NPD numbers: 360 is their best bet.

Oh, my... Yes, let's all take the worst territory the PS3 is doing in (N.A.) and preach this rhetorical doom and gloom to the entire world of software sales. And added to that with being released a year later than the 360, doubling as a quality Blu-ray player, and being the most expensive console on the market; a 2:1 ratio 360:PS3 software sold according to this site is good worldwide however you see it with the PS3 about 75% of the 360's marketshare. That's the big picture with 3rd party developers still heavly supporting the PS3.

 

No, a 4:3 ratio 360:PS3 would be good because it would mean parity.  The games cost the same so ceteris paribus they should sell proportionally the same. 

You're missing my point.  3:4 comparison software sales would be idea.  But the fact of the matter is that when given the big picture, PS3 software sales are not as doom and gloom as the OP made it out to be.  PS3 software to hardware ratio is 5:1 with an almost 17 million userbase.  That's good.  Of course it's not as good as the 7:1 or some would say 8:1 ratio 360 software has, but so far it appears that it is at least enough for 3rd party developers to keep supporting the PS3.  That's the point when given the big picture, not a sample from just one territory.
