Let's consider COD4 buyers who own a PS3 and 360. And let's say 1/2 those people bought COD4 for PS3 and 1/2 for 360. Let's say that's about 1 million gamers total.
You say we should just count one platform, but that's not fair, because if COD4 was only on 360, then there could be something like an additional 500k because of the people who own a PS3 and 360.
Not to mention those who might possibly buy a 360 just for this game if it was only available on 360, not PC, PS3, or anything else.
If Halo 3 was available on 360 and PS3, there would be less 360 sales than there are now and a few more PS3 sales.
A COD4 buyer is a COD4 buyer. Being spread out over about 3 platforms may very well give it better sales, but hell, that's because they were smart and spread the game as wide as possible. Microsoft would have gotten much better sales if they put Halo 3 on 360, PS3, and PC....but of course that would require some bizzaro dimension.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
