Your numbers don't prove anything, bro. I have some real numbers for you, using vgchartz since you were using that site (so do I).

Numbers of consoles sold worldwide:
360- 52 million
PS3- 48 million

Number of copies of BOs sold worldwide:
360 - 11 million
PS3 - 9 million


Now, some quick math.

52 mil / 11 mil = 1 copy of BOs sold for every 4.72 360 consoles in existence
48 mil/ 9 mil = 1 copy of BOs sold for every 5.33 PS3 consoles in existence

4.72 vs 5.33...you see how those numbers are real close? Here's a hint for you...the game sells better on the 360 BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE PLAYING THE 360. It's not because one version is better than the other in terms of gameplay, it's simple math.

Still don't believe me? You seem like a real knowledgable gamer so I'm sure you're familiar w/ metacritic.com, right? If not, it's generally known as one of the better sites around for game ratings because it shows both critics AND user ratings.

http://www.metacritic.com/search/all/black+ops/results

Anyway, here are the ratings for both versions of the game:

Critics:
360 - 87/100 (based on 89 gaming critics)
PS3 - 88/100 ( based on 58 critics)

Users:
360 - 6.2/10 (based on 575 users)
PS3 - 5.8/10 (based on 362 users)

Whoa, WTF is going on here?! The PS3 version of this game is a total POS...why are the critics scores and the users scores for the game almost identical?! If it's so awesome on the 360 and so bad on the PS3, why are the numbers so close? My mind has been blown.



All I can say is I hope some of you guys know a helluva lot more about your Camaros than you do about games.

You have some very valid points ill give you that. I hope your gaming skills in BO are as good as your researching skills if not maybe that is why you dont enjoy it as much as the others.
