About 14m 360's = 1.4m sales. About 7m PS3's 0.6m sales. Anyone with both machines is likely to buy on 360 - I know I do. Wouldn’t that be purely related to installed base though?

I'm sure I read that over here there wasn't much in it between PS3 and 360 versions. I’m still fairly surprised that CoD5 didn’t do better on PS3.

One of the reasons I didn't buy it myself was because of the inconsistent pricing strategy. It was released at a budget price in the US in the first place.

Although the people who did actually buy it seem pretty happy with it.

But I think what G1GA is probably getting at is that it didn't do that well in last month's NPDs but the fans said it got released too late in the month and would 'have legs'. It was.

I thought the games were just as popular on PS3? They certainly seem to play a lot of CoD4. And look - there's Resistance 2! After everyone thought it wouldn't make it. Where did Mirror's Edge come, though? That’s a hell of a difference in units sold between the two versions of CoD. I thought the games were just as popular on PS3?
