Battlefield 3 360 Outsells > PS3 + PC combined

another assumption... bfbc2 is still pretty strong, hell a good chunk of the PC community is likely to roll back to bf2, or move onto mw3savagetwinkie

Another assumption...no one is going to roll back to the what-is-now crap BF2 after playing BF3. A good chunk won't move to MW3 either.

right, but that doesn't stop the fact that 360 dominated in sales so far... you're making massive assumptions, so why can't I now?savagetwinkie

Because VG Chartz is not a credible source, therefor these numbers are BS and we don't know who sold the most.

There's no reason for them to move back to BF2, BC2, or move to MW3 unless they had more friends who played those or their machine can't handle BF3.

[QUOTE="savagetwinkie"] even if you do the math where where EA said it sold 5million, the xbox is nearly half the sales... yes it issavagetwinkie

but what do you think will happen to this 360 domination on BF3 once MW3 comes out :trollface:

Bf2 had a strong community and it didn't keep BC 2 from selling :P

You know what this means?

360's the best version
PS3's in second place
PC has the worst version


Damn... if I only knew I was buying the worst version ahead of time. All those higher review scores mean nothing now that the 360 haz da beast sails.

shooterBox360 :P

But I think if they did include sales on origin it would be much different. A lot of people I know bought the game directly on origin, and I haven't heard anyone at my school playing it on consoles.

PSdual_wielder

I bet if they included the sales from everywhere it would be accurate, but as it is it's just a guess.

It does not include Digital Downloads which is where 60% of pc sales come from (maybe even more for BF)

Shooter console + no exclusives console Nothing to see here.kuraimen

I like how you try to bash on the 360 even though the numbers for the PC are so wrong.

The PC could very well have the highest amount of purchasers right now after factoring in digital distribution (which I bet accounts for 80-90% of sales for a title like BF3), as well as other retailers, and yet the PC also has the most exclusives of them all.

kozzy1234

Yeah, the digital percentage for this game is probably higher than usual; all PC versions of Battlefield 3 activate on Origin, so as with Steamworks games many players will go with whatever version is the cheapest (since the end result is the same), only opting for retail if it happens to be cheaper or they really want the physical materials.

I am guessing PC sales are close to the 360 version. This is why the Microsoft is the winner and Sony is the loser this console generation. Between System sales, Xbob Live, Exclusive sales numbers (Very few Sony exclusives come close to Microsoft exclusive sales), better 3rd party sales, and a bigger attachment rate, not to mention Kinect sales, Microsoft really put a beating on Sony.

Even with DD included I don't doubt PC version sold the worst. PC games always sell slower, but more steadily. Hence why at launch in most cases console versions outsell PC one, but later down the line they often even out.

360 is actually the best console version by miles

Dayum. That's some serious hermit ownage.

"The numbers aren't 100% accurate as some digital retailers, including EA's Origin, haven't disclosed their sales numbers, so it's likely that the numbers for the PC version are higher than reported."

agpickle

I knew that was going to be the issue before I even clicked the link. I love how something like this comes out so soon before the main platform of the PC purchases is accounted for. And notice where that was placed on the article. Clearly an attempt to raise site traffic.

Because VG Chartz is such incredible ownage...

Right now pc has 95,732 players online, ps3 has 134,501 and 360 has 203,321! dom2000

Actually 360 had more exlusives than any console in 2011

Halo CE, Forza 4, Rise of NIghtmares, Gunstringer, timed CHild of Eden and Bastion, Trenched, Half Minute Hero remake, Mr Splosion Man, Illomilo, Gears of War 3 etc etc

Also the PC/360 only Divinity 2, Torchlight and Grey Matter

Also two of them are the most huge shooters on the planet, Halo and Gears, so that would definatly not be a reason to increase BF3 sales

The reason 360 sells more is the fact that is 10.000.000 consoles ahead in US

Bastion is on PC, saolin. ilomilo is on Windows Phone 7. It's amazing how you manage to list games that aren't exclusives but miss the real ones.

So much false info. 360 is just as bad as the Wii for exclusives, except the Wii actually gets a good game in 14 days.

360 is only ahead by 2 million consoles, as per Sony and MS's own reports. PS3 is set to overtake the 360 next year.

Ha, fail more... please it really is funny.

Halo CE is a remake/'remaster'; RoN, Gunstringer, Child of Eden are all three Kinect games; Bastion is on PC (was just 50% off on Steam); Half Minute Hero is also a remake; the others excluding Forza and GeoW are downloadable.

This is the most pathetic attempt at trying to boost something's track record I have seen on SW in a while. You gotta try harder than that.

Even with Halo CE and those Kinect games, PS3 still wins and it doesn't include Japanese titles.

@ChubbyGuy40 That list does have a few games that weren't released this year on the PS3, but it does get the point across. :Psoulitane

I know, but was too lazy to update that list since it's so old.

Yakuza 4

Disgaea 4

UC3

KZ3

Resistance 3

LBP2

MLB 2011

Taking off child of eden and bastion since they are no longer exclusives my list is bigger. I see no need to add the PSN titles yet since you haven't even beaten the retail list.

Gears of War 3

Halo CE

Forza 4

Rise of NIghtmares

Gunstringer

Trenched

Half Minute Hero remake

Mr Splosion Man

Illomilo

Bastion (time exclusive)

Please stick to the damn discussion and stop trying to derail it. We're talking about exclusives.

Also Half Minute Hero is a port, not a remake. Ilomilo is also on WP7.

Most of the games you listed aren't exclusive in the metagame list. You seem to have no problem with that though. :|
