| MoHasanie said: Is there a reason why Xbox 360 sells more software than PS3? I'm guessing its cause, 360 owners who don't have Xbox Live, complete games and then don't see any reason to continue playing the game whereas PS3 players play games for longer? Or could the rumor that many PS3 owners just use their console as a blue ray player true? |
well several things .. firstly vgc is far better at tracking sw sales in US/UK than everywhere else (and are still not really accurate in those) and coincidently those are 360's main markets
secondly the average 360 user probably has more disposable money as he is from US/UK and hence can buy more games
thirdly piracy in US/UK is relatively low (compared to sales)
we never get SW shipment data from MS either (only "attachment rates" sometimes), so it's hard to tell whether or not SW sellthrough looks in line with the other consoles
