UK Report: Tomb Raider Underworld sales leading on PS3

SO what you're saying is that PS3 gamers just have really bad taste in games? Or they want virtual boobies more than 360 gamers?

Kidding, kidding, guys. This is a bit odd though, I gotta say.

SLIME: Try it on the Wii-holy shti it's tuff! Took me a whole day just to beat Kraken. Oh, did I mention I suck anyway-knock about 6 hrs. playtime off for yourselves. lol.

AND, PS3 owners cannot play Gears of War II or Left 4 Dead.....that MIGHT have a little something to do with it.

I think the more interesting thing about this is, the 360 had a demo, the PS3 did not. That could be a factor putting some 360 owners off. Tomb Raider has a history of being on the PS platforms but honestly, i doubt thats a real factor as TR Anniversary was on 360 and sold quite well.

As for DLC.. i think exclusive DLC only matters when the game is high profile. I don't see a game like Tomb Raider even getting close to the sales a game like Fallout 3 will.

These are UK figures obviously and despite Xbox 360 having more sold in the UK, its foolish to think the PS3 (and Playstation brand) are doing badly here, which just isn't the case. The PS3 is selling well, even at the ridiculous price point.

Sales couldn't possibly have anything to do with the glut of 360 exclusives over the past three months. In just the past three months we've had Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, Fable II, Gears of War 2, the Last Remnant & Left 4 Dead. Then you toss in cross platform titles like Rock Band 2, GH:WT, Fallout 3, Force Unleashed & Mirror's Edge. Something's gotta give. 360 owners have not been hurting for quality entertainment. It's been a constant barrage on the wallet. Kinda makes me worry for Prince of Persia.

Why don't multiplatforms count? Point remains, if your only console is 360 then you have a dozen [perceived] hit titles to choose from over the past few months. It's hard to make the 9th game, of what's perceived as a tired franchise, stand out in that crowd. Plus you factor in with Legend and Anniversary, the TR has almost become an annual franchise on the 360. People can get their Lara fix for far less than $60 on the 360.

Of course with almost a 2:1 install base difference in the US, I imagine things will be different when those numbers hit next month.
