There are no systemsellers for the xbox360 anymore and after gt5 and god of war the same goes for the ps3. Thats why they both come with motion stuff, to attract new crowds. hardcore gamers that still dont have a console and will buy one probably do so because they are finally old enough to pay for one or they are sick of upgrading their pc's. And that crowd isnt that big. The ps3 has a slight advantage that they can sell it as an blu ray drive but MS is trying do add that value by Netflix, zune marketplace and Sky like services.
So I dont expect any miracles for MS until the launch of Natal, that might be a big shift or a huge flop, nobody can tell yet. At least there is excitement on the dev side and the media were all over it (not only gaming media, but main stream). These are good indications that MS doesnt see it as a little extra. They are taking the serious approach unlike Sony with the Magic Wand.
