7.54 million - that is the amount of lead the 360 got just from lego indiana, kung fu panda, and marvel: ultimate alliance...3 games that are bundeled into 360s. 

41.1% - the percent of the difference between the 360 and the ps3 in terms of software due to the games the are bundeled into 360 console sales but not bundeled into ps3s.

seriously?!?! do you think these numbers are that great when 3 of the top 5 360 games are heavily bundeled and the 360 has an extra year worth of sales (which makes a huge difference on really old games like CoD 3).

 

Moot point... even if we took out those numbers (31.12 million - 7.54 million = 23.58 m), the 360 number ends up being almost double the PS3 number and the attach rate is 0.77(360) vs. 0.53(PS3).


Your argument doesn't prove anything, it still shows Activision titles struggling on the PS3.

um, .77 isn't almost double .53 lol...

The way I see it, 1.01 vs .56 and .77 vs .53 tell two different stories. Sure xbox 360 still > ps3 but the difference has been greatly reduced, especially when adding in the fact that the ps3 is a younger console (i.e. call of duty 3 was released around the launch of the ps3 and so will obviously have much higher sales on the 360).

Anyway, with the exception of a few games...that is one atrocious list of games. Maybe if the reduced the quantity and increased the quality of their games I'd actually care.

 

no.. 23.58 million is almost double 12.76 million

The attachement rate is directly related to the userbase, so it doesn't matter if the PS3 userbase is smaller. (Activision mentioned attachement rate as their complaint)

For every 100 PS3's, Activision sells 56 games
For every 100 360's, Activision sells 77 games (that's not counting bundle games, CoD 2, GH2, etc)

That's 69% more copies on one console

 

Perhaps you should look at recent sale trend rather than ineffecient data from when the PS3 was first launched? Pick any none GT/CD game recently release for both the 360 and PS3 from Activision, now compare their sale figure... now tell me if its substantially more profitable to support the 360 exclusively in today's market?
