The 360 is SUPPOSED to be more popular...

I was actually counting on it.

Last friday, Toys r US had a deal where you could get Resident Evil 5 for $40 if you bought a $20 gift card. Good deal on the release day, right? Well, I get there to get a copy for my PS3, and they're sold out.

I shouldn't have been surprised, I did come later that day, but there were FIVE copies for the 360 - I don't think they sold a single one.

Browsing on the internet, particularly Gamefaqs where all the RE5 guides were made originally for the 360 version, you'd think that Microsoft's system was more popular in the states.

It was a shock to find out that the PS3 version was more popular here - either that or PS3 owners scope out deals more often than 360 owners...

You lemmings aren't doing your job! What has the world come to when I can't depend on internet trends??

360 version sold more at Amazon, so there!

Maybe TRU bought more of the 360 version to stock.

Really? At my electronics boutique they had 10 PS3 copies and zero 360 copies at launch Only pre-orders like me got a copy... 5 copy margin isn't even that muchToriko42

And yes I was said Killzone 2 would flop because it didn't look good to me, what's your point. I just said what I thought and I still think that. I'll take Resistance 2 anyday over that generic grey barren FPS.

I love it when people say things like that because it makes it REALLY easy to tell that they haven't played KZ2.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"] You've just lost all credibility by saying that a multiplat sold more on the PS3 then the 360 in JAPAN

Then why talk crap about the game when you haven't played 5% of what it offers?

THAT makes you untrustworthy fella, not that I care lol.

Xbox 360 is popular. Its users are pretty active. :P

Look at the sales of Gears of War 2 and Halo 3. Will PlayStation 3's exceedingly hyped Killzone 2 sell like these?

Sure, Resident Evil 5 sells better on PS3, but wait until Modern Warfare 2 is released. You'll se what I mean.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"] My experience in the game goes no further then the beta and I could tell that I wouldn't enjoy it. When I own my PS3 I'm not going to own it but I may rent it to see all the fuss. In the end though because KZ 2 didn't flop though it doesn't make me untrustworthy and all that Rhubarb guy ever does is walk in and say 'oh mah gawd i can't trust u cuz u dont agree with me'.

So you make a judgement on the whole game from playing a 5 minute demo, I call you on it and I'm the fanboy? Nice...

It's not a big deal, you said it's an all around grey game, which is talking crap about it since it's false, and I corrected you on it.

If you don't care about it that's fine, but saying something false about the game isn't!

I went to 30 stores around the world and everyone said the ps3 is racist and hasn't sold anything ever.

True story.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"] I don't talk crap about it I just say why I'm not interested in it. It's not like I'm running out to write fake reviews with a 1.0 / 10 with 'oh mah gawd it sux' over and over again. I just don't care about it and I thought it'd be AAE because of it's generic-ness. I swear to god if it was a multiplatform title no one would care but because it's 'teh flagship FPS' for Sony then every fanboy suddenly has to jump on me like a licker from Resident Evil 5Toriko42

hmmm... uuhh...by your logic that makes me a non-fanboy?

anyway Japanese sales are all we got atm till we get NPDs and euro sales
that's why I brought those up, how can you(that have no credibility in the first place) claim that I have no crediblity for that?
