Will VgChartz ever have a large, meaningful Xbox fanbase?

probably this bit:

 

Global Software by Platform

 

Platform	Yearly (change)	Total
X360	137,316,716	(-11%)	731,253,117
PS3	130,870,084	(-12%)	635,424,313

which goes against the idea that 360 gamers are buying vastly more games than PS3 gamers.

Thats what I thought he meant. Thats global data, factoring in countries that PS3 is dominant in. That has no relation to vgchartz community.

My post refered to Vgchartz getting NA and UK traffic...yet there is a PS3 fan majority. The sales being on par with Halo 4 was referring to exclusives, perhaps I should have specified that.

Either way, countering one point doesnt excuse the rest of my post.

Well if we're talking about NA then the numbers would be:

USA Software by Platform

Platform	Yearly (change)	Total
X360	72,659,619	(-17%)	415,526,891
PS3	47,311,313	(-24%)	255,099,204

which is a ratio of 360:PS3 software of 1.536 which roughly coincides with the ratio between their NA install bases of 42.0/25.8 or 1.628 ratio.  So again, per gamer you are looking at a mininmal difference between the amount of software being bought by each which does not coincide with your idea that software shows 360 gamers are all playing games while PS3 gamers are now.  

After that the rest of the post is just assumptions based on next to nothing, so I think defeating that point really does excuse the rest of the post.

The main point was that NA and UK are 360 dominated areas, yet the forums that cater to them are PS3 centric. This applies to most other gaming websites which are mostly frequented by NAmericans.
