Impossible to know.

We have no idea how many Slims of the PS3 or 360 have been bought by current console owners.

We have no idea how many people are MULTIPLE console owners. Someone could have a PS3 upstairs and a PS3 downstairs.

We have no idea how many consoles have failed... Or how many people have had to rebuy instead of getting repairs.

 

I would actually say the 360 has a greater install base. Simply because the Attach Ratio for it is great.

This

The attach rate for the 360 is higher on average than the PS3.

The only explanations are.

1. More Xbox consoles are actively being gamed with therefore creating a bigger potential consumer base (probable)

2. All xbox owners have more disposable income than PS3 owners (unlikely)

3. Xbox owners are bigger gaming enthusiasts then PS3 owners and budget more of their income towards game purchasers (unlikely)

4. Microsofts' bottomless pit of money being targeted towards saturation advertising is having an effect. (unlikely)

Um 3 and 4 seem likely to me, well besides the budgeting 360 owners are spontaneous buyers where ps3 owners are more likely to budget their cash and watch what they buy and 4 seems very likely especially with the level of exaggeration multiplats are better on 360 has reached and you didn't mention that alot of people might not use their ps3 primarily for gaming
