Why has the PS3 outsold the 360 by almost 1.5 million units this year?

I´m one of the people who bought a ps3 this year and I gonna tell my reasons:
When the ps3 came out I was lured by the marketing, I was one of the people who said to themselves "i gotta get this thing". This is what marketing is all about. The x360 may be a better game playing plataform and the wii remote may be really fun to use, but the marketing got me. SO when a year latter i go in a work experience trip to the US, I get my opportunity to get it.
First- It was to expensive before. If the price hasn´t came down I probably would leave empty handed or would get a x360.
Reason number 1 price cut
Second- It got the bluray, the new tech. X360 got the hddvd. The bluray wasn´t a winner yet, so I made a bet.
Reason number two - bluray
third- I had a perception(Diferent from facts, perception is how the product image gets to you) that the ps3 was the best machine.
Reason number three Brand power and strong marketing.(ps.: I live in Brasil, so the marketing here is different from waht you get abroad)
Fourth- I almost got a x360 for it´s games, cause at the time (jan 08) the ps3 hasn´t gotta many and the x360 looked really good. The thing is I wanted to get the god of war3, since I played the God of W2. this sole exclusive got me.
reason 4 sony exclusives, one got me, but MGS4 got other people, GT5 more, and so on.
So that were the reason why I got a ps3, instead of a x360, even though the white machine was cheaper. They matched Happy Squirrel reasons why the ps3 outsold the x360, so I think more people had my ideas.
I gotta confess that, given the money, I would get all three consoles, so to experience all the good games, but I had to choose only one, and the reasons are above. You make think I commited a mistake, but that´s my experience and it´s a done thing, can´t go back.
Ah many maybe thinking why I didn´t include the wii in my options. I ´m originally a pc gamer, strategy ones, so I´m used to good graphics and difficult gameplay. So you may see that a console that´s announced by everyone (except nintedo, wich is ironic) as casual and made for the nongamer, with easy gameplay and cute graphics didn´t appeal to me. The adult games, like conduit are coming now. If you like wii, great, but it´s not my thing.
