Interesting news, considering the talk last year; http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/53923 and that fanboys/developers love to talk about how one is vastly more profitable and put the other on the back burner...

Hmmmmm...

im interested in seeing North American numbers only (im a ps3 fanboy and even im baffled)

EA sucks the only thing they care about is sports games, everything else they release is half finished garbage

Rubbish.

Mass Effect 2, Dead Space and Mirror's Edge disagree with that short-sighted assessment stuck in the past.

scweb13 · 08-06-2009, 04:45 PM

Maybe more people are renting games for the 360 than buying them.

mikejet · 08-06-2009, 04:56 PM

I buy all of my single player games for the PS3. So Dead Space, Mirror Edge, and other like it would always be on the PS3. I usually only buy my multiplayer games on the 360.

You Fail big time good sir. Just as ignorant as saying "PS3 has no games"

I think I read about this news last year too. Guess not much has changed, although seems like a much large margin this time.

"renting" from bit torrants

Perhaps multiplatform owners are choosing PS3 versions over the 360 for free online...

Do they have the breakdown by region?

Maybe their 360's are too busy being crated up in cardboard coffins for people to have them in their possession long enough for them to consider wasting money on them. *LOL*

How many people do you know have had busted versions of each?

IE: How many 360's do you know that went down... and how many PS3's?

Ive had one of each go down and that's the only number i care about. and the fact that Sony charged me to fix and Microsoft didn't and the xbox was out of warranty. other than that i love both and wont trade either of them for anything. i just hate listening to fan boy's spew there BS.

CMM · 08-06-2009, 10:16 PM

360 = shooters.

EA = sports (mainly)

So this doesn't surprise me.

If were talking Online play then yes those games, AND there Sports game have big issues.

as far as those games go single player tho, they are in much better condition then Ea's sports titles.
