Oyvoyvoyv, you only argued points that I already mentioned. What you were using for your attach rate, was very off, though. That is all I was trying to show. The correct attach rate when comparing the first 1-2 years of either console shows:
PS3: 5.3
X360: 6.6

And those are the official estimates. I'd assume they are much more reliable and accurate than your briefly thought out, flawed concept numbers you had.

 

 May I have a link? Would be interesting to see if VGChartz was really undertracking X360's first 2 year of software by 19M. I doubt you are correct, but still, please provide a link to your claims.

From the article:
"If you think raw software sales trump all, Microsoft has around 126 million total in the U.S. versus 96 million for the Wii so far this year."

So your sales numbers for this year alone are way off.

There ya go.  Now good day.

 

Okay, first - I'm using VGChartz numbers (seemed like you didn't understand).

Other than that. You are using US only, which is stupid. We know X360 has a higher AR in Americas.

Also, the 126M in software sales are wrong. You see, what he did, is take the WW X360 sales, multiply by 6.6, and claim they were U.S alone. So the number is higher than the WW sales actually are. Either that, or he is talking about Lifetime to date in the U.S Microsoft has reported about 140M shipped through Q2 08 (I believe). So he is simply mistating that, and he is far less credible than VGChartz data.

As for the graph, it is U.S only. So check your data before claiming mine is way off.
