so wait does that means the ps3 sells more software per console than the other two consoles? i dont know if i understand right i am dumb for these things.

That data is a few months old, but let's see what it says.

If we divide the Total Weeks of Ownership by the amount of software sold, then we should get the average number of weeks between new game purchases.  Note that the data is for the Americas only.

For the Wii:

TWO= 726,615,868
SW= 96,404,972

Number of weeks between software purchases= 7.54

 

For the PS3:

TWO= 306,414,307
SW= 42,770,884

Number of weeks between software purchases= 7.16

 

For the 360:

TWO= 975,218,977
SW= 126,016,630

Number of weeks between software purchases= 7.74

Conclusion:

In the Americas, through November of 2008, PS3 owners bought a new game about every 7 weeks on average.  Wii owners bought a new game about every 7 and a half weeks on average.  360 owners bought a new game about every 8 weeks on average.

That is very close.  That tells me that all three consoles are selling about the same amount of software after adjusting for differences in time of ownership and install base.

 

 

mmm i see so is not a big diference after all but right now it might be diferent.
