The Meerkat5332d ago

1.77% of 360 owners bought Batman
2.54% of PS3 owners bought Batman

Interesting

news4geeks5332d ago

wait a minute; if there are 33m 360s and 21m ps3s in the americas, that means just less than 2% of 360 owners bought batman and just less than 3% of ps3 owners bought it.

don't know what meerkat is on about...

Ddouble5331d ago

How exactly did you do your calculations.

Anyway the sales on both consoles are almost equal despite the 360 having a 12 Million lead in console sales in NA.

I did not expect that for a popular game. Does the PS3 version have extra content?

ABizzel15331d ago

My opinion on the matter is that

1) The previous game Arkham Asylum had the Joker challenge exclusive to the PS3, and I'm one of those people who if I start a franchise on one console I'll finish it on that one, so that could be a reason.

2) The Action-Adventure genre feels PlayStation. That's the genre I think about when I think of what makes Sony better than the others, and it's my favorite genre. Action-Adventure games aren't the go to genre for the 360.

Im upset that rage sold 300k. That game was really bad.

Aussiegamer5331d ago

It was even worse on pc using a ati gpu, Rage was about the only thing the game made me do.

newleaf5331d ago

First week sales for Ratchet & Clank are really sad.

aquamala5331d ago

it's pretty good for a bad game

GrandTheftZamboni5331d ago

chidori6665331d ago

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio31d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing31d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit31d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing31d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9231d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
