Some observations
Take from GAF

360 LTD = 1.77x PS3 LTD

360 Nov Software Revenue Share = 1.94x PS3.

Wii LTD = 2.39x PS3 LTD

Wii Nov Software Revenue Share = 1.53x PS3

"Given that comparison, I don't where all the hullabaloo over PS3 software comes from. Whatever about unit sales, PS3 owners certainly spent almost as much as their 360 counterparts, and significantly more than their Wii brethern. If 360 software is considered strong per user, you can't really consider PS3's 'weak' for this month."

Easy to calculate.

360
- Total software sales for Nov 2009 was $1.406B.
- Xbox 360 accounted for 37% of software revenue, equaling $520M dollars.
- Gamasutra estimates that the 4.2M copies of MW2 brought in ~$260M (average price of $62)
- MW2 accounted for 50% of 360 software sales

PS3
- Total software sales for Nov 2009 was $1.406B.
- PS3 accounted for 19% of software revenue, equaling $267M dollars.
- MW2 sold 1.87M copies on PS3. Using the 360 version's average price of $62, you get a revenue of $116M for MW2 (PS3)
- MW2 accounted for ~43% of PS3 software sales
