EXCLUSIVE games?

Again....I don't think so

the 21 games listed on Wikipedia for the PS3 include: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy 13, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Resident Evil 5

I never used Wikipedia for my 22 and 21 exclusives over 1 million units.

More multiplats sell better on the Xbox360.

I think the point is.....is that they don't anymore.

I mean, I'm sure they did when PS3's install base was >20,000,000. But those days are long behind us now.

You listed like 10 games that sold better on the PS3. I don't really see where your going with this. And I thought sales didn't matter?

1) His point is your looking into the past not at the now where the PS3 had the highest total software sold in the most recent figures available. 2) Where did he say sales matter?

the fact that you didn't use them doesn't make the numbers magically disappear.

I'm not following you.

MW1 and 2, FF13, GTA4, RE5....None of those games are included in the 22 XBOX 360 exclusives or the 21 PS3 exclusives

Why would I when none of those games are exclusive? :question:

Stop and have a little think why my friend, maybe as at the time many multiplats were released the 360 had far more consoles sold = higher games sales on the older games. We won't know if games truely do sell better unless the two consoles had the same number of units sold (and working).

this is true, the difference in overall install base can greatly affect the software attach rate, the wii in 2009 had the lowest attach rate but had far higher software sles han the other two, that being said the 360 is ahead of the Ps3 in total software sales, i don't know exactly ny how much, but somebody on this topic said it was by about 160+ million units, but the Ps3 could be slowly catching up in that area as well, we just don't know,lol

Well according to the graph...it's about 63 million units...of course, the current fiscal year is almost 75% done....so its probably in the 50 something million mark by now.

290 vs 353

...racers such as the F1 game (i think it sold more on PS3) hoosier7

I think we can chalk this up to the lack of good options for a racing wheel on the 360. Before any 360 guys jump in here touting the Fanatec...I know, I have one but let's be realistic, the price point on it puts it out of range for a lot of people.
