I still can't understand how the PS3 versions of Assassins Creed, COD4, PES08 can sell better on the PS3 then on the 360 if the userbase is half the size. Something doesn't compute.

Simple, those are the only good games on the PS3 where as the 360 is littered with numerous triple A games.

Yes, that's why all those AAA games didn't chart higher then COD4, Assassins Creed, PES08 etc... Keep going cheif, you're on a roll.

Don't forget that the numbers for others also include areas outside of Europe, the gap between 360 and PS3 in Europe alone is around 500k smaller. It is something like 3.6M to 2.2M, so the userbase is only around a 3:2 ratio. Then exclude the UK from the numbers (where the charts do show 360 versions easily outselling their PS3 counterparts) and the totals end up at 2M to 1.65M, so in mainland Europe the userbase is actually very close. It only makes perfect sense for the PS3 to outsell 360 versions in some countries.
