Even though I don't know any other metagames.
The reason 360 games consistently sell better than PS3 games that are exactly the same is simple: achievements. This fact is not lost on gamers, retailers, or game developers. There was even a new metagame created with the sole purpose of finding achievements (a self-aware game about games). Instead of having the goals of the game rewarded with achievements, the achievements are the goal, unashamedly. You can find the game here, and there's hints if you have problems finding all the achievements. And you know you want to find them all... they're achievements. They're important...
...for some reason. Nobody's figured out why yet but you gotta catch 'em all! It's maddening.
Also, check out all the pop culture references, from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to Frank Miller's 300 to the Konami code... do you get all the in-jokes? If you do you can be in my in-crowd - my ultra-geeky in-crowd of lonely dudes that have never been in-girls.
