Aren't there a bunch of games on demand and also aren't the Arcade titles doing particularly well on the 360? I would suggest that these would account for some of the difference. If even 5% of sales were diverted to these two areas it would make quite a significant difference with the relative userbase levels so close. |
Sure, the xbl games are probably doing a lot better than the PSN given the 360's consumer base in America of all countries, but keep in mind that the advantage that the 360 has had in weekly software is one that is disappearing, it doesn't have that many advantages over the PS3 left these days.

Xbox 360 owners have the opportunity to buy 30+ titles online instead of going to the shops and the number one accessory for 2009 were Xbox Live points cards. I think its significant. So whilst they may still be buying software how they buy it may have changed. Even if its not tracked here sales are being made.

X360 owners also have a chance to torrent on demand as they wish so there goes a few milions of userbase adventage.

bit torrents- So people are going to buy the 360 because they can torrent mp3's ?? sorry but that is a pretty poor reason, people aren't going to care about music on their gaming station
30 + titles of games online - big deal, both the 360 and PS3 are pushing more and more titles online because it will cut out the middleman like the distributors and retail. Simply, this is just an extensiond of the 360's advantage with its XBL, which as i've mentioned is its last advantage left.
