Three main reasons:

1. 360 has a much bigger userbase

2. It's a shooter which are generally more popular on the 360

3. It's much bigger in the USA than Europe, which plays against PS3's userbase


1.  The userbase is not different by 3:1

2.  This is a false.  There are more core gamers on 360 than PS3 and this is why it sold better.  It is an RPG/FPS not just a FPS so the appeal is to core gamers.  If you look at most core gamer games, they typically sell much better on 360.  The only difference is games that are associated to the PS brand...  Tekken, Street Fighter IV, Devil May Cry, etc. are associated with PS brand.  Games like Dragon Age Origins, Prototype, Brutal Legend, etc.  are not shooters but appeal to core gamers more and sold way better on 360.

3.  It is not much different on 360 throughout the world.  The percentage of software sales on 360 tend to be disproportionately higher no matter where you look...
