That said FF13 didn't sell over 6 million copies because it was on 360/ps3, it was because its a final fantasy game. The terrible crystal chronicles games that got released sold well too, better then Nier, Resonance of Fate, or Lost Odyssey.
This is one of those situations falls completely on consumers. The games have been advertised maybe not with TV spots, but in stores. Gamestop had exclusivity, so they told everyone about it. Its just like Madworld, or house of the Dead, or No more Heroes all titles that people claimed would sell more on 360 and PS3 but Anarchy Reigns didn't even break 100,000 in Japan. Overkill, the resident evil compilation and NMH came and went also, non of their sales set the world on fire, actually none of their sales matched the Wii versions.
We can go on about "being sure" this or "people I know" that, but no wii port has outsold its wii original. Most RPGs on 360 and PS3 that are new IPs do the same amount as most RPGs on Wii that are new IPs.

In terms of likeness, right now every territory is the same; High numbers on shooters, low numbers on RPGs from Japan, and good numbers on RPGs from the US/Europe. In terms of specifics I can tell you why when it comes to the US and Japan but not Europe.
To be honest, with how badly the industry is messed up and how disorganized everything is its hard to tell. Theres even a certain degree of racism that skews all the numbers. Telling who buys which games and for what reason, well its just a mess.
Seriously OL likes QT? Why? It makes Blacksite: Area 51 look like Battlefield 3.

Doesn't make him or me or anyone else more right what appeals most to a certain region.
