PS3 sold more software in the last fiscal year and is still doing. As example, if you check this week numbers, PS3 sold more software. Its been like that for a while now. So software actually could support PS3 having a higher install base. But, obvioulsy, thats not the only possible conclusion.
"The PlayStation 3 enjoyed 115.6 million software sales in the Sony’s 2009-fiscal year (runs from May 1st 2009 to April 30th 2010), up from 2008’s 103.7 million units. Surprisingly, despite a lower hardware installed base, this performance was better than that of the Xbox 360, which achieved 103.1 million software sales."
