Um. You Sony guys are kind of silly.

inFamous moved .61 million on the PS3. PROTOTYPE moved .41 on the PS3 AS WELL AS .61 million on the X360. So, basically, it trounced inFamous sales wise. There’s no way around that. It just made more money. That’s what selling more MEANS.

Sorry PS3 guys, but PROTOTYPE managed to sell well on the PS3 AND the 360. Saying “but inFamous is only on one platform!” is not really an effective argument. Not breaking a million on the PS3 as an exclusive (especially with all the TV play for the title and none for PROTOTYPE) is just sad. It pretty much indicates the direction of the PS3 platform.

Note: I like inFamous as a game, but to say it’s the “winner” in sales here is just strange. It certainly won the hearts of the critics, but not the public.

Some stats for you: In the last month, Prototype received 6,586 tweets, while inFamous received 2,305 tweets. Prototype is more popular than inFamous, period.

I love how people are arguing with FACT.

It is FACT that inFAMOUS didn’t sell as well, we’re not talking about critical reception, this is on the basis of SALES.

The Sony Defence Force are so funny.

inFamous is NOT better then Prototype. The only thing inFamous has on Prototype is the graphics, but everything else such as guns, perks, powers, upgrades, gameplay belong to Prototype… and even graphically, inFamous barely beats out Prototype.. prototype is a more fun game to play because you get more of everything… inFamous is fun too, but inFamous is simply not as good as Prototype..

prototype would have sold more on the ps3 if infamous didnt exist use your heads not many people are going to buy both games.

SO! lets change things round a bit.

368,600(infFamous) 180,000(ps3 prototype)
which equals 548,600 approximately the total sold which i believe outways the 420,000 superhero sandbox games sold on the 360 this month >,<

If you don’t want to look like a fanboi, don’t write like a fanboi.

In the one area a comparison CAN be made, gamers chose inFamous – hands down.

You’re an uneducated idiot.

I personally bought inFamous and Prototype (Xbox) when they both came out. I love inFamous… it is awesome. I got Prototype hoping it would be just as fun and I got it for Xbox instead of PS3 soley to get achievements but I ended up hating Prototype, I can’t stand playing it. I personally can’t see how anyone likes Prototype but thats all personal opinion…

I bought Prototype for 360 and I only own the 360. I think inFamous looks like its fun too, but I prefer Prototype. I’m not sure if either game will have a lasting impact on the gaming industry though.

You can only hope for a sequel to whichever game you like better and for me it’s Prototype.

Good old retarded articles. 360 has no exclusive good games so far this year so everyone flocks to the latest hyped multiplatform game. I like how you conveniently didn't discuss how inFAMOUS curbstomped Prototype on PS3 even in it's second month. [Uh huh. You're not a fanboy, nosiree.

Sales doesn’t mean fan favorite. It’s hard to compare an exclusive to a multiplatform game.

It would suck to only be able to play Prototype. Real gamers have both a PS3 and 360.
This is just typical xbot tripe.

[Er, um, didn't Jordan Lund - the author - just say he owns BOTH a PS3 and 360, and chose to buy inFamous over Prototype?

So wait, Prototype trounces inFamous when “Metacritic has the PS3 exclusive inFamous scoring a respectable 84/100, while Prototype scored slightly less, 80 on the PS3, 79 on the PC, and 78 on the Xbox 360″. Lol, I’m disappointed that sales decide which game trounces which game now days.

This is so stupid and you have to be an imbecile to try and compare sold units of this two games. But if you insist, Infamous won clear, because was the game of choice if you had the option.
