Well to be fair, ps3 users also buying games.
Just some facts:

By the end of november there were about:
Total: 11,8 mln. - 100%
9,1 mln. x360. - 77%.
2,7 mln. ps3. - 23%.

Now CoD4 sales:
Total: 2,014 mln.- 100%
Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360) -- 1,570,000 - 78%.
Call of Duty 4 (PlayStation 3) -- 444,000 - 22%.

Bow AC sales:
Total: 1,357 mln. - 100%
Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) -- 980,000 - 72%.
Assassin's Creed (PlayStation 3) -- 377,000 - 28%.

So.. You are WRONG, if you think, that ps3 owners don`t buy games.

It would be around:
117k*3 = 350k.
66k*3 = 200k.
IF there would be 9 mln. ps3 sold in usa.
Mass effect just did 470k. Only 120k more, then Uncharted could theoretically. Practically with 9 mln. Uncharted good sell even more.

Ouch, logic failure alert. That's pretty much how it's always going to work man... cause the more systems you sell, the more diverse your fanbase gets and the more diverse their tastes get. Therefore the amount of games sold starts to tail off. Having double consoles isn't going to mean double sales for one game. You need to compare total amount of software sold for that. PS3 owners just happen to be the real casual owners currently. Probably because if your dropping 400-500 dollars into a system instead you have less money to buy games with. A lot of PS3 owners who arn't rich probably are still recouping from their initial investment. While a lot of people who have 360's bought them longer ago, and therefore have more disposible income, plus its cheaper.
