Why do exclusives sell better on 360?

Halo 3 probably sold more then all the ps3 exclusives put together and thats without a bundle. Then the other games like gears of war,fable 2,mass effect and many others sale more and are more well known.

Sales, oh wonderful! :roll:

Oh, you mean let's compare Halo sales?

Halo is a phenom. Let's get over it, it's a fantastic seller.

As far as PURE TOTALS, the 360 has a HIGHER INSTALL BASE than the PS3 (360 was cheaper, and it came out a Full Year Before the PS3), so it's kind of obvious what you are asking.While that's fine and dandy as far as the INSTALL BASE, I only bring it up because you seem to see PURE TOTALS, and you aren't factoring HOW MANY 360's are out there, HOW MANY PS3's are out there.

HOWEVER, if you look at sales of EXCLUSIVES on both platforms more fairly, looking at the INSTALL BASES of both consoles, you will find that many HIGH PROFILE PS3 exclusives sell very well. Let's not forget MGS4's OUTSTANDING Sales, TC.

more people with 360 because it was originally priced lower. Thus even if those people got ps3s, they get games for their 360 because:

1) they are used to getting games for the 360

2) they are used to the controlls on the 360.

thats just my opinion tho, :P

No more sales threads please.

I don't know, better marketing I think.

let's be more specific, the only exclusives that are selling very well are GeOW and Halo, the other games didn't reach 2.5 millions, which many PS3 exclusives exceeded like GT:P, LBP, Motor storm.

360 has a greater install base, much of which consists of casuals who feel either obligated to buy games like Halo or just don't know their **** and buy whatever everyone else does.

A few years ago, that would be true, but both companies shifted on that policy. You've been misinformed, time to excercise the old Google Search Engine.

Also, what is up with these threads that don't have proper info to start with?

Possibly because more people have a 360 then do a PS3.

Yea lets hope it sells 1.7 million in 24 HRs

LOL. Actually the opposite is true MS counts shipped to retailers (means the retailer paid for it) as sold and Sony counts shipped into their Warehouse as sold(means it has NOT been sold). Nice try spreading Cow propaganda.

Halo 3 didnt sell more than all exclusives put together. Only 2. That would be MGS4 and Uncharted 1. Mostly Sony published exclusive sells over a million and some sell 3 million like Uncharted 1 and Resistance 1.

cuz of lack of exclusives.

odst for an example, no AAAe for years and then BAM!

Simple. There are more 360s.

except for halo and gears most of thesales of ps3 and 360 exclusiveswere about the same, there was athread about it like last weekgo dig it up

First because 360 has a bigger install base and second because not all PS3 owners are gamers.

You would think that Wii exclusives will sell more because they have the largest install base.

Cuz if bungie released Halo babies it would sell One Million in a day and people would still buy it cause of the Halo name.Solid_Max13

I'd like to think swamplord666's love of pie has something to do with it too.

wii has 4 of the top 5 best selling games this gen so far

If Halo sales were the standard by which we judge a games sales, then outside of a couple of Wii Games, every game would be a sales flop.

"Call of Duty 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, AC"

only if you combine sales from both platforms... youre right, i should have specified best selling 'exclusive' games. this thread is about 'exclusives', but i didnt make it clear

actually, AC has transcended SMG and SSBB in sales, but only if you add up the total from the ps3, 360 and PC... 3 platforms

regarding halo:

yes, halo would be the other best selling exclusive game in the top five
