EA has also been making tons of money because of the good xbox360 software sales for years now, so what's your point ??

The rest is bullshit (the blahblah blah when it comes to the 360's userbase) when the attach ratio of the 360 is by far the highest this generation, a fact that destroys all the amateurish propaganda.

well, I m sure they are making tonne of money on the 360. They are making more money on 360, let's be clearer.
But they also know those 360 people are very Gears or Halo or CoD biased (not EA games). While PS3 is lacking a "king exclusive" meaning people will tend to buy more multiplateform games (see FIFA).

At the end, multiplateform sales tend to favor PS3 compared to the "official" console user base ratio. That is why EA is loving the PS3.

And, at this question : WHY PS3 software sales on multiplateform games do not follow the userbase ratio PS3/360 ?

- there is no piracy on PS3, there are plenty on 360
- I m GUESSING the 360 userbase is "virtually" slightly inflated because of people buying more than one whatever it is because the old one was broken or because the 360 is cheaper so u can buy several for your children. I doubt many people have 2 PS3s and I doubt people bought many PS3s because their first died by RRoD ...

Also, about the attach rate you are mentionning, since this rate include the 360 exclusive or no EA games (that EA, obviously, dont give a fucking shit) AND since this attach rate is biased because it is calculated WITHOUT taking in count the fact that the 360 was released 1 year before the PS3 (from what I know), I tend to consider it is not an interesting parameter IMHO

The attach rate of the 360 IS NOT DROPPING despite the 360 selling hundreds of thousand of consoles which would be the normal thing to happen if the same people were rebuying the console. How difficult is it to understand this simple logical fact ??

As for the ratio between the 360 and the ps3, the ratio is never linear with the consoles userbases . The xbox 360 has a more "mature" userbase in the west since it has sold far more there so it is quite normal that the ratio will be in ps3' favour and that's mopre on a game by game basis anyway. Hell the ratio in many ps2/xbox multiplatform games was much more in favour of the xbox (percentage wise) despite the HUGE difference between the userbases of the 2 consoles.

I'm not 100% sure but i think the 360 userbase has more teens and kids than the PS3 userbase, that i would say has more adults. Why?? because the 360 is cheaper, so it seems more likely that parents will get that for their kids, as they dont know or care about tech stuff. if you look at stuff like Alan Wake and Heavy Rain the sales of HR have been really good for a mature based game compared to AW which is not considered a success. 

the other thing is if you look at stuff like Kung Fu Panda and Lego Batman, they've sold more than Mass Effect 1 & 2 on the 360, suggesting a less mature userbase than on the PS3. although, by no means am i trying to start a flame war, just pointing out a possible theory...

VG had the 360 sales at about 300k less then the amount MS said they shipped, and then a month or so later (not sure when just heard about it) they add 1 million to the 360 sales because of under tracking 4 years ago or something, so if they added it at any point before the shipped numbers for 360 came in, VG would have shown 700k more 360s sold then MS said were shipped (even if it sold that much in a month that would mean there are no 360s left in stores at all), and there were no reported shortages for 360s, where there were reported shortages of ps3s which had 2 million more shipped then VG had sold, which means VG chartz numbers are way off and inconsistent, as for the date of the report http://scrawlfx.com/2010/04/xbox-360-reaches-40-million-sold the article says april 23

thats for last 3rd quarter (srd q 2010) which ends for MS on march 30th sells through at the time on VGC are listed at 39.119k shipping from MS at 40.2k seems like a fair gap for me.

april 23 is when it was reported not when the figures are for. 

year for MS ends in june which is the Q i thought you were talking about earlier, hence why i mentioned they might be running it dry to make next years shipments look better. got another one for me

How do you know exactly what VG had it at back then, I remember it being .3 million or at least under a million, and even still your forgetting that they under-tracked it by 1 million 4 years ago and then added it a few months later, so thats still next to none in stores, when ps3 had the shortages with 2 million (plus the extra month) apparently in stores, so yeah anyway you look at it VG is wrong, they seem to be giving 360 more sales then it has and ignoring alot of ps3 sales 

vgc has an adjustments thread, please find it in there if you would. i looked up your number, and traced it. i do not remember the point in time your talking about, where it was over/under by 300k i do recal a major adjust ment for all three consoles this summer do to under tracking across the board around  year end for ms (june)

edit there were ps3 shortages this year? hmm i dont remember that. last year yes lots of them sporadically all year, but this year?
