PS3 and Xbox 360 have sold around 75 million units each although PS3 was launched a year late.
Sony's Exclusive games have not come close to Microsoft exclusives
in terms of units of games sold. I'm not comparing quality or review scores here.
Halo franchise alone has sold more than God of War, Uncharted and KillZone put together, the 3 marquee franchises of SONY. Dont know the figures for Gran Turismo series.
Playstation 2 sold 150 Million units on the back of GTA III, Gran Turismo games and it was a system seller.
Microsoft has tons of cash and they are very good in marketing Xbox and making it synonymous with games like
Call of Duty, Madden, Minecraft etc and primarily targets North America. Along with it services in the TV/Cable domain.
Sony has 12 studios exclusive to them but they need to market their games better.[DOUBLEPOST=1371029748][/DOUBLEPOST]
MS needs more exclusives as well. This is one department where Sony tops.
If it does not convert to sales for Sony it means nothing. That's where M$ is so good. Marketing and getting people excited for CODs, Halo etc at any cost.
