Piracy is the real reason why core games on Wii don't sell as well?

The Xbox 360 was released 18 months ahead of the PS3, was leading the PS3 for the vast majority of the time and has around equal software sales? That doesn't make sense, especially when considering the sales curves: http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii®1=------&cons2=PS3®2=Europe&cons3=X360®3=Europe&start=39173&end=39810&weekly=1

The hardware sales are almost equal, the games are similar, and the target audience is similar, so why wouldn't the software sales be similar?  I also discounted the first year of software sales for the 360 to account for the head start.  I am assuming that any difference would be due to piracy.

And what is your chart trying to show?  You are showing Europe when I was talking about the Others region, and you are looking at one year, when I was looking at lifetime sales.

Because the most important metric is average time of ownership. Look at the current weekly software sales between Xbox 360 and PS3 in Others and look at the average age of ownership for both consoles which can be seen from the graph I showed to have a completely different value.

@Slimebeast, sorry I won't due to moderation concerns.
