it possibly has a higher % due to launching earlier

I don't see how an earlier launch means high attach ratio. Any advantage in software sales should be countered by hardware sales. Even if that were the case though, the 360's attach ratio has still been higher than the PS3's in recent years too (when the PS3 outsold the 360, but sold less software)

launching early as the 1st HD console, many gamers would have bought the "next big thing" which was the 360 i personally know many people who ony game on 360 even though they favoured ps2 previous gen, essentially microsoft gained a good chunk % of core gamers due to this

I'm not sure how valid that actually is, especially since many console launched earlier yet did not immediately snag a large portion of core gamers. In any case, that would simply explain why the 360 has more core gamers; that wouldn't negate it true.
