Indeed the Ps3's AR is large. The below method is, however, a bit... shoggy (I know! It's not even a word! Bloody...!)

Software in 08 vs current userbase (underlined is why it's shoggy)

Wii - 5.17M HW - 20.1M SW = 3.88 games pr console (in 08, and also a bit higher in reality)

Ps3 - 1.87M HW - 10.4M SW = 5.56 games pr console

X360 - 3.25M HW - 14.9M SW = 4.58 games pr console.

 

So that's a fair amount above the other consoles.

I'm glad you call those ratios shoggy yourself, because it really doesn't make sense to devide the total sales in 2008 by the life to date sales at the end of 2008. Also I'm not that happy about using vgchartz hardware sales with charttrack software sales, but I guess you can't really do it any other way without access to charttrack data.
