Hey there giantbombers, I'd like to talk about some of the misconceptions among the games press about how the install bases of gaming platforms shake out. First off, would it surprise you to learn that the xbox 360 install base is actually only 138% that of the ps3? I believe this perception is fueled by an american centric viewpoint. Also, the ps3's install base is actually only significantly higher in the 3 major english speaking markets, of course being Australia, the UK and the USA. In non english speaking countries the ps3's install base is virtually equal or slightly above that of the 360 despite being released a year later and of course in Japan the ps3 dominates completely. I believe this illustrates a higher interest in the Ps3 than the 360. It is interesting that people tend not to consider these factors when diagnosing the popularity of a console.
