This should beat NFS Pro Street (at 1.75m) to become the best selling PS3 NFS. To become best selling NFS of this gen it certainly needs to overtake the 360 Pro Streets 2.05m as well as the PS2 Pro Street's 2.27m, certainly both doable

It won't get anywhere near the 6.49 on Underground on the PS2, but with Criterion making the next Need for Speed, this series is going to continue to strengthen through this gen

The attach rates for the multi-plats are about the same in most instances, so while the totals are normally higher for 360 software, it's normally because of the userbase difference.

I doubt the number of non working 360's in that 8 million difference is a substantial enough number to support your argument.

@ Boneitis

Yes those games to have much bigger margins, but you have to remember it's been more frequent that PS3 versions have started selling better. You also have to remember that it's doing this with 8 million less consoles in homes, the 360 by all rights should be blasting PS3 software sales for every multi-plat game. But it's not, the only time you see a big disparity in teh software sales if it's a game that caters heavily to the NA audience. Like CoD or other shooters as an example.

@ headshot91
Sure there is a lead of 8 million in sales, but I doubt its an 8 million lead of working consoles thanks to the RROD and E74 errors.

What ever the lead is in working 360 consoles, its not a huge enough lead to be expected to win software sales every time.

Bear in mind there is still a huge difference in overall software sales. That isn't going to change because an occasional PS3 game sells better.

Well football games, nfs etc usually have pretty big differences between the ps3 and 360. e.gg fifa09 sold almost 20 percent better on ps3, bu you seem to forget, even if the ps3 only just beats the 360 for a games sales thats still a big thing as the 360 has 8 million more consoles!
oh and btw the attach ratio on gta4 for europe and america is better on ps3 than 360....

@ Cowboys4u86
Seriously, how often does a PS3 release outsell a 360 game? Perhaps 1 in 8?

Also lets not forget when the PS3 has a lead its usually by a small amount. On occasion 360 games will have a huge lead for example Call of Duty series, Fallout 3, GTA4, Guitar Hero, etc.

@ Boneitis

Lately it's been a trend that PS3 games have been at about teh same numbers or higher than 360 games.

Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Batman Arkham Asylum and now this, and that's jsut a few that I can think of off the top of my head. It's not cherry picking. Racing games are bigger in Europe and PS3 versions tend to sell marginally better in the EU.

Hmm, if 360 owners are just waiting for Forza 3, how come NFS: Undercover sold better on the PS3?

@ chinmoku
Clearly 2.2 million people purchasing the same game will effect the sales of other games.

You cherry picked a couple games that sold better on the PS3, but the fact is a majority of games still sell better on the 360.

And of course Forza 3 is coming very soon. That has already gone Gold according to gaming news websites.

To assume the PS3 version sold better just because of ODST is quite poor. There were other games that sold on PS3 better. Arkham Asylum, TR Underworld...

flanker22 posted 30/09/2009, 05:14
The reason the PS3 version sold better is because most 360 owners are just waiting for forza3. logically most people will want 1 racing.

i could imagine had GT5 came out around this time shift would have sold much more poorly on ps3.

@ TheConduit
I think the release of ODST is actually responsible for some PS3 games selling better. Clearly people had another game in mind to drop $60 on.

PS3 is really starting to overtake the Xbox360.

Sure there are less PS3 than 360 but the early people to pick up a PS3 had lots of money or really like Platstation.
