The safety stats posted are not quite as straight forward as they appear.
The 737 has been flying 20 years longer than the 320 series and thus is also based on 20 year older technology... was flying when navigation and weather prediction were also 20 year older technologies.
The 737 has sold ~45% more planes than the 320 series... more flights, more accidents. (~2400 vs. 4400)
All that being said though when you properly weigh the math the 320 still does have a respectible record against the 737.... depending how much you decide the age and technology issues play into the equation. Not faulting the 320 or the 737... just saying there is a lot more background information behind those numbers.
