Oh and possibly be close to the Wii.

Wii 81,615,431 (-54%) 512,667,413 (6.93)
PS3 63,052,539 (-31%) 265,981,604 (7.08)
X360 59,686,073 (-47%) 375,111,197 (8.71)

As you can see there isn't much in it. The high PS3 software sales relative are probably due to the largeish exclusives released towards the start of the year. Soon the Xbox 360 will retake the software lead for the year. It may actually keep the lead for the remainder of the year given the fact that we're moving into Christmas and the Xbox 360 has traditionally done better in the American market which has traditionally been more Q4 centric than the other two major regions, Japan and Europe.

 

Your data is not really anything new or surprising considering the attachment rate for 360's has always been much higher then the PS3... the links I pasted below show this.

Not including Halo Reach sales yet, according to VGchartz own data.. Here's the standing on TOTAL Software sold on each unit.. the 360 is far ahead of the PS3 in game sales by nearly 127 MILLION games sold !

*Xbox 360-library= 642 titles .... total number of games sold worldwide= 393.6 million units 

*PS3---------library= 484 titles .... total number of games sold worldwide= 266.9 million units
