And the X360 list is growing at a much faster rate. Your point?

And FYI, Motorstorm hit the 1m mark thanks to bundles, and nothing more..

So that takes out Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate alliance from the 360 totals. Not trying to get involved in this. Just pointing that out.

hehe, Good Job. =) Looks like he forgot about x360 bundles. =))

mrstickball, btw, from 6 to 15 is BIGGER in %, then from 31 to 42. :P PS3 mln. sellers are growing faster with still smaller userbase.)

 

It seems you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what rates really mean.  Going from 6 to 15 is an increase of 9 mln sellers per whatever time frame, and 31 to 42 is an increase of 11.  Rates of percentage increase mean dick because going from 1 to 2 would be a 100% increase but at the end of the day it still sucks by any absolute measure. 

To illustrate, your 6 to 15 represents an increase of 150%  For that percentage to remain relevant the PS3 would need to generate 22.5 additional million sellers in the same time frame to arrive at a total of 37.5.  Sorry. but it's not going to happen.  Retaining the increase of 9 mln sellers for the next year would not be bad, but it would already drop the percentage increase to 60%  Thus, even if it's sales remained constant, by your logic it would appear that they are diminishing. 

In summary: you're wrong, rates of percent increase do not matter.
