Did it ever occur to you that XBox had a one year headstart in NA and 15 months (2 holiday periods) in Europe? That is lots of games bought while zero PS3 games were bought. Your table simply shows that more XBoxes are out in the wild for a longer time than PS3s.
Tie ratio in Japan: I have seen several estimates on how many of the early PS3 were bought for Blu-Ray only and the estimates varied from 30% to 70%. Still PS3 "sells more" than XBox because absolute numbers count, not some irrelevant "tie number".
Also who cares about "tie rate?" Certainly not game manufacturers. If you believe the revenue numbers here, you'll see both consoles sell the same amount of sofware (actually PS3 is alittle ahead of XBox).
