The 360 has a 1 million lead on the PS3 in the UK.

Despite this there are more PS3 titles charting in the top 40 then there are 360 titles.

What is going on?

Probably it's not really 2:1 (we know the PS3 is slightly undertracked compared to Chart Track figures even after the big adjustment, maybe the 360 is a little overtracked).

Although not yet with similar gaps like in other European countries it's interesting to note various multi-platform titles for the PS3 have now started to outsell their 360 counterparts for week 9:

15 (15) [PS3] CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE
18 (14) [360] CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE

31 (23) [PS3] BURNOUT PARADISE
38 (29) [360] BURNOUT PARADISE

40 (26) [PS3] ASSASSIN'S CREED

The same seems to start happening in another 360 stronghold Australia (we know the PS3 is undertracked by VGChartz for Australia compared to GfK/Sony [Bravia] figures):
