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

No not really. We see the 360 with two games in the top 5 and PS3 no games in the top 10. We also see Lost selling better on Xbox 360 than on Playstation 3 (I see you conveniently left that one out).

Just because PS3 has 1 more game in the top but they are all much lower ranked. Probably just because 360 is a older system, people are buying fewer but more varied PS3 titles, overall 360 selling more software.

 

No the original chart is still listed within the original post, I am pointing out something more interesting. Consider the 360 still has considerably a larger install base in both the UK and Australia. Lost being ranked one place above the PS3 isn't really interesting it should really be expected for the UK, maybe one should even expect a larger gap.
