If there is any indication that Assassin’s Creed would have made a great exclusive for the PlayStation 3, it is the latest numbers that points in this direction.

For the week ending November 18, the PlayStation 3 version of Assassin’s Creed took hold of the number one position in Spain and the number four spot in Germany in overall game sales, beating the Xbox 360 version. Furthermore, Call of Duty 4 for the PlayStation 3 rounded out in the top 10 best selling games in both Germany and Spain while the Xbox 360 version was not even on the charts.

This is capital for Sony as it proves that the PlayStation 3 brand is strong enough to handle big name games. Many companies would believe that making a title a PS3 exclusive would not generate profit, simply because the machine has sold fewer units than the Xbox 360 to date.

However, as the numbers show, both big named games like Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty 4 on the PS3 both sold better than the Xbox 360 version in various portions of the globe.

The top 10 sales in Germany and Spain is as follows:
