Even if (or when) the 360 ends up in 3rd, would you consider MS successful?

I think most of us thought the 360 would land in third place anyway, it just that the 360 has surpassed everyone's expectations so now where expecting/hoping that the 360 stays in second place.

With the current games available and the ones coming out (such as L4D, Fable 2, and Gears of War 2), development for the 360 could drop dead and it would still be a great console.
