100 million is still big gap

 360 had a year head start in America in Japan and a year and a half in Europe. Considering they both sold ~150m software last year, I'd say the difference is almost all because of the headstart.

It's simple, all you have to do is take the software figure for both and divide them by how many consoles they have sold.

 

360: 600,821,693/64,165,235 = 9.364

PS3: 509,632,679/60,959,159 = 8.360

...and realize 360 has been more years on the market and therefore 360 buyers have had a longer time to buy software. The biggest factor is definitely the 16 month headstart in Europe, PS3's strongest region.

It doesn't matter, no excuses (especially since they've both been out for so long). The fact is those are the tie ratios. Besides if you really want to get into this the 360 only sold about 27 million whilst the PS3 wasn't on the market like Seece said.

You can make any excuse that you want to support your argument but the fact is console for console the 360 has sold more software.
