mikeb only does the world of mikeb and the world of mikeb and his love of shipped to retailer figures.
No, I just try to look at things a bit more from a scientific perspective, due to my background education.
and ps3 boxes being bigger is a crucial factor
No, but I think it's a factor with regard to the amount of units on the shelves. Unless of course the PS3 has much more shelf space at retail than the 360 has, I don't know if that's true, but that's not the case around here (so I tend to doubt this). So our local Media Markt always has more 360s in stock as the dedicated shelf space is about equal (but the console re-supply goes faster for the PS3).
I just point this out to counter claims that there's a million more PS3s left on the shelves than 360s. Something you often see 360 fanboys claim when talking about the amount of units retailers worldwide bought from Microsoft and Sony.
