This is a nice and important article for us, simExers. It is quite nice that the article didn't include games that are released on different dates (time exclusive), since its including can cause mis-interpretation of data.
To Joe80 and oznerol, It is true that FFXIII PS3 may or may not surpass sales of FFXIII X360. The point of the article is that Microsoft's point have possibilities of becaming false for FFXIII. Witness the text taken from the article : "the Playstation 3 could very well have turned the tables". "the pendulum may very well swing the other way"
The only prediction in the article is "highly likely that Final Fantasy XIII would sell more on the Playstation 3 than the Xbox 360". You can argue whether it is highly likely or highly unlikely, but the fact remained that the article DID not claim that it is a certainty, and point out that it is possible that Microsoft's prediction are false, even for US+Europe only (including Japan will only increase PS3 market share, and decrease X360 share)
