Well heres a story that is sure to get your juices flowing. A new study from analysts has concluded that gamers will favor the PS3 version over the Xbox 360 version of upcoming shooter Modern Warfare 2.
That’s according to this MCV report, who have quoted a new study from analyst firm OTX. Apparently, Modern Warfare 2 isn’t the only multiplatform game which the PS3 version is coming out on top, as the report also reveals that gamers are also favoring the PS3 version of Assassin’s Creed II.
This is quite interesting as we can recall that after the first Modern Warfare came out, it was the Xbox 360 version that emerged on top in sales, so if the report is true, it is definitely a surprising turnaround.

Due to M$ and $ony’s recent pricing structures, the PS3 is coming out on top for me as best value for money, after long favouring the 360 but this has to be complete bull. Most people will be buying MW2 because of the online play and for Live.
I don’t know where these analysts get their figures from, it can only be $ony.
I can smell a cow, no wait it is BS that I smell.
Who ever wrote this artical should be fired. 1st of all their arent enough people who own a ps3 2 even compete with the sale the 360 version will bring. Next according to pre-order numbers the 360 is doing MUCH better than the PS3. Plz fire this writer and hire someone who know something about the gaming industry. Just 1 last thing this is 1st and foremost and multiplayer game, and XBOX LIVE runs circles around the horrible lag and terrible players that fill up ps3 servers.
Wowwww what kind of dumm ****** ***** wrote this. who would want to play mw2 on psn rather the xbl live. Even though they already pireted the xbox version of the game the 360 version is going to out sell the ps3 version by large numbers is common sense seriously they should highly consider firing the ***** idiot that wrote this bull. btw im not a ms fan boy i own both and i have both version of cod4 i never even finished the campain on the ps3 i realy couldent get into it my ps3 is only good for exclusive games wile my xbox360 takes cares of exclusive and multi platform games.
yea… your not a fanboy lol…
Haha, you’re such a clown!
Go play Halo you scrub.
Hang on “gamer” and console noobs in the same sentance.
Real Gamers are PC users not Xboxed auto aim kids.
PC gaming is for grandparents and fat slob WoW players.
Get with the times gramps.
PC gaming is legit man.
I have a lot of respect for PC gamers.
Not specifically ones playing WOW.
I bet you’re a fat slob Blaise.
Yep, this article is Bogus. I seen some preorder number estimates and the 360’s are about double what ps3 has. I have both consoles as well and the competition and quality of players seem to be better on XBL, I take more pride my posistive KD ratio in CoD4 on the 360 than I do for the ps3 version. CoD is mainly bought for online play, I’d say about 70 to 85 percent of the people buy it only for online multiplayer; I am. I think in the end the 360 will have more purchases than ps3 version. This is evident by the number of increasing ps3’s sold since the price drop but the software only had 2 games in the top 10 in sales with about half million games sold total, according to NPD figures for september. The 360 had 5 spots in that same top 10, and 4 of the top 5. So, yea…I think this article is BS. Makes you think that the fine folks at OTX are Sony fanboys.
Ok these analysts are definitely Sony fanboys but all of your replying are obviously MS fanboys, PSN isn’t bad, there is relatively no lag and the players are more adult than the kiddies screaming on XBL. To the obvious fanboy that has “both consoles” why would you buy the same game for both consoles? That just gave away your lie. 360 dominates PS3 install base in NA and that’s where most of the MW2 sales will be made. 2:1 install base in NA equates to a roughly 2:1 win for the 360 simple as that. JAP won’t factor in this equation and EU install bases are roughly the same.
If you are referring to me, I have them on both systems becuase at the time we only had 1 xbox 360 in the house and I wanted a bluray player and my own game system, so I bought a ps3 and Cod 4 was free with purchase. My son didn’t like the ps3 controller but he like CoD 4, hence is why we bought CoD 4 for 360. THATS why I have it on both!!! I liked XBL better than PSN so I bought my own 360. We have 2 360s and 1 ps3(40gb) that collects dust. XBL gtag= Karnage XL, PSN ID= Justafett. Look me up if you want.
if ur ps3 is collecting dust then send it to me dumbass. PLus 360 which i have is hella expensive. the dam wii has wifi come on now.. And xbox live is the same ****. the only tight **** is cross game chat.
Well, I do watch blurays on my ps3. And as far as wifi goes, that doesn’t matter to me, wired connection is always better than wireless and I dont use it. My ps3 has a wired connection and it has built in wifi. And XBL is not the same as PSN. That functionality is better on XBL and smother, its laid better. The damn PSN in store has to load up on your screen, its not instant. Plus, with XBL you can see exactly what your friends are doing. It doesnt just say your friends ID and “Call of Duty 4″ like PSN does. With XBL it says “playing Call of Duty 4: team death match on Vacant” It even lets you know if they are joinable or not. You dont see that on PSN. You can just send blind invites and pester your friends. lol. Like I said XBL functionality is alot better.
The only reason you don’t hear the “kiddies screaming” on PSN is because only %10 of players ACTUALLY USE HEADSETS.
Get into a REAL online community and maybe you’ll understand.
I will own this game for 360 and rent it for PS3 (yes, I also own both). I’ll rent it on PS3 just to play with the 1/100th of my online gaming friends who were stupid enough to get a PS3 instead of an XBox.
The REAL online community is PC its what started Multiplayer and it will always hold the multiplayer title if you look at numbers of specs (if you can understand them) every console has always been behind PC’s and soon Consoles will be nothing its a simplified PC and its running out of simplifications
haha ohh yee ps3 babe thtats what im talkin about made my day happy cum on sony
u guys are retarded psn is pretty much as good as live now were even getting crosschat u stupid xbox fanboys.yah thats not all assasins creed 2 has more preorders for ps3 to, so owned and dont blame the guy who wrote it maybe theres another side of the story so shutup.ps3 has been proven a better console, game developers have said so,they no it,u no it,i no it and i own both consoles,and everybody else knows it.
AND U KNOW IT PS3 RULES,END OF THE RUBBISH 360 HAD ITS RUN NOW THE PS3 IS A ROUND THE SAME PRICE, ALL U 360 OWNERS WATCH OUT PS3 IS CATCHING UP & WILL OVER TAKE FAST!!!!
HAHA LONG LIVE THE PS3!!!
As of right now, the 360 is in the lead in MW2. In the long run(maybe next year to 2011) the PS3 will be dominant of the 360. PS3s are selling fast, and 360 does not have a huge lead. It just shows you that PS3s are in high demand more than 360, and the only thing that was holding it down was the price tag. The only thing we need is God of War III and it will take the lead(Americans love God of War). PS3s are pretty much over 360 everywhere except North America. Almost in lead again in Europe. My prediction is that the sales will eventually even out. COD4 was basically even with the consoles. 360 had little over a million lead over the PS3 version, and that was 2007-2008.
