in the last part of your reply you highlighted my exact reasoning why i think that ps3 sales of assassins creed will do well alongside the 360. when only considering america yes the 360 atm is doing alot better than the ps3. but consider worldwide, especially europe the ps3 is on similar sales with the 360 if not higher and i know that assassins creed had an extensive ad campaign and a very good one at that, which will appeal to the majority of ps3 owners in europe. esp in UK, young 10-15 yo gamers that dont read many gaming sites, maybe gamefaqs for cheats, and have brought the ps3 on brand name loyalty alone, they dont really care that AC didnt receive fantastic reviews or didnt live up to the hype because it appears to be something different and are easily influenced by advertising. combined with the fact that AC is competing with alot less high quality games on the ps3 than the 360, although this is offset somewhat by huge differences in the software sales ratios i admit
when considering all ps3 to 360 game sales estimates remember that the xbox traditionally appeals to the more hardcore side of gaming, where most read more reviews and would care more about them before making an informed purchase. the playstation brand appeals to a more casual audience and to the impulse buyer that doesnt care about reviews and will buy a game simply on its cover or adverts.
