The attach rate of the 360 IS NOT DROPPING despite the 360 selling hundreds of thousand of consoles which would be the normal thing to happen if the same people were rebuying the console. How difficult is it to understand this simple logical fact ??
As for the ratio between the 360 and the ps3, the ratio is never linear with the consoles userbases . The xbox 360 has a more "mature" userbase in the west since it has sold far more there so it is quite normal that the ratio will be in ps3' favour and that's mopre on a game by game basis anyway. Hell the ratio in many ps2/xbox multiplatform games was much more in favour of the xbox (percentage wise) despite the HUGE difference between the userbases of the 2 consoles.

I'm not 100% sure but i think the 360 userbase has more teens and kids than the PS3 userbase, that i would say has more adults. Why?? because the 360 is cheaper, so it seems more likely that parents will get that for their kids, as they dont know or care about tech stuff. if you look at stuff like Alan Wake and Heavy Rain the sales of HR have been really good for a mature based game compared to AW which is not considered a success.
the other thing is if you look at stuff like Kung Fu Panda and Lego Batman, they've sold more than Mass Effect 1 & 2 on the 360, suggesting a less mature userbase than on the PS3. although, by no means am i trying to start a flame war, just pointing out a possible theory...

Gears of War?

Like i said its a theory, but i dont think its as clear cut as having a mature userbase on either console, the numbers dont tell use everything. GoW suggests that the mature user base is divided about evenly across both.

Um a ton of kids play gears of war so yeah..., ps3 seems to have a more mature audience though (not necessarily older) Since games like heavy rain and demon souls thrive dispite minimal advertising, compared to alan wake that go a decent amount of advertising and still hasn't even cracked a million

Yeah i was aware of that i just didnt want to start a flame war, but i think to be fair Halo Reach sold 4mil in the first week. now how many parents (mainly in the US) buy games for their kids on the week of release, its not chrismas, schools just started. so it seems more reasonable to me that a lot of mature (older) gamers are invested in the 360, although, i think there are probabily more kids on the 360 than PS3, for the reasons we said before.

Most kids can get their parents or a sibling or a older friend to buy a game for them, or just con the guy, even if their paying, and alot of parents just buy their kid the game so they will shut up, with all the advertisement the kid probably mentions it every time, so yeah it's not that hard for a kid to get their hands on a M rated game
