If 30-40% of the PS3 slim buyers were existing owners then how many of the 360 buyers every month are existing customers with broken 360s. I call fanboy BS. This site untracks the PS3 and over tracks the current active install base of 360s (I.E. not broken). Cross platform software sales prove it!!!

 

 

360 = Piracy, very easy piracy (no cost to enable it)

PS3 = No Piracy

That's the reason, end of that.

Acting like the active install base of 360s isn't lower due to broken systems is just nieve. Piracy only adds to this and makes the situation for the 360 worse. I bet puplishers have estimates of these things but we'll never really know I guess.

Also, now that the PS3 is cheaper I'd expect a software increase due to both an increased install base and also the fact that new buyers will have more money to spend on software at the time of purchase (money otherwise spent on hardware).
