uh, no, it should expand rocket pig. Most people just need one console and then get multiple games for it over time, but the 360's sales really aren't that great. Granted this is only a superficial analysis b/c MS will probably sell 5 or 6X's the amount of DLC type of games than the PS3 on any given week, but hey, Sony seems to be catching up, w/ this Qore thing, HOME which will come in another 3 years, and the online chatting thing and universal friends that sony has. I think that the PSN is improving so its sales will improve as well.

I just really think that this, and other stats are starting to show that the 360 wasn't the juggernaut that we thought that it was just a year ago.

Okay, maybe I'm not understanding your OP. Are you talking about all-time software sales or week-by-week software sales?

All-time should be higher, week-by-week should be proportionally lower.


are you trying to say that as the weeks go by, the amount of proportional sales would be lower and lower? Well, I guess, according to you anyway.


Compared to newer systems, yes. If the PS3 is one year old and sells 5m units and the 360 is two years old and sells 10m units, week-by-week software sales should technically be 1:2 in favor of the 360 (given complete neutrality in game releases). The problem is that they're not. Since the 360 is one year older, there is a higher likelyhood that some people aren't using their system anymore, they have broken and are not repaired, or people just lost interest and moved on to other things (including, possibly, the PS3).

After all, I don't see the PS2 moving over 10 times more softare than the 360... Which it should given install base.
