PS3 has a higher attach rate than Xbox 360?

[MikeB]

This is in agreement with my comments here in the past, on that PS3 and 360 attach rates aren't that different overall despite the propaganda.

I think PS3 software overall sells a little better from the point of view: amount of software sold per user per month of ownership. Which is a much fairer perspective than anything Microsoft has been spouting.

For example if one platform has 8 million users and the other 16 million, of course it should be expected that the platform would sell twice as much software. Of course if that platform was also available on the market twice as long, well more than twice as much software should be expected to have been sold (about triple and there should be a higher attah ratio per user, despite software selling equally well for both platform on a per user basis).

It's IMO sad North America / United States is so often the focus of PR (the 360 is stronger here than for the rest of the world combined and this is not the case with regard to the PS3). I would love to see more focus on EU/Europe, it's at least as big a gaming market than the US/North America (and certainly a bigger market in terms of revenue).
