EEDAR: Prototype on track to outsell inFamous, except on PS3
A report by EEDAR has Prototype outselling inFamous by almost 90 percent — thanks, of course, to the fact that Prototype is a multiplatform title, while inFamous is a PS3-exclusive.
However, on PS3, inFamous’ electrically charged superheroics have outdone Prototype’s all you-can-eat approach by about 35 percent. EEDAR adds that, because exclusives tend to have longer sales curves, that number could climb to 50 percent.
So, if you ever wanted to see superheroes duke it out not through building-demolishing punches and kicks, but through numbers, now you’ve seen it. Personally, we preferred Yahtzee‘s method of alternative superhero combat.
Thanks, Gamasutra.

There should be a “No Shit Sherlock” award for a report like this.

According to Metacritic though, Red Faction is better than both of them.

Prototype is multi-platform…… InFamous is a PS3 exclusive. I dunno, maybe, juuuust maybe it would make sense for Prototype to sell more copies.

In the only area a comparison can be made, inFamous beats Prototype hands down. Shouldn’t that be the headline statement?
