@feelmyring, I would like to know the same thing because according to NPD numbers, HL2: The Orange Box only sold 238,400 copies in its release month and then went onto November to be not ranked (therefore meaning it had to sell less than 376,843 copies that Assassin's Creed at number 10 sold). Even if it sold 1 copy less than the the last ranked game in November, the game would only be at 615,242 copies for Xbox 360 - much less than Just_Ben's 1.5 million number.
If you take a look at recent multi-platform games such as Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, and even from a few months ago, Madden NFL 08, the PS3 version of each game has sold less than half of the amount that 360 version sold. Also, if you look at the case of Call of Duty 4, the 360 version sold more than 3 times the amount of the PS3 version and that was without the PS3 version having techinical issues as in the case of HL2: The Orange Box. If the 360 version of HL2: The Orange Box sold 238,400 copies, then I would expect no more than half of that amount to be sold on the PS3 (119,200). I also believe that being released only 14 days from Christmas day makes this title less likely to have a boost from holiday shopping and if it follows the pattern of Call of Duty 4 (which did have the holiday boost more so), the sales of this title could be an even lesser percentage of its 360 counterpart.
