So, you're basically ignoring who makes the most from the game, gets the better HW boost, AND who actually sells the most units.  Then, choose to use the only argument that MS might come out on top of, attach rate?  Got it, lol. 

I'm ignoring nothing. What I'm saying is, when you have a basketball game of 5 on 2, the outcome is meaningless and irrelevant. The only way it's fair is if both consoles have the same amount of units in homes. If it's lopsided, and you want to attempt to compare sales, the only way it can be done is with attach rates.

In no way comparing attach ratio is apple to apple... it just a measure of SW sold per HW... and when we know that usually when a HW is lower the attach ratio uses to be higher because there are more hardcore users than for big HW numbers.
