Nice find. I wonder why PS3 owners in Others buy more games than their 360 counterparts... There is after all almost a million more 360 owners in Others compared to PS3 owners.

You wonder? PIRACY.

piracy has a part to play and other things like rrod 360's, higher ps3 sales and popularity.

PS3 owners buy more games. Could an explanation be any simpler?

Ever heard of piracy? pretty good numbers for the 360 and the Wii since it's relly relly easy to mod your console.

so in one week piracy took a 400k+ lead and turned it into a 600k+ deficit?

what is this "piracy" you speak of?

I must get one.

PS3 is ahead in both of those links you posted.

It was back in May that the PS3 surpassed the 360 http://www.vgchartz.com/eweekly.php?date=39936

Might have happened switched places before then, but I'm not going to check.

hummm, I think piracy has a lot of to do with this... AND also that X360 had a lot of RRD so when they say 3x million sold, means like 6 million not working... so I think PS3 and X360 are almost equal on usage, but... but... I believe there are a lot more X360 active gamers than ps3 owners that are gamers...

Piracy... doh...

It's also one of the reasons 360 is ahead of PS3 in others, when you can buy a console for 300$/200$, and mod it for another 50$, it's waayyyyyy cheaper than buying a console for 400$ AND having to pay for every single game you buy.

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
