Specifically you're talking about retail software sales as tracked by Vgchartz. The entire software ecosystem whether you're talking revenue or unit numbers is still giving the Xbox 360 the lead in almost all weeks.

Oh was there a site that tracks weekly revenues or "Unit numbers"? Because I was under the impression we were talking about things that could actually be measured for us to discuss. 

People still discuss things which cannot be measured so try God for instance.



Tease.

So you are likening your statement of fact about the 360 being in the lead to people stating "God exists." as fact. That sounds about right...

It takes a failure to truely understand failure, I.E. it takes one to know one. Or in other words "Specifically you're talking about retail software sales as tracked by Vgchartz." = I agree with what the OP said but only in the context of retail sales as far as we're aware given Vgchartz limitations on tracking software and not the overall total number of software units or revenue moved because the online element adds a proportion of sales we cannot track but it doesn't mean we ought to pretend its not there. Since we know the retail sales are similar in the order of a few % and I also know that Arcade style games sales are significantly higher on the Xbox 360 due to PMs I have sent to various knowledgeable people on various forums, maybe you ought to use some better reading comprehension?

You have to have proof or else it doesn't mean anything. You can keep thinking your own opinions and they may be correct but you can't be involved in a discussion and present facts when there is absolutely no evidence. No one will believe you.

Not everything has explicit evidence which you can directly point to and not all well reasoned arguments require the strictest standards of evidence. I can point to the fact that the Xbox 360 has a considerable quantity of games on demand, also Xbox Live points cards were the top selling accessory for 2009 (Major Nelson podcast) and that I have been told that Xbox Live is considerably more vibrant to the point where several developers wouldn't create PSN games exclusively but they would make Xbox Live games exclusively. Thats about as good evidence as basing information on Vgchartz software sales which have a margin of error over 20%.

There are also developers that make PSN games exclusively and don't make Live games, the PSN offers full retail length games for download from popular franchises, the PSN shares cross platform games with their handhelds which has a userbase of more than the 360, The PSN has classic PSone games that are extremely popular with the video game world. The PS3 has been outselling the 360 at retail on a smaller userbase recently. Most of your information is probably heavily dependent on a time period before the Slim was even launched. This thread is about the future, not the past before drastic consumer shifts took place.

Actually its information I got within the last month in response to the last time a thread like this came up. The developers who make PSN games exclusively are also largely/wholly funded by Sony or given free access to their Phyre engine which is a part exchange in money equivalent services.
