Why is Tomb Raider selling better on PS3?

Greg Howson writes:

"Am I the only one a little surprised to see that the Tomb Raider Underworld is selling better on PS3 than 360? Yes, you could argue that 360 owners have simply too many games available at the moment - including exclusives like Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 – and that Lara has to join the queue. Plus 360 owners do – as a stereotype – prefer their shooters to their platform puzzle games. But PS3 owners have got exclusives like LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2, as well as access to most of same third party games that 360 owners have. So why has Lara proved more popular to PS3 owners than 360?"

[Dannagar]

It's selling better because this is the third Tomb Raider game released on Xbox 360, it's the first Tomb Raider game on PS3. For Xbox 360 users, there are way too many other chooses. Some that include, Left 4 Dead and Gears of War 2.

[TheHater]

So I am guess PS3 owners don't have other games such as Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm 2, and Valkyria Chronicles to choose from. Your logic fail.

[beast]

As per Metacritic

VC Highest HD JRGP/Strage exclusive
LBP Best overall hightest rated HD exclusive
Resistance 2 wich by IGN is a better buy than amazing GeOW2
MGS4
Burnout hd

ETC ETC

Plus L4D is also on PC. That leaves GeOW 2 and Fable II. Needless to say both are awesome but Only GeOW2 is rated above 90.

So just maybe just maybe in Europe PS3 install base is > 360

[zuesholmes]

There are plenty of games on PS3 to play atm, it's more likely brand loyalty. There's nothing "better" to play on 360 atm, just "different" games to play on 360. I've been playing a lot of Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Socom "which is like crack to me lol", and Buzz and am thinking about Tomb Raider just because i loved the old 1's. Almost forgot Dead Space, that last trophie is tough lol, and been playing Metal Gear again just cause i liked it so much, kinda like Uncharted, i played it over and over again because it was so much fun lol

[rawd]

Dannagar, sorry try again. The princess is in another castle.

[morganfell]

Because DLC is over rated and the better version is on the PS3.

You've got those 2 and what else? Fable 2? PS3 users got everything else you've got and more this season (at least in terms of A games).

I'll tell you why ps3 users are buying up tomb raider more the 360s. PS3 users have higher disposable incomes. Especially those who can buy 360 and ps3. Those users may consider themselves 360 aficianados, but in terms of income, they are definitely in the ps3 income bracket range.

[NaiNaiNai]

>.> why are people arging over how well a horible game is selling. >.> doesn't that make the owners of the system that is selling the most games, idiots. >.> you know cause they don't know what a good game is. XD....sounds reasonable to me.
-nai-

to the guy above me. T_T your a idiot. i make enough to buy a ps3 360 wii and a new pc. and yet i don't why, nothing im interested in. the only thing the ps3 has going for it with me is killzone 2. why, because i can find a cheaper blueray player now. and one game is not worth 400$
-nai-

[tk]

I agree with the statement that it is the 3rd on the XB360 - therefore it will not sell as well. First one on PS3 - so the TR fans has only one game to get for PS3 in the series. Makes sense.

[iamtehpwn]

Many Playstation fans are long time Tomb Raider fans, and have playstation 3's--Thus the fan base carries over. For example, Final Fantasy XIII will sell more on PS3 (no fanboyism intended here) in the US and Europe due to a majority of the Final Fantasy core fanbase still being loyalist to Playstation.

So, with that said, if you were to bring Halo or gears to Ps3, it'd sell more on 360 because the fanbase for those games are still on 360.

[heroicjanitor]

It's pretty obvious when you think about it, the tomb raider series has long been associated with playstation, so most of her fans have ps3s. Plus where is this argument that the 360 owners have too much to buy coming from? The ps3 has more exclusives these past few months and they are rated higher than the 360 ones...

[INehalemEXI]

More Grown arse men own PS3's then any other demographic and many can't deny polygonal bewbies.

Whatever happened to that game called Wet? It looked like it would be good.

[gameraxis]

Uncharted burned a path through many gamers living rooms, and was such a good experience that gamer are looking for more of it..

i think that's pretty safe to say, but who really knows

[Bubble Buddy]

Funny thing is most 360 games I want that are "exclusive", I can play on a PC.

[Raoh]

iamtehpwn and gameraxis make the most sense.

I'll also add that going forward i expect more 360 software sales to decline for non AAA games. Even though the console will continue to sell. Why?

Pirated 360 games is the new thing. i got rid of my 360 last holiday. but pirating 360 games gives me reason to give the 360 a shot again. a cheap jasper 360 will do me just fine and i wont have to buy 360 games.

ps3? virtually unhackable at the moment so games will continue to sell if you want to play the games on it.

[Bubble Buddy]

My guess is people can't wait for Uncharted 2? :P.

[pshizle]

crazy

the only game im getting for my ps3 this holdiday might be
lbp or resistance2 but really there not many good ps3 games this holiday besides those two

[heroicjanitor]

fable and gears against littlebigplanet,resistance 2, motorstorm 2, Bioshock, Socom, Valkyria Chronicles and Naruto... Left 4 dead is on pc so it isn't exclusive... Safe to say the ps3 owners have more games so come up with something logical

[Firstkn1ghT]

You just have to look at the sales of the 360 with monster hits like Gears 2, Fable 2, and Left 4 Dead. These games are crushing the ps3's holiday gaming library. Much better options on the 360 than this game. Nobody is buying R2 or LBP so I guess they're sticking with an old favorite and that is Tomb Raider.

[ultimolu]

...No.

[Fallen_Angel]

sony fanboys can talk all they want about great ps3 exclusive but you have to ask yourself this if these games are so great why are the ps3 fanboys not buying them ? lil big flop and R2 combine barely break 1 million in sells while GoW 2 has already broke 3 million in sells and fable 2 is well over 1.5 million. There are close too 5 million people the decided to get GoW2 and Fable 2 for the 360 over TR and only 1 million people that decide to get lil big flop and r2 over TR on the ps3. Also these are just uk numbers once the WW number come in I'm betting TR will sell more on the 360.

heroicjanitor wow talk about being beyond stupid. 1st off bioshock isnt a ps3 exclusive its been out on 360 for over a year it also made its way to the pc. 2nd pc is not a consoles and 3rd are you really counting trash like naruto, and glitchcom as AAA exclusives ? If you just want to count any old exclusive 360 has Too Human. Last Remnant, Lips, Infinite Undiscovery and Banjo-Kazooie just to name a few

[pixelsword]

...if there were a lot of great games coming out in a very short time, then of course none of them will sell well, because no everyone is going to buy all of them at once. There were so many good games coming out for the PS3 that you'd have to give it a few months before the numbers will be representative, counting gameplay and all.

Exclusives:

- Valkyria Chronicles

- Motorstorm 2

- Resistance 2

- LittleBigPlanet

Now, if you split those four up evenly in a million-person purchase sales chart, you'd have 250,000 per title.

The 360's notable list of exclusive games:

Fable 2

Gears of war 2

Which if you put that in a chart will make 500,000 purchases per title, making those two titles go to 1 million twice as fast (I'm not doing Left 4 Dead, because it just came out). If you leverage the fact that most 360 people art shooter fans, then Gears 2 will reach 1 million much faster (two million on the first day, which proves my point). In terms of multiplat games for the PS3, the list points even more, even if by a little, for PS3 users:

Not counting games like

- Bioshock with PS3-exclusive DLC

- Mirror's Edge, the PS3-Centered multiplatform title

- Fallout 3, one of the most well-done sandbox games this year (better than GTA IV, for sure, of which PS3 buyers likely bought less of)

- Dead Space, one of the games that out-does Resident Evil and Silent hill in Survival Horror. Of this the only "point" that could be stated is that the PS3 has a better looking "skin" for the game. Woot.

At any rate, the PS3 users have a lot more to handle at the moment, and have more of a reason to look forward to multiplat games now than before.

[SonyOwnsNextYear]

EASy:

ps3 wont rrod or scratch your discs.
ps3 is THE hd gaming console to get.
360 is 3 years old.....dated hardware.
ps3 is future proof.360 is NOT

[cliffbo]

the answer to this question is in your post but it's not what you said, it's your gaming preference

[godofthunder10]

I'm tired of all this childish fighting over stupid games and system.Fanboys act like this is more important to fight over then the major issues we are faceing in the world today and it's pathetic.

The fact is that TR is and have always been a favorite of ps owners.The fact is that both system has good and bad games on them.Fanboys want to talk about how many exclusive their system have on it.The fact is that about only 50% of them would be any good.Out of those you would only have about 20% that's really worth buying.So i wish that they all shut the h*ll up about exclusives.

They always have some crazy fanboy that don't really know what the h*ll is going on.They will say and agree with anything to make the system they have look better.Fox exsample,they have one ps3 fanboy saying that the ps3 has more exclusive games then the 360 and he claims that bioshock is a ps3 exclusive and it's been out about a year already on the 360.He just proved my point that fanboys like him are just childish,ridiculious,and pathetic.

I'm also tired of hearing the ps3 and 360 fanboys saying that the system they have will win this generation.The fact is that they are both wrong but to bias to admit the truth about the other system if it's good news.I have a 360 and i wouldn't trade it for a ps3 or wii for anything,but i'm not like fanboys that think my system is the best thing since oxygen.The fact is that the wii will outsell both systems this gen and i'll admitt it and i don't even like the wii.

Fanboys are hypercrits to.They will always critisize something if it's on the other system,but if the same thing is on their system then it's great.Fanboys always agree with negative news about the other system even if they know it's not true.They will always disagree about positive news about the other system even if they know it's true.They do the exact thing with the system they have but they always agree with positive news about it even when they know it's not true and they will always disagree with positive news about the system they have even if they know it's true.I'm tired of hearing that the 360 doesn't really have any exclusives because they are on the pc to..Ps3 fanboys could say it all they want.it still want change the fact that they are still on the top best sellers list is games sold for systems.I'm also tired of hearing the 360 or ps3 has the better exclusives.The fact is that not 1 of them do.A person that's nuetral might think that the ps3 has better exclusives then another one might say that the 360 has better exclusives.It depends of what a person like.The fact is that fanboys don't see it that way.Ps3 fanboys claim that R and LBP is a lot better then halo,GOW and fable.If Halo,GOR and fable was on the ps3 and R and LBP was on the 360 They would be saying that GOW,halo and fable are great games and LBP and R suxed because it was on the 360.360 fanboys would do the same thing.If LBP and R was on the 360 they would say they are great games.If GOW,halo and fable was on the ps3 they would say they suxed.100% of fanboys that claim that the system they have have all the good exclusive and the other system don't are just saying it because they have the system they are takeing up for.if they would have the other system they would be saying it has the better exclusives and that's just fact and it just shows how pathetic they are.I'm also tired of hearing what system have more exclusives.The fact is that they are real close.I think that the 360 might have a few more but the ps3 might have just a few more i'm not positive about it as a matter of fact i don't even give a damn about it because it's a stupid thing to fight over.I'm tired of hearing that microsoft don't care about their customers buy sony do.The fact is that neither 1 gives a sh*t about us all they are worried about is selling systems and they lied to us already to do it.The people that think sony cares about them are really pathetic.

I suggest that fanboys of the 360 and ps3 just enjoy the system and games they have.They shouldn't even worry about the other system because it doesn't concern them one damn bit. The fact is that all the people that keep argueing that the system they have is better or has better exclusives are just childish,pathetic,ridiculious and all they are doing is makeing a bigger a** out of theirselfs.

My son is 15 and my nephew is 13 and they both plays on each other system without fighting.When kids like these act like they have more sence then the older gamers on these boards then the future of our world is in danger because of their bias stoopid remaks.God help us with people like them.

[EvilCackle]

"It's selling better because this is the third Tomb Raider game released on Xbox 360, it's the first Tomb Raider game on PS3."

Actually, that part of your answer might be true.

[xwabbit]

Lol pixel you owned fallen

[NickIni]

"1st off bioshock isnt a ps3 exclusive its been out on 360 for over a year it also made its way to the pc. 2nd pc is not a consoles"

Just read that, he owned himself haha.

[xwabbit]

ROFL nicky not to be mean but did you read what he said ? He never said Bioshock was exclusive LOL he said DLC = Down Loadable Content .... so your post just made you look silly :)

[NickIni]

/epicfacepalm

"it also made its way to the pc. 2nd pc is not a consoles"

Read that again.

[xwabbit]

You sure it made it for PC ?

[Le-mo]

Because Eidos released the demo on the 360 and they realized how crappy the game was and decided not to buy it. This is why exclusive demo suck.

[Aclay]

That's a good point Le-mo, however, I also think that Tomb Raider is selling more on the PS3 because people that have been Playstation owners throughout the years have played Tomb Raider and are more familiar with the franchise, and there are probably more Tomb Raider fans with PS3's than 360's.

[Why o why]

bubbles. Whether thats true or not that was funny

[Anon1974]

Tombraider is getting much better reviews than Mercenaries 2 and 360 owners are eating Mercenaries up while PS3 owners have largely ignored it. There was a Mercenaries 2 demo, it's not like people didn't know that it was a pale shadow of it's predecessor. I think the "people tried the demo and it sucks" argument is out the window.

[Sayai jin]

@Le-Mo and AclayPS3, I agree. Bubbles for you. I gre tired of Tomb Raider after the first couple and then when they released on on the 360 a few years ago, it was like uhhhhh.

Game on!

[SuperM]

Well as its been stated previously its about fanbase. And not to mention age. PS3 owners are on average several years older then 360 owners. The ps3 is more expensive so more or less only people with a job have one while 360 is often owned by tenagers and kids aswell. And the hardcore PS fans that has followed the console since PS1 is naturally older on average then xbox fans that has followed the console since the original xbox.

And if you look at the games on the 360, you can see that shooters does best on 360 while on playstation it is more balanced between different genres. I havent checked the sales on Mercs2, but if its right that its selling well on 360 and not on ps3 then that pretty much fits with my view on the 2 consoles. 360 has more kids and teenagers that just likes to blow stuff up and shoot people in the face, now while that arguably can be fun PS owners are on general more mature thus being able to appreciate games with a little less shooting and a little more other stuff like say Tomb Raider.

[TheXgamerLive]

Fan boys do tend to make up things, but if itis true it's b/c Xbox 360 owners have all played the demo and also this is there 3rd TR game, so it's not so new to us.

Show me da money, show me the actual World Wide sales figures before you post an article like this. SHOW ME!!

p.s. I personally love the game, but I'm a die hard TR gamer.

[UnasFortuna]

For a question such as this... it can only be answered by supposition since there is no way to read a person's mind. I personally believe that a number a factors come into play for the reasons. I don't believe that a certain "income status" plays into owning a PS3. Granted it costs more than the 360... however, I know many, many people who own one who don't have the best job that allows alot of disposable income. Some people just save up for it... Others have parents who buy them for their children. Not to start a flame war by any means, but I have had 7 of my kids friends (13-15 years old each) in this last month switch over to the PS3 because they were tired of sending in their 360's for repairs. My kid is still lucky for he still has the original launch 360 and has had no problems yet with it. I played the demo on the 360 and did not like it at all; however, when it was released... I did rent it first to give it another try. I bought it for the PS3 because it got better reviews overall than the 360 version. I love games such as this as I am sure alot of other PS3 owners do. I do believe however that alot of PS3 owners (who buy their own) are in the older crowd. While we love shooters.. we do like the adventure stories and action games. The 360 does tend to have more owners who just want a shooter though. Some are right in the fact that there are great games out on both systems and many have come right out in succession which many can't afford to buy at one time (especially in this economic situation the world is in). Despite what we would hope people to do in regards to buying a game (use their own judgement instead of solely relying on someone's review), alot of people do rely on game reviews (not just one) in their decision to buy a game. This game did not get amazing reviews and that, I believe, placed it in the bottom of most people's to buy list. I admit that I didn't buy it right away because of reviews also. I bought it after I got my OMGWTFBBQ trophy in resistance 2 and finishing the geOw2 campaign. Tomb Raider 2 is a fairly decent game (better than I expected) but I can't wait for Uncharted 2. People bring up that fact that GeoW2 is selling amazingly well. While it is a great shooter...it does nothing new. I believe it has a huge following after the first installment (much like the halo franchise). It is probably the most highly ranked shooter on the 360. COD is up there... but they all go back to playing gears. It will always sell well for there is a major young crowd who want a great shooter and own the 360. I think word of mouth is also helping the TR2 game slowly by people who have actually played it. I am far from a fanboy of either system even though I might come across sometimes as one. I love both my systems for there ARE great games on both. In the end... what does it really matter which is selling more when it is multiplatform from the start.

[TheColbertinator]

I wouldn't care if it sold well on either system.Tomb Raider Underworld sucks

[pansenbaer]

And that's 'THE WORD'!

[Why o why]

true

who

cares?

[theEnemy]

what does the developers/publisher are thinking now cause of that exclusive DLC for the 360.

They would probably earn more if it was multi-plat right?

[AbdullaMTR]

Bcz alott ppl get rrod on there 360,, there money went 4 repairs nothen remain 4 them to buy games

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Well it's the only TRUE Next-gen Console out there in'it!!! ;)

[ELite_Ghost]

why?

b/c ps3 owners are grown men heterosexual while 360 fanboys are just lil kids who think girls have cooties still...

[HateBoy]

why? Because most ps3 owners secretly wish they were angelina jolie, recieving the rough end of brad pitt quite often.

Ouch...

[Keele]

GROWN MEN HETEROSEXUALS?? YOU WISH.

[aggh im on fire]

I completed it a couple of days ago and thought it was very good.
I think one of the reasons might be because theres been some big games released over the last couple of weeks for the 360. I know of 6 people on my friends list who want Tombraider but brought Gears2 or Fable2 instead and are looking to buy Underworld after Christmas.
Its good new for the ps3 but i dare say sales of the 360 version will creep ahead over the next few months.

[Why o why]

have you played drakes and are they comparable in quality no sh!ttin

honestly. I dont know anybody who has played both thats all

[AshleyRiot]

@Why o why- I own them both and Uncharted was great and i'm eagerly awaiting the next. As far as quality TR:U is gorgeous like Uncharted is maybe not in the details or animations but still very much eye candy IMO. Biggest difference between the 2 is UC focused alot more on gunplay and less on exploration even though there was some. TR:Us bread and butter is exploration and puzzle solving in huge great looking areas with a smaller amount of gunplay that isn't as polished as UC. I have not yet beaten TR:U(maybe halfway through it) but being a fan of the series and having played them all it easily ranks up there with TR1/TR:A and TR2 as the best in the series IMO.

[Why o why]

thx

[panasonic23]

ps3 owners like anime,hentai so they probably jacking off lara 3d a** ahahaahhahahahahahahahah

[TheHater]

I am guessing that why DOA extreme beach volleyball is exclusive to the xbox 360.

[elorm9]

Bubbles for you man... Nice comeback

[rawd]

I have to admit that panasonic23 fell into that one.

mmm... good... hhhhhhhhhh

[souljah]

some of this pathetic xbots doesn`t deserve a reply :| tell ur mommy to buy you a book. maybe something with colors and stuff , instead of a xbox game. u`ll feel better ;)

[Atomic]

and Xbots are jacking off to who? "Phallus Penis" and his big manly pecs?

[aggh im on fire]

Algullaf...Is that even english? Im not sure if i agree with your comment or not seeing as i can't understand a word of it.

[Nike]

SMS language FTW. :)

[elorm9]

I'm quite puzzled myself. I thought it would be no surprise if it sold better on the Xbox seeing how it has a larger fan base. Who knows? Maybe the TR devs will make an exclusive game on PS3?

[kewlkat007]

Some should be worried about Sony TOP games not selling well enough(Due to "insert reason here") not why Tomb Raider and average game per reviews, is selling better on the PS3.

Look at the top selling games on the 360 currently and how they are selling and you'll see what is being bought.

I wonder if Sony knows about this...maybe they are celebrating.

[aggh im on fire]

Yeah i have Uncharted. There very different games though. Uncharted does have better graphics on a whole but i would give level design and puzzles to Underworld.
Depends what you like. If you like the action and shooting of Uncharted then you will be disapointed but if you like good puzzles and exploring you will like it.

[Why o why]

so underworld is back to the original games. Seems like it might be the best out of the recent 1s

[BrunoM]

its always a good thing for sony to have sales ahead of the 360 in what ever game we would be talking about ..

BUT is even BETTEAR wen what they have more sales of is a game that the other company had to pay a few Millions to have DLC for and the sales are low so ya ... good id say for sony not to good for the 360 the point of paying all that money for the DLC is to game more BASE sales of the game than the other Console they are going head to head with ..

but ya got the game for my ps3 aswell not my 360 lol.. even tho the 360 will have DLC some how DLC is not something i care about i got GTA4 for the ps3 aswell not the 360 happy with the gme some far it looks at times to base like how can i say easy but ya good game im almost at the end another hour or 2 of playing and there DONE .!

[Jerkapotamus]

I don't really see brand loyalty being an issue. It didn't matter for GTA, DMC, or any other game this generation. Why would it suddenly be a factor now? Besides, if you're really a hardcore Tomb Raider fan, you're probably going to buy it on 360 to get the DLC. I think Beast is right and the PS3 just has a higher install base than the 360 in Europe.

[PotNoodle]

Just that it is the ps3's first tomb raider game, bit of a kick in the teeth for microsoft considering they bought that exclusive dlc.

[DOOMZ]

Thats why, lol...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

The sad thing is that you actually believe that..

[ultimolu]

Oh?

So what did the 360 have besides Left 4 Dead, Fable II, and Gears II?

I'm waiting.

PS3 owners had R2, Valkyria Chronicles, Naruto: Ninja Storm, Little Big Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific, plus multiplatform games.

360 fans will never admit the PS3 truly has games. That is sad.

[Grimhammer00]

It's a combination of fanbois who decided to stick with Sony, a amazing game called Uncharted - which probably left a hunger for more spelunking.

I also suspect that 360 owners are up to their ears in amazing titles at the moment - PS3 has some great games too, I think 360 has more this season...and it hurts the pocket book! LOL

My next purchase is POP...followed by Ninja Blade Jan 29th, sorry Lara...we'll dance later when your dance card isn't so full (and you cost a little less as a trad-in)

Is anybody else missing the old days when maybe 3 titles was all you had to "worry" about at/around Christmas? This is starting to get scary. I can see alot of articles popping up her come Feburary..."PS3 player succumbs to fatigue after 72hr killzone marathon!" Woot!

[Roukuko]

hmm i was in the same boat, i took tomb raider over pop i didnt like how you learned no new combat moves the whole game, and how most of combat was qte killed wanting to buy it for me.

[snoopgg]

so that and it really isn't hurting their sales. Man, Ive been playing Farcry 2, Fallout, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2,Pure,Grid, Little big Planet, So com Conforntation. In my opinion, the ps3 has more going on right now, and it hasn't hurt thier sales for Tombraider cause their install base was brought up with Tombraider on the ps1. I just think that 360 owners like Fps shooters over anything else, including Tombraider, no matter how good a game it is. Ps3 owners were brought up on Tombraider, so those people are still into this series up to this day. People with 360s were brought up on Halo, and thats why that game sells so well on the 360.

[The Desperado]

And buying PS3s with the game because there's nothing to play on 360, that's why.

Also, it's because Uncharted was a smash success and that crowd wants more.

[Mr PS3]

And a Free RRoD with every 360 game is Not that Appealing

[she00win99]

because xbots are all f@gs, they rather watch big muscle bound guys running around than sexy girls with big boobs. and they idolize that pedophile cliff bleszinski, the man who likes to sleep with 15-year boys.

[HateBoy]

You just owned yourself by calling lara croft (ummm, a video game character) sexy. NNNNNNeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd, enjoy your virginity, it's gonna last a loooong time kid!

[DeZimatoR]

Can't believe some ppl are actually trying to spin this to make it look like its bad news for the PS3/Sony.

LOL, I thought PS3 owners didn't buyt games? But when they do its because *insert random, completly moronic reason here*

You guys need to take off the green glasses, they are clouding your judgement...

[Magic_The_Celt]

Because people know where a Playstation brand game belongs.

[aggh im on fire]

I must be a minority then as i brought it for the 360 and i love boobs.
And tombraider has often been muti format starting on the saturn then ps1, ps2, pc,dreamcast. wii, xbox360 so i wouldn't say its a playstation brand but i get what your saying.

[Agent VX]

I really believe that it is because LBP and Resistance 2 is just a much shallower experience than L4D, Gears 2 and Fable 2. I have played everyone of these games, and right now the PS3 just has the weaker Oct/Nov selection than the 360.

So PS3 owners are already looking for something new while 360 are still playing recently released games. And before people get their panties in a knot, the PS3 definitely had the better release of early to mid 2008 games. Now the 360 is getting the better games. That is just the cycle of gaming.

"Waits for idiotic childish fanboys with glee!!!"

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Shallower? What the frick, man? I personally think Fable II and Gears of War 2 both failed miserably to evoke any sort of emotion in me. At least with LittleBigPlanet, people can open up their imagination...and remember what it was like to be a child again. It's fantastic.

We have Bioshock now, also...which is hardly shallow.

MGS4?

[elorm9]

What's new on the Xbox besides Fable and GeOW2? COD WaW just came out and it seems that most of my friends are playing that instead of those 2 games you mentioned.

[Anon1974]

Yeah, while I've looked both Fable 2 and Gears 2, I'm currently rushing through them just to finish them off and be done with them so I can spend some quality time with LBP, R2 and COD-WOW. F2 and Gears 2 have been a lot of fun, but they aren't keepers. Worth one good playthru.

[I_LOVE_MYSELF]

is my 360 tag... just by looking at my achievements for both GoW2 and Fable2 will show you how long they kept me entertained... for those to lazy to check it isnt that long

[ultimolu]

Did you play them?

Love how 360 fans talk about games they've never played before.

Shallower, lol.

Is that why LBP has a high metacritic score, Valkyria Chronicles crushed all the jrpgs on the 360 combined, AND R2 received some pretty good scores?

[Ps_alm3k]

people are just sailing the seas on a xbox thats all...
hargh hargh hargh!!!!! says jack sparrow.

[SixAmpFuze]

It only solde like 50k more so its not that big of a deal and between gears , fable and the other games that are better than tomb raider why would anyone want it. LBP and R2 arent big enough games for the ps3 to drown out some other games.Im just shocked that it sold so low on all systems.

[heroicjanitor]

Do Valkyria Chronicles, Bioshock, Naruto, Motorstorm 2, and Socom not count? Get over yourself the ps3 version sold more because it has always been a playstation franchise if halo went multiplat the 360 version would sell much more..

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

20-somethings who loved the original Tomb Raider games are buying PS3's for Blu-ray, because they're in college now...and it's cool to show off.

I have one for the gaming...but I know a few people on my hall that have it for the Blu-ray.

[No Way]

I guess there is just more single men, and some women, who have a PS3 that are single and wanna see Mrs. Lara from behind, and perhaps send some.. er, "quality" time with her. =P

Just playing, calm down. =)

[Nexy]

I bought PSX just because I fell in love with the first demo of TR on a demo disc in a Playstation Magazine. Wanted to paly the whole game and that's how it started. Bought actually every single TR game plus the PC expansions. Being a diehard Lara fan since the first game I got TR on Xbox simply because of DLC.

The only reason for better sales on PS3 is that there are way more top quality games on Xbox the new TR has to compete with, I suppose. Also it is actually the first TR game on PS3. TR Legends and Anni were available for PS2 owners. PS3 owners wanted to check the game out.

I msut admit Underworld is definitely one of the best TRs ever. :-)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Socom, Wipeout HD, Metal Gear Solid 4, and SSARPBC's???

Gears of War 2 and Fable 2???

Yeah...the PS3 has no chance...

[fredy]

Gears of War 2 and Fable will wipe mop the floor with any games listed below and that's just 2 games. now add the multi-plat ones and it's murda..

[Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet, Socom, Wipeout HD, Metal Gear Solid 4, and SSARPBC's???]

only metal gear sold 4 didnt flop in sales. ps3's best game to date. thats the truth. cant wait for nov software numbers

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What do sales matter when you can continually pick up a game and enjoy it?

[No Way]

Good point, Leon. But, maybe that's why some people would rather pick up Fable 2 & Gears 2, rather than all those games you listed.. Maybe, just maybe. o.O

[Grimhammer00]

really...she00win99? I'll give you one chance to back out of what you just spouted. Forget that - I realize that with this new fangled tech we call video games...that it's the new shiz, when it comes to media entertainment...but back where I come from, we find REAL girls sexy.

All kidding aside - you realize that video games are based off of wish fufillment right? We all play games because their fun...but also to experience a good narrative and a false sense of accomplishment.

But from what you just vomitted forth - I get the distinct feeling that you play games to whack off or perhaps fantasize about dressing up and pretending to be Mrs. Croft?

Stand still for a sec - I always wanted to see what the defintion of LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR was.

loser.

[she00win99]

booo hooo!! are you crying? you shouldn't have reply my comment because you just prove yourself that you're one of the xbot f@ggots. by the way you should improve your grammar because i don't speak chinese...

[NMC2007]

It's on my list of "To buy" games.

I mean between Tomb Raider, Sonic Unleashed, Naruto Broken Bond, Mirror's Edge and a whole bunch more games to choose from, I think sales for TRU will pick up after everyone gets their high profile games outta the way, also, I feel like 360 owners are waiting for a price drop, seeing how TRA was $40.00 and TRU is $60.00, I don't think 360 gamers want to pay more than $40.00 for a game that is seemingly the same as the $40.00 version, but I really don't know the answer.

[lovecipher7]

Have you played this demo he game sucks sorry just my opinion. Most PS3 dont really have much to play so this will hold them over until most of their good games start rolling in next year.

[pcz]

because more people who want the game happen to have a ps3.

[mushroomwig]

It's almost like the OP can't stand that the game is selling better on the PS3 =/

[DJ]

I mean DMC4 sold better on PS3 as well, but that game didn't have any "exclusive demos". It's just the differences in userbase. The two consoles cater to two very different age groups, 360 to teenagers and PS3 to adults. The PS3 audience is probably more familiar with the Tomb Raider series since it started off on the PS1.

And in case you're wondering where i got that userbase data from:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles...

[Hollander]

I know why, because people that have both consoles (like me) actually want to still be able to play their games in the next 5 years. And that guarantee just isn’t there on the 360… sadly enough.

**** every body that thinks I am a fanboy!

[Serjikal_Strike]

Its selling at all..on either console!

This game has gotten some pretty sh11ty reviews!

[tatotiburon]

lol lara is selling better than sacky, xbox 360 users bought more tan 2 millions units of GeOW2 in first weekedn, fable 2 another million units and every other multiplataform tittle sold better in xbox 360, there isn't room for Tomb Raider. But R2 and LBP sells were crappy so a lot of people had enough money to try the new adventure of Lara.

Before you people begin to cry...facts: R2 and LBP didn't sell million in first weekend.

[elorm9]

Fact: Wii Fit is more AAA than any of those games you mentioned

[kewlkat007]

If Gears 2 + Fable 2 are the biggest 360 Games out and have sold over 3 million+ in like 3 weeks combined.

and LBP + R2 are Sony's biggest games and I'm not sure what they have sold but don't think it's anywhere in the same ballpark comparisons to 360's TOP anticipated GAMES.

That should tell you a lot about what people are playing/Not playing Vs Buying/Not buying into.

Right now, the Xbox 360 has Gears 2, Fable 2, L4D, Fallout 3, FC2, Banjo, COD5, NBA2k9...now tell me where does Tomb Raider fit in there? Not saying it's a bad game, just saying people act like and are still blind as if, there is nothing to buy or play on the 360.

Or maybe Tomb Raider was going to destroy the charts or something..

I'm not really sure what's the Ps3's case, cause their big games don't match up SALES-WISE.

[aggh im on fire]

This is good...

[Spike47]

Now Tomb Raider sucks because it sells more on a system with a lower install base?

Resistance 2, LBP(second highest rated game this year,) MGS4(highly rated) are not enough to deliver for PS3 owners so they buy Tomb raider?? Why not Fallout3 instead?? Completely idiotic logic.

[N4Flamers]

you did not just say fanboys use biased logic to defend their console. I dont see a shred of evidence from this article, I mean links numbers, anything. Some people say its europe, I cant tell because the article doesnt tell me. This is all flame bait and it worked. Truthfully I dont care I will be renting this game then returning it just like I did with TRL

[creeture]

haha Micro$oft just wasted their money again.

[Grimhammer00]

she00win99...if i was, would you care? would you hold me tight - make all the hurt go away?

Well..you are entertaining - dumb as a post, but amusing none the less.

Since you are clearly my superior, educate me some more on you supreme douchebaggery! I mean seriously...the first puss-pile that you squeezed into this thread was full of venom and bile. Do you have no need or desire to be a decent indivdual? You're clearly a troll...and that's fine, but keep your pathetic puke to yourself. We're all gamers here...and as it so happens I have owned and played, even beaten every tomb raider game ever that was released on a major console. In fact...I think I know now where you are coming from; my nephew - he finds digital polygons hot too.........of course he's 12.

[DrWan]

X360 has more exclusive? HAHAHAHA

Ps3 has more, reality check come on. Little Big Planet, R2, MotorStorm Pacific Drift, SOCOM, if u want to add older games for ppl who recently bought PS3, add Uncharted and MGS4.

I am missing quite a few as well, just listing the popular ones. Not to mention tons of PSN titles.

This guy doesn't know what he's writing about

[MiztaToungueTwista]

because the people that own ps3 like women

[ezcex]

I don't know man. I blow my load either way :P

[MaximusPrime]

IMO: Playstation controller is best for tomb raider series

[Grimhammer00]

DrWan - I don't recall saying exclusives. I simply said "up to their ears in amazing titles at the moment."

I won't dispute your list though - like I said I'm a GAMER...not a HATER. (ok...that sounded lame even in my head.) LOL

Look, I don't know the specific numbers...but we've all read about 360's attachment rate compared to PS3. And that isn't saying MS has better games or more games that are better, it's just that some unknowable amount of PS3's sold to some users as (at the time) the cheapest alternative to get a Blu-Ray player. How many of those people were later converted to gamers is likely unknowable. How would you track such a metric?

Anyhow, she00win99 the douchebag is a troll trying to start something.
And I was bored...so I foolishly decided to have some fun. My bad.

Back on thread topic - why do you think Tomb Raider is selling better on PS3? The graphics are near identical...the test that showed the 360 being darker than PS3 was because the comparison test was done with the 360 extended option on...and the LCD tv was a old model. Some HDTV's aren't calibrated correctly to accomendate that setting.

I believe the PS3 was the lead console...so I expect it to look better on the PS3...but I'd imagine 97% of the people who buy games aren't as informed as n4g users...so what could it be?

I think that Tomb Raider being one of the preimer titles for Playstation back in the day, is seen by many users old enough to remember...as almost a Sony mascot....very much tied to the Sony brand.

[she00win99]

another long boring bull sh!t comment. reading your comments is like taking a sleeping pill, i almost fell asleep...

by the way, your mother is licking my balls while i'm replying your comment...

[heyheyhey]

what makes you think DrWan was talking to you?

and please learn how to use the reply button

[DrWan]

Ok, your argument doesn't work though buddy. You said x360 has so much games up in their ears. You do realize that the argument that Ps3 has no games is no longer true right. Maybe one and half year ago you could have used that argument but not anymore.

If I hear anybody say the PS3 has no games, they are indirectly saying that the X360 has no games. PS3 and the X360 has 99% of the same third party games and who has more 1st party games? I don't need to wikipedia you to death, you get my point. The PS3 by far, UpToDate, has alot more exclusive titles (good or not, everything from poorly perceived Lair to mediocre SOCOM to incredibly good LBP/MGS4/R2/Motorstorm/Unchart ed) and so on.

The reason that Tomb Raider is selling more is because alot of the gamers who grew up with the PS1/2 still are buying the PS3 and not the X360. And they played the previous TR on PlayStatoin. The Same reason that Devil May Cry sells more on the PS3 in tie ratio (console vs copies sold) because it was first and foremost a PlayStation game.

Here is another thing for you, if you want to compare tie ratio, you need to compare to the same lifetime, not X360 3rd year vs PS3 2nd yr. Compare the X360 2nd yr u will be surprised they are surprisingly closer than you think.

If I market a new console today, my tie ratio would be like 1:1 if i only sell 1 game to the gamers as oppose to 3 yrs later when they have the time to buy more games.

Another sepculation for you is that Ps3 is more expensive, so the gamers have less funds to buy other games, setting them back some 200 dollar would be about 3.5 games.

Here is another sepculation for you, the demographics for PS3 and X360 is slightly different, most PS3 owners are older people, in their late 20s and mid 30s. These gamers, including myself, are not hardcore because we have no time. we have work,and some people have work and school. We don't play as much games, so one game can last me for 2 months as oppose to a hardcore gamer that can burn through 10 games in 2 months.

Anyways, sorry to make you read all that.

[Mike134nl]

Apparantly there are more people who would buy tomb raider on the ps3 than on the xbox360. This does say something about the owners of the ps3 owners.
1First of they are hard core gamers and buy a lot of games including tomb raider
2 They prefered tomb raider over AAA games like little big planet, due to brand loyalty, most likely played previous tomb raider incarnations on a playstation console.
3 The demo released on the xbox360 deterred a lot of buyers on the xbox360 side
4 ps3 owners has a bigger prefference for these kind of games than xbox 360 owners

In the end I can only say that I am broke at the moment so buying one game later next month is all I can afford, but I know it won't be tomb raider

[RebornSpy]

PS3 gamers have nothing better to play! Hahahaha!

Jk... truthfully I don't know. It could just be a coincidence.

[Meryl]

no maybe just maybe 2 many xbox360 owners are playing on copied versions, seriously pirating eats up a whole chunk of sales opportunities, that's why i'm glad there is no such thing on the ps3, anyways rebornspy if u have so much to play on then why are u here bashing the ps3 lol

[RebornSpy]

You guys need to lighten up. I have a PS3, too.

But personally I would never get the game. I really didn't like the demo at all. It just kept me occupied while I downloaded the Left 4 Dead demo.

[Jdoki]

Bet MS are REALLY glad they paid Eidos for that exclusive DLC!

Perhaps this will teach MS a lesson that trying to buy higher sales by paying off every developer/publisher to gain DLC does absolutely nothing...

50 mill on GTAIV DLC, and the game sells only a few more copies than the PS3 with it's lower install base.

Now Tomb Raider exclusive DLC, and yet the game sells better on the PS3... with it's lower install base.

Well done MS. Why not try funding some new IP or investing in some small indie studios, instead of paying for crap that makes no difference whatsoever.

[Firstkn1ghT]

A few more copies? Uuuuuuum, the 360 version sold millions more! :/

[Jdoki]

First day sales in the UK were 55% to 45% in favour of 360 by most accounts.

I heard similar stuff for the US market too. Now looking at the fact that of the 6million copies sold (as of May this year), 3.6million of those were on day 1 - we can guess that the 360 beat the PS3 by around 360,000 units world wide on day 1.

Chances are the 360 pulled ahead after day 1 due to bigger install base, but even if we take it that the 360 vs PS3 sales were 60% vs 40% overall that gives the 360 a lead of 1.2million. Just over a million, and not the millionS you claim.

When you factor in install base - taking the 360 as being 3-5million consoles ahead maybe... That's not a particularly impressive figure

Can you honestly say that the 50million dollars MS spent really was money well spent?

I've said this before... If Epic are to be believed the original Gears cost 10million USD to make. I know I'd rather have 5 new IP's rather than a lump of DLC for an underwhelming game like GTAIV.

[Grimhammer00]

No dynamic lightning or shadows on XBox360

[Nike]

Well, that's graphical superiority but hey, at least some one's provided concrete proof which one is better (even if it's only one factor).

[thewhoopimen]

I don't know if you realized nainainai, but you just proved my point. If you have them all, you have a higher disposable income EVEN IF you prefer to be considered a 360 aficianado. You're in the higher income bracket and can afford fable2, gear2s, fallout3, farcry2, AND tombraider IF you so choose. The Point is SO COULD pretty much every PS3 user out there too.

[Zulwarn]

because there is nothing better to play on the bs3

while The 360 owners have tons of AAA to play so they dont bother with TR

[anubis12]

who cares the game sucks

[Arsenal4Ever]

Spin fanboy Spin.

[Ninjamonkey82]

If any you all care to glance by your fanboyism you may remember the PS1 and the impact Tomb-Raider had on that console. Easily i did as well as sony's 1st party games and at that time i was exclusive two that console with a PC version in the pipeline. Real gamers don't forget that they remember how hey enjoyed his and that game. Lara had the same impact for Sony imo as Mario did for Nintendo at that time. Hmm what you have to remember to every one is on these websites forums etc they play what they know and they play where they remember it was good.

[TheSadTruth]

It's pretty clear what's going on here

More Xbox 360 owners are homosexuals and prefer games with big strong men like Gears of War 2 over games with attractive women like Tomb Raider

[SprayandPreycom]

i played tomb raider legend on 360 horrible
dont think ill rush out to get this new one on either console..

[anubis12]

sad truth...truth is your sad. and im sorry you bought this game for your ps3 what a waste of money and space you are

[T-Baggins]

Because all games will in the future

[xg-ei8ht]

I just got home and played some bowling last night,.rofl/

also playing LBP/ soon to get ms2, and maybe resistance 2.

Too much to choose from.

So much to do.

PS3 is the ultimate gaming,media centre.

[Napoleon1853]

It is selling better on PS3 because it got bad reviews and is a horrible game--Horrible Game matches a Horrible System like the PS3 Well

[SpikeSpiegel]

Then again, should this be any kind of earth shattering news? Just because a game is offered on both 360 and PS3, that doesn't mean it will automatically sell better on 360.

[mastiffchild]

Jeez, for a game so apparently weak that 360 owners neither care about nor want to play it there's certainly a lot of weird waffle coming from their little army of wind-up merchants. It seems obvious to me that there's little more to this than most PS3 owners are slightly older and as a result are both more choosy about what they play(i.e they want more than just shooters)and more likely to have a long history of playing TR games. There are well documented causal reasons for the PS3 install base being older-the higher price, more interested in the Blu-Ray etc, etc so I see this as almost plain fact.

PS3 owners are, apparently more likely(being older as a rule)to have been hit by the current financial problems and may therefore be tightening their belts(more likely to have mortgages than live with parents stuff like that). They're also more likely to have kids too so expect the, frankly brilliant, LBP to hit an Xmas spike and sell throughout the next twelve months. When, and it apalls me both ways, people get fanboyish about stuff like this I have to wonder about gamers in general. 360 has got some great games but seeing as they mostly come out on PC I got shut of my malfunctioning Elite because it was dead as often as it worked(my only problem with the console)as I lost least that way. Admittedly Gears2 was great(Fable2 was cack of the worst kind though)and is the only exclusive I'm ever jealous of these days-but the popularity of all 360 shooters does suggest the 360 user is generally a more blinkered gamer-maybe because of their general age difference.

But anyway, Lara is more stuck into the heart of PS lore and this is about age and brand loyalty and has nothing to do with any other title.

[GWAVE]

It's odd how many people view this as some sort of anomaly or problem, as if a game selling more on the PS3 needs to be quantified and explained, like a UFO sighting or a hallucination.

Some games sell more on some systems. This particular instance is just further proof that not EVERY game has to sell more on the 360 just because.....the media says so. Seriously, though. Soccer (or "football" for most parts of the world) games sell much better on PS3 hardware than on 360 hardware. Is this so hard to imagine? The assumed "fact" that multiplatform games will automatically sell more on the 360 is a myth that has been dispelled many times over.

[killabev]

Brand loyality of cause.. Plus when it comes to (multi platform) the PS3 usually wins out and pulls in more money.. They had an article on this not to long ago on here. Both EA and Capcom (Multi Platform Gods) said the PS3 was pulling in more for them than the 360 when it somes to multi platform games.

[jack who]

Yea, The Cell. if you want to complain about something, back it up.

[Tykis]

TR is seen, still as a playstation icon so it's obviously gunna sell more on PS3 no matter how hard M$ push it for 360!

[kazuma]

i have a really good theory on why it's selling better on ps3. because there's more ps3 owners interested in the game, how about that?

what a bunch of annoying fanboys, grow up, not everyone has to play gow2, lbp, fable 2, resistance2 or whatever game with a number 2 or 3...tomb raider's been around long before any of those franchises were created, and every single game appeared on ps1,ps2, and now ps3...since it's been around for twelve years on sony platforms i'd say it probably has a much bigger following with sony fans.
it's not that hard to think is it? -_-

[Frizzo]

I think it has nothing to do with RRoD or the xbox360 lighting someones house on fire trying to load the game....I think all of the Uncharted W*ores bought it along with anyone else either already interested in tomb raider or the game itself.

[Firstkn1ghT]

Well not much to play on the ps3, the 360's holiday season is PACKED! This was an easy question.

[LeGenDx]

or does his logic kinda fail ?

"it sells more on sony because xbox has more games then sony"

this guy goes to name 2 exclusive.

anyways i think it sold more on ps3 because of the fanbase from ps1/ps2

[smurfie4]

It could be that people associate the tomb raider franchise with the Sony brand. The very first one was on the ps1.

[Andras84]

Tomb Raider is a PS game. Tomb Raider 1-2-3-4-5 and Angel of Darkness where all on Playstation. I know I know it was on PC as well. But most Tomb Raider fans I'm sure got a PS3 and got TR for it. PC guys probably pirated it as soon as it became available.

So I would say, more TR fans on PS3 than on 360. That simple.

[LeGenDx]

is it anygood?

[Andras84]

One of the best TR games!! You should get it. Or if you are not sure than try to rent it first.

[DARKTRINITYxxx]

Well we all know most XFLOP owners are little kids so a game involving puzzles to solve would be too hard for them. Also i think its funny as MS payed for exclusive content yet the game has sold more on the PS3 i bet edios are kicking themselves as we speak lol and it serves them right.

[yanikins111]

haha. i read a few reviews then deleted my uncharted save game data so i could get the trophies on my umpteenth playthrough.

[Agrahim]

All the people saying the PS3 has no games right now... how does that make any sense? What the hell have I been playing the past two months then? Was the awesome holiday PS3 lineup all in my head? Will I wake up tomorrow and find that I'm really in a padded room, a mental institution?

NURSE BETTY: "Whats his story, doctor?"

DOCTOR WILLIAM BIRKIN: "Sick bastard, he imagined PS3 had great holiday releases. Resistance 2 doesn't exist, neither does Little Big Planet. Poor son of *****. When he found out the truth, he smashed his Gamecube and tried to kill himself."

Both systems have games I wouldn't mind playing (Fable 2 on 360, maybe, MAYBE Left 4 Dead, but being a PS3 owner Valve tends to **** me off... but being a life long zombie killing fan since the original Resident Evil, I like killing the undead).

Anyways, I personally love TR:U right now. Fun as hell, beautiful graphics, fun exploration, but I noticed the combat is tougher than previous games. I've been playing TR games since the very beginning, and have yet to get sick of Lara. When it comes to sequels, I'm pretty open minded, probably why I like horror movies so much...

I am surprised to hear the PS3 version is selling better though (especially considering the DLC exclusivity for 360), I would have to say what everyone else is saying: "Uncharted (one of the funnest games I've probably ever played) and long time TR fans on the PS3 are buying TR:U". One last note, everyone should stop fighting over stupid crap and just play the fun as hell games coming out.

[gamfreak]

why Tomb Raider selling better on PS3, cause most of the xbox has to send in for repair or waiting for a replacement set. Lol.

[The Mikester]

because the PS3 rocks!

[tonywood]

I'm sure that the game is just as good on the 360. However, the success of Drakes Fortune has many ps3 owners back on the adventure trail. Kinda like what Fable and Oblivion has done for the 360.

Even if KILLZON2 is a mega hit, the ps3 will never get respect as a mature shooter system. We can get on here and hate on each other, but it all comes down to what each of us prefer. I love blu ray movies, plaformers, multi plat. games, and adventure stuff. So, the ps3 is for ME. 360 is looked at as hard core...Halo, Gears, you know, shooters. (I like shooters, but I want other games...even if they're not as good as Gears or Halo.) Most xbox fans will not be interested in LBP, JAK, or R&C..speaking in general, only. SONY is looked at as a underage girl trying to get into the club, with a fake ID. (with all the shooters) ON the other hand, xbox would face the chance of losing street cred if they came out with wii sports or R&C.

[sak500]

Because PS3 owners like playing as girls/women since most of them are gay.

[Nike]

...Mirror's Edge was still fun (and I played that on 360). :)

[sak500]

Mirror's edge sucked big time.

[batmandarkknight]

HD HOTNESS.

:)

[Tony600]

My next game:LittleBigPlanet.

[iHeretic]

I'll guess it's because Xbox 360 gamers has realized that it isn't fun to play with poor cameras, AND the fact that they ar playing Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, and Halo 3 at the moment.

[Bebedora]

Let's analyze this. Something is wrong?

[gersh]

Because us PS3ers are awesome.

[InMyOpinion]

PS3 owners have very bad taste in games. They are more interested in Tomb Raider than in Valkyria Chronicles and LittleBigPlanet.

[SolidWarri0r]

Because im buying Gow2, left 4 dead, rock band 2 and gh:world tour.

ill get tomb raider later in life.

[Citizen Cook]

360 has so many games, Tomb raider simply isn't in such demand on the greatest console the world has ever seen...

[Naar]

its very simple alot pf ppl like me who have both Xbox360 and PS3 but we liked to play on PS3 more than Xbox its that simple i would buy a game on PS3 better and i dont have to worry about red rings but if the game only on xbox then i will get it on xbox but if game on both then PS3>> Xbox

[commando34]

if you think mirrors edge sucks than you haven't played it period. Its the most original game I've ever seen and its soooo much fun. You people need to look beyond the hype of a game to see its true awesomeness, Im going to give sony credit for this one, bravo. Mirrors sold EXTREMELY bad and nobody thought it was cool or put it up for GOTY. Like my avatar, it made me a sad panda :( because I care T-T.

[CAPT IRISH]

i am surprised these games still sell on any platform...

[eagle21]

Fuc# 360 and their lame games. :)

[maurom96]

Their is nothing to really buy or play on a PS 3. That is why platform games do so well. I am not fanboy, just talkin straight numbers. Also, most of my friends who own 360's are burnt out on TR. with the last two iterations being really lame, its just not worth the money.

[LarVanian]

Ignorant stupid Xbot.
There is Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift.
If you are going to say these games suck then back up full detailed reasons.
Resistance 8-player co-op is more addicting than anything on 3Fix-me and it runs so smoothly.
Little Big Planet is a game that is more creative than anything on 360.
Valkyria Chronicles is one JRPG that points and laughs at every single one of those so called JRPGs on 360.

I bet now you are gonna say that "" Buh buh buh buh buh those.........those games .............all FLOPPED""

Lol you Xbots are pathetic, all that matters to you guys are sales not quality.

Why don't you f@ggots go get some digital girl in Fable 2 pregnant since you can't get girls in real life.

It's selling better because ps3 owners are gernerally older, have their own income, and just have more money to spend. the majority of 360 owners are teens and rely on parents to buy them everything. ps3 is a grown-ups console, 360 is a teen/poor-man's console.

Who cares, the game sucks.

Yes, you could argue that 360 owners have simply too many games available at the moment - including exclusives like Gears of War 2 and Fable 2......And....??? what else oh yeah thats right... nothing else. and personaly IMO fable sux.. so that leavs Gears 2.. wow 1 game... 1.. yes 1 is way to many games for me to play on a 360 so they got that right

This story is just another attempt to put the PS3 Fans against the 360 Fans.

Pointless twoddle that gets the kiddies worked up.

Who cares if a cross platform game sells better on one system than another? The game makers, the game sellers perhaps, but I dont think any serious players give a toss.

The original TR was on PS1, then PS2. It damn near started the "action adveture" genre, and was loved by many a PS owner.
If Forza where the exact game as GT (yeah I know, just stop), Sony owners would still buy GT, and vise versa.

I think it's more than brand loyalty though. And the fact that many
Playstation owners had it from the start, and are more attached to
Laura, is a big factor. (myself included)

Me? I'm not getting it for either console because the camera totally
blows. (rented for a day)

[Xbots are pathetic]

its simple and there is 2 reasons

first is because 360 fanbois spend money on 5 360s then they have no money, so they but one game (the only game they have) gears2.

They also dont realise there sexuality because theyre 13 so they want to see some big muscled men which is why most of them are GAY
