Halo is a huge franchise.
PS3 has a smaller install base
Microsoft advertises better
Some PS3s are just used as Blu-ray players.

Many Xbox360 owners pirate their games. - I think this can offset the above bolded reason no?

 

Possibly, but it does boggle the mind that when big games like MW2 are pirated over a million times on the 360 version alone, just how much more sales 360 games would have without piracy.  It'd be ridiculous.  Same with Wii, DS, and PSP for that matter.

What we need to know is out of this 1 million person, how many would have actually purchase the game. This number can be fairly low in comparison to the pirated amount. Even more so with this game since it is recognize for his online. Your example would be more appropriate for a short single player game like Alan Wake, who may be greatly affected by piracy.
