@ Chrizum

Are you a preteen?

Nice, I don't know what's sadder, the fact that you got away with this, or the fact that if Chrizum is a preteen, he bested you. 

Anywho, I think you forget two facts that are rather important...1 one year head start is irrelevant, and software sales =/= attach rates. 

That's not true.

I'm not siding with MikeB here, but a headstart in software sales does mean a higher attach ratio, it has to do because otherwise the ratios wouldn't increase over time.

no...software sales are not console attach rates. They are more of an indication.

I highlighted the yellow part, that was what I was talking about.... the 1 year headstart does mean a higher attach ratio.

it's true the 1 year head start helps, but lets be honest we're talking about only a 6 million headstart on a system that has sold 40 million now.  All that means is an extra 6 million people had the console for an extra 1 year or less depending on when they bought it, that's the advantage of the head start.  It should be taken into consideration but it's clearly not enough to overtake the 360's advantage yet and it becomes less significant of a factor as time goes on.
