The Joker behind a boost in PS3 Arkham Asylum pre-orders?
April 27th, 2009 Posted in Analyst, Business, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 by Jeff Baker

As our friends over at ThatVideoGameBlog have noticed, the Playstation 3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum has left the Xbox 360 version in its dust in terms of pre-order numbers. Currently, the PS3 version claims an Amazon ranking of #176 while the Xbox 360 version sits at #478. But, why? Do PS3 owners really like Batman that much more than Xbox 360?
Probably not, it’s more likely that the boost in pre-orders has to do with the recent findings of The Joker being exclusive to the PS3 version of Batman: Arkham Asylum. I don’t know about you guys, but if I had to choose I’d take the version with The Joker over the version without.
