killzone 2 outsold this game on a smaller userbase)

Next time you talk about how poorly Killzone 2 sold, remember, you are also talking about how poorly these other games sold.

You're aware North America isn't part of those Forza sales right?

Not telling you how to do your job or anything but you probably want to fix that when you get the chance

Don't VGchartz throw darts at a board to come up with their sales figures?

Killzone shouldn't really be compared to most of those games, it had a very long developer cycle and was hyped up to be one of the biggest games for the PS3. While Killzone 2's sales were very good it was expected to do far more.

Why are you playing the percentage game? Percentages are misleading. Anyway, Why are you taking multiplats and comparing them to exclusives. Their sales potential is dampened by being available on another platform. Why are you using VGchartz? You have perfectly picked out your games too, its so ridiculous. Why is there no Gears? Why is there no Halo? Why is there no COD? Why is it okay that LBP, Sony's premier title last holiday season was barely able to edge out some multiplats with less hype? Also, where are you getting this smaller userbase crap from? The PS3 and 360 have essentially equaled each other in sales each year. Hence its safe to assume that the PS3 in its first year should have been around the 360 in its first year. Orange Box and Bioshock are from 2007, that's where most their sales came from, at that time the 360 install base would have been what the PS3s was when LBP launched. Then there is demographic, why would FN4 sell more than 3? 3 was the new hot next gen version. Why are fighters that are all but dead in terms of sales potential being compared to something like LBP and the hyper popular FPS genre. No one thinks 2 million sales is bad. People think its disappointing considering the developent time and money spent on KZ2. I disagree but you are twisting the argument. Not that it matters, all your posts do this.

Nice, it really shows that PS3 and 360 exclusives are almost the same in sales (most of them)MetalGearSolidZ

The only 360 exclusive title on that list is Forza 3.

The problem has always been that people see a Raw Sales Number, and assume all the other facts. It's silly. Then you have regions like NA that seem like the end all be all. Then you have Fanboy's counting games that have sold for 2 years and compare them to games out for a few months, or comparison's with the TOP SALES games of all times to newer games.

The worst problem is that fanboy's now have this idea that a game is a commercial failure if it can't even sell ONE MILLION. Who set that standard?

So, I will break it down in bite sized points for fun.

1. Raw Sales Number with no install base relevance
2. NA = The World!
3. Game X sold for 5 years, lol at Game Y's one month sales!
4. Wii Fit = All success this generation, under that a failure
   
5. One Million Sales or BUST!!!!!

----------

Now, I'm not agreeing with the TC.

I'm just telling any who read this, this is how SW treats Games Sales in General, that's all.

SolidTy

I only say that for big budget AAA titles like killzone, uncharted and gears. If those don't sell a million they failed IMO.

KZ2 and LBP's lifetime numbers surprised me quite a bit.

I like how you conveniently omit Halo 3, ODST, Gears of War 1/2. Nice one. And yea, Forza 3 numbers are not including America, 360's biggest userbase so that number is way wrong.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare the 360 best selling games compared to the Ps3's instead of just pulling random games out the water? And wouldn't it make even more sense if you compare 360 exclusives instead of multiplats?

I'll put it bluntly. I don't agree with the context of this thread but I agree with you in that anyone who says LBP and KZ2 didn't sell well need to get a pair of glasses. They are wrong. Selling 2 million units is excellent by any metric. I don't think the KZ2 numbers are correct though. The first week don't really match with what I've gathered unless KZ2 sold 1 million in Europe. (it very well could have, I'm not sure). The idea that PS3 exclusives sell disappointingly needs to die. I just don't agree with hand picked numbers to prove it. I guess though using Halo and Gears defeats the purpose since people act like 5 million is the standard.

I dont get why you used Forza III? You cherry picked everything to make the PS3 numbers seem alot better, and used solely Forza III? Use Halo 3, or Gears, and then use MGISV for the PS3. Then it becomes painfully clear that your argument is flawed. Lets not forget aswell that when Gears originally released its install base was alot smaller.

[QUOTE="KodiakGTS"]So um...you're comparing two of the best PS3 exclusives, to a bunch of multiplats and one 360 exclusive without the North American sales counted? Good show...I guess...TheArmyGuy48

So do you see now what mistake you made?

I mean you missed one entire region and that region just happens to be the region the game was designed for

You wanna know what else is funny? You comparing the sales of games that aren't related. Here's one: Halo 3:ODST week one sales: of the user base bought the game!93soccer

Your talking sales. Those are its biggest sellers so of course they will come out, that's just common sense. Seems like you cling to GT3 and the rest of the GT games so your just as guilty as they are.

You wanna know what else is funny? You comparing the sales of games that aren't related. Here's one: Halo 3:ODST week one sales: 2.2M on about 34 million users (approx. 6.4%) vs. Killzone 2: 2.02M lifetime sales on 27 million users (approx. 7.4% of users bought this since it's been out) Halo 3: week one sales: 3.8M on a smaller user base so approx. 60% of the user base bought the game!93soccer

again, Lemmings always hiding behind halo, acting like the 360 has like 16 titles that sold that well.

Yes, microsofts HIGHEST SELLING FRANCHISE THEYVE EVER MADE, sold more than a bunch of smaller franchises that sony made.

list me one 360 exclusive that sold over 5M not named Halo or Gears. Go ahead, I'l wait.

You wanna be fair, then if your gonna compare Microsoft's BEST SELLING FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME to something, then compare it to Sony's BEST SELLING FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME (Gran Turismo). Cows win;)

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="TheArmyGuy48"] The percentage game was just for extra effect. The most important part about it was that the actual numbers were almost the same. Left 4 Dead is a highly praised (by lemmings) 360 console exclusive, yet LittleBigPlanet (the game that "didnt sell") outsold it, and they released at the same time. Also, the most interesting part about my post was the Killzone 2 launch numbers. This game has gotten so much hell from lemmings its rediculous. All the "Cows dont like killzone 2 (or PS3 exclusives) , theyre not buying it" crap (WilliamRLBaker says fanboyish drivel like this all the time). Killzone 2, the game that according to lemmings sold in damnnear negative integers, sold 3 times as much in its first week as the unstoppable force known as Forza 3! Almost 1 million people bought killzone in ONE FRIGGIN WEEK, and thats low? TheArmyGuy48

Fair enough. If you explained that in the 1st post we wouldn't have had to go through this :P For future reference though, its probably best to inlude COD. It sold extremely well on both systems.But yeah, in the context you present it, there is no denying that there is a blatant double standard occuring. Its like thinking every game will sell 5+ million copies, its just not likely.

You wanna be fair, then if your gonna compare Microsoft's BEST SELLING FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME to something, then compare it to Sony's BEST SELLING FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME (Gran Turismo). Cows win;)

Please name a single PS3 game that has over at least 5 million sales period? Go ahead ill wait...........FOREVER

Might wanna double check that bud.......i did right before i posted.

The reason I left out Gears and Halo, is because a large amount of 360 fanboys like to unhealthily cling to these two games. They believe that the 360 has like 8 titles that have sold this well. once those titles are removed from the equation, the 360 liabrary has to stand on its own two feet. The reason I selected those titles was because they were most of the titles that scored either AAA or high AA on Gamerankings. TheArmyGuy48

So why not include Forza 2 or Fable 2? You know actual exclusives that sold 4.00 million and 3.21 million respectively. No instead you went through the list and picked out titles that slightly under performed the titles you picked for the PS3.

[QUOTE="93soccer"]You wanna know what else is funny? You comparing the sales of games that aren't related. Here's one: Halo 3:ODST week one sales: 2.2M on about 34 million users (approx. 6.4%) vs. Killzone 2: 2.02M lifetime sales on 27 million users (approx. 7.4% of users bought this since it's been out) Halo 3: week one sales: 3.8M on a smaller user base so approx. 60% of the user base bought the game!TheArmyGuy48

again, Lemmings always hiding behind halo, acting like the 360 has like 16 titles that sold that well.

1) please do not mention halo 3... if there was a halo game each week all of xbox owners 'd buy it asap cause if the "sacred" name halo. if you looom at users reviews halo odst received a 8.3.... yes xbox owners buy it like a new vaccine for H1N1. and do not say that users score doesn t count, actually it is the only that counts. cause it is YOUR opinion. like mass effect it received a 8.5 fro gamespot but a 9.1 from users.

2) ps3 owners choose from a variety of exclusive games (or franchises) not just 2 (halo and GeoW) so sales are worse.

ok at this time demon's souls , dragon age, uncharted 2 , tekken 6, ratchet&clank and many more have been released. you expect all those game to get awesome sales? not it is not gonna happen in shortterm but in the long run it will happen.

And yet the 360 has more 1 million+ sellers then the ps3. Great logic there..........lmao

You serve your Sony God well, Zealot. I can see no wavering devotion or lack of dedication in your demeanor.
