Certainly interesting, especially considering how much money Microsoft pumped into the marketing for this game.

I wonder how NA sales will be split.

... I was actually expecting the PS3 to have even more of a share in sales. Around the 60-70% mark.

Well, the ad campaigns basically made it seem like it wasn't even on PS3, so it was to be expected.

Still, I though maybe since the PS3 version has higher quality sound and resolution, but...oh well.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of UK buyers don't care that much about 1080p and 5.1 surround sound, which is why about 40% of so chose the "inferior" version.

In the US, I'm expecting a 360 lead over the PS3. Probably 65% on 360 compared to the PS3.
Everyone remembers how well Killzone 2 sold in the US compared to Europe.
Americans like to buy American products.

I'm gonna predict that it'll balance out - 54/46 in favour of Xbox in the US.

Hehe 54% of the US market is a pretty large amount compared to 54% of the UK market.
Even if your prediction is correct, the 360 will still have sold more copies than the PS3 version xD

Again, only 54% for PS3 in the UK... Microsoft did very well for themselves. It kinda makes me think even more about Versus' exclusivity, even though Square has said it countless times now lol.

40% probably didn't have a choice, some people can only afford one console or the other, sure the 'superior' version is on PS3 but not everyone has one.
