6:1? 7:1?

Ratios and percentages mean nothing without contextual information and proper numbers to substantiate them.

The other versions didn't exactly set the charts alight last week. Er… surely the totally ridiculous European pricing was to blame rather than the temporary exclusive deal?

I put this down to their timed exclusivity deal with Microsoft which saw the PS3 version of Rock Band only just released. Months behind the 360 version. Then again, I suppose Microsoft lined their pockets with plenty of cash so they probably don't feel too hard done by. When you got all that money floating around you can just throw money at people and buy all the exclusivity deals you want. Kudos to Capcom for saying they wont do that sort of thing any more.
