Fallout 3 X360: IGN 9.6/10
Fallout 3 X360: IGN 9.6/10
IGN - October 27, 2008

It's rare that a game can hit the mark in so many different and often conflicting areas. Fallout 3 offers freedom without sacrificing a focused story. It delivers fantastic combat without forgoing a deep role-playing system. It's a fantastic game with incredible atmosphere that offers fun in so many different ways that you're almost sure to get hooked. This is one of the best games you'll play this year.

Since Oblivion is a high sales # game, VGC # might be not too far off (probably margin of error is less than 50%, it might even be something like 20% margin of error). I don't have Oblivion LTD figure, but I will try to find it for you (If I can, I will also provide URL if possible).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Does anyone have a reliable number on just how many copies the 360 version of Oblivion sold, including the Game of the Year version? I can only find Vgchartz numbers. I think it's pretty relevant to how Fallout 3 will sell.
Vgchartz said Oblivion sold 2.57 million copies on the 360, I don't know how accurate that is, though.[ Newbie ] [ Level 12 ] [ Rank: 910 ]bids

If I am a conspiracy theorist, I would say that someone from Sony contacted IGN :)
BTW, when I go to neocrisis.com URL you quoted, I got this :

IGN seems to have changed their review of the PS3....
The talk about friend logging in causing the game to slow down and screen bluring has been removed from the review AND the PS3 owners getting the shaft remark about trophies is gone too.
You can see the before and after here:

forgot to bold the different part in the second one:
"I had the game crash a couple times. I, and other editors at IGN, have also experienced an annoying number of bugs on the PS3 version that have prevented the game from progressing or have broken the world. In all of these cases, reloading the game has been enough to fix the errors and nothing was frustrating or detrimental enough to give me thought of not recommending the game. However, there is one major issue with the PS3 version that can't be fixed with a reset. Every time anybody on your friends list signs on or sends you a message (or any time you receive any network notification), the game freezes and the screen blurs for a few seconds. If you have a lot of friends signing on and off all day, this will completely ruin the game. The only way to circumvent this is to either play offline or turn off notifications entirely."[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 148 ]bids

i see what you did there posting reviews for both platform to show that there is a review score discrepancy. but i feel like it might have been better to just post it as one article and have a follow-up comment with further details.
i've been comparing the review text. most of it is copy paste (typical for ign reviews). here are the differences:
in the PS3 review, page3:
"Perhaps the level cap will be lifted when downloadable content releases for Fallout, at least some of which is exclusive to the PC and Xbox 360 versions (sorry PS3 owners, you get the shaft here…and the game is launching without trophy support),"
in the PS3 review, page5:
"I had the game crash a couple times. I, and other editors at IGN, have also experienced an annoying number of bugs on the PS3 version that have prevented the game from progressing or have broken the world. In all of these cases, reloading the game has been enough to fix the errors and nothing was frustrating or detrimental enough to give me thought of not recommending the game.

IGN has now REINSTATED the ORIGINAL less flattering review claiming the removal was a copywriting error.
