So, 100% of the 360 games in the list are multipats. 100% on both HD consoles are shooters/sports/racing...Plus, Army of Two?!?And the lemmings say that the other fanboys have low standards...

Based on each of the consoles top 5 lists it would seem that out of the two HD consoles the PS3 is the better choice. If we are just going on those little lists. I mean both have GTA IV, both have COD4, both have Madden 09, but I would 100% say that of the two remaining titles on the Top 5 list for each platfrom MGS4 and GT5 are far superior to Vegas 2 and Army of Two. I know that's not really enough to decide properly what console is better but I'm just saying. It's interesting.

This has got to be the dumbest post I've ever seen. So it doesn't matter which system has better games, but which system has the better games that are in the top 5?

Seriously, think before you post.

I know what he said. That's why I responded.

So you're saying he's right that the PS3 is the better system because it has the better games in the top 5 sales charts?

He said "Based on each of the consoles top 5 lists it would seem that out of the two HD consoles the PS3 is the better choice." which means that if you limit your evidence to the list the PS3 is better; he's correct in saying so, but only if you limit yourself to that list, which he does. Pleas read (or understand if you don't normally consider that part of reading) before you post.

While the data here is limited, it is at least interesting to compare the sales figures across the platforms.

Given that we estimate (the pictured below) Army of Two's YTD sales at 800,000 to 900,000 on the Xbox 360, we can surmise that the #5 title for the Xbox 360 may have sold better than than the #3 title on the PS3.

However, the PlayStation 3 also has a much smaller installed base and some games, like Madden NFL, have sold to a higher percentage of PS3 owners than Xbox 360 owners.

Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 top 5 software lists are dwarfed by the figures for the Wii's top sellers. Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl above 3.2 million and ending with Guitar Hero IIIaround 1.3 million, the Wii's top 5 games of the year account for somewhere between 11 and 12 million units of software.

Lol with these numbers it appears that Army of Two is not so inferior any more. And that if Number 5 on Xbox's list beats or ties with number 3 on The PS3 list, then PS3 would not be the obvious choice here.

Comparisons arent going to be truly valid yet, though.... both Sony and Microsoft (well, I guess the same goes for Sony, I dont have a PS3, so I dont have firsthand experience with this) pull out their heavy hitters in Q4. I can promise you that list will completely change in just a few months time.... say October/November? :D

uh, some internal error, it wasn't rrod. microsoft didn't cover it like they did rrod. so i sold a busted 360 for basically nothing. thinking of selling ps3 for the new $300 360, though. i just like xbox live and halo too damn much.

If it RROD, it is still under warranty, everyone is still under warranty for RROD.

You guys need to make up your minds. Do you hate casuals only until you need the data from the games they buy to make some point or do you hold them in contempt all the time?

So you're saying he's right that the PS3 is the better system because it has the better games in the top 5 sales charts?

Because he never implied he was stating facts, he's correct. Its his opinion. You guys take stuff so personal and swear up and down that every post must be the gospel. Its opinion, agree or disagree. If you only looked at the top 5, which is what he clearly stated, the PS3 does look more appealing.

He's not suggesting that the PS3 is actually in real life more appealing. He never said nor suggested that. In fact he flat out admits that his method isn't really enough to properly decide.

Why so serious?
