another thing that gets overlooked are all those Ps3's bought as cheap blu-ray players and linux running systems

Thats hardly a viable point now and for the last few years. Bluray players alone are much cheaper so now its safe to assume a PS3 bought for the bluray will buy at least a few games.

Considering that both the 360 and PS3 are used more as media hubs than gaming consoles and we already know that the PS3 is the most used medium for watching netflix, the point Max brings up is more than valid.

I don't think that is really a valid way to gauge installed bases as 360 owners that want to watch Netflix require a gold subscription.
