In 2009, PS3 software is doing quite well given the install base. The software sales are just more spread out.

This shows that the average PS3 owner is buying more PS3 games than the average 360 owner is buying 360 games in 2009. Does not surprise me. Lots of North Americans bought a PS3 this year. And what do you do when you buy a new console? You want to buy a lot of games for your new toy. That's exactly what I did when I got my Xbox 360 early this year. I bought a total of 18 retail 360 games (almost all of them on sale or budget price) since getting the console and that doesn't include XBLA games (I have about 10 I think, some of them were free). In 2010 I'll probably cool off on my purchases. When you get a new console, you get a little buy happy and then the realization sets in that you bought way too much too quickly and then you think, "oh crap, I gotta halt my purchases for now."
