Wrong. 

360 sales are way more skewed towards NA and UK which already buy more games per console than other regions where PS3 sells considerably better than 360.

PS3 tie ratio in USA: 11.2

360 tie ratio in USA: 10.7

PS3 actually has a better tie ratio there, but because of the much larger 360 userbase there the average WW tie ratio is higher on 360.

So people in Japan bought PS3 for Blu-Ray then?

Uh...no? They just buy less games per console than people in USA

That was a joke, but text doesn't portray jokes well.

I'm sure a noticable amount of people bought PS3 for Blu-Ray, but it's probably not statistically different to the people who bought a 2nd 360 to replace the one they broke.

On second thought, the number of people who bought PS3 for Blu-Ray is probably a lot less then the number of replacement 360's. Maybe PS3 has a higher tie ratio in North America because it has a larger number of console owners (ontop of your reason of 360 having more consoles sold in USA).
