Then take a more recent example like Resident Evil 5, of course according to VGChartz figures the PS3 outsold the 360 version 1.69 million vs 1.53 million globally so far. Of course Japan is an important factor here, so let's concentrate on "American" figures only.
According to VGChartz the 360 has an install base advantage of just over 2:1 vs the PS3. According to VGChartz on the 4th of April 872 thousand RE5 copies were sold on the 360 in "America" and 541 thousand copies on the PS3.
That's far from a 2 to 1 ratio, rather a 1.6 to 1 ratio.
