2009 was the worst year for the 360 because 1) it didnt do as well as it had been doing previously 2) they ended up with red on their budget books,
the 360 didnt do crappy in 2009 just crappy compared to its previous years
i watched the video on the sony swagger link about uncharted mastering the cell, and all i have to say is that the 360 is gonna have to step it up, the technical landmark set by that game was bigger than i thought with the blended motion and the ability to draw 1.2 million triangles per frame and approx 40 million a second is a large feat.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 04th Jan 2009 to 21st Nov 2009:

 

Console	X360

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 06th Jan 2008 to 22nd Nov 2008:

 

Console	X360
Total	6,922,727

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Jan 2007 to 24th Nov 2007:

 

Console	PS3

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 01st Jan 2006 to 25th Nov 2006:

 

Console	X360

so it is not their worst year for the hardware.

Software:

Games sold so far in 2009:
82.02 million

Games sold in 2008:
108.17 million

Games sold in 2007:
60.56 million

Games sold in 2006:
24.5 million

So with December still to come for this year, the Xbox360 might end up selling the most software ever. Definately not the worst year for the Xbox 360.

And it did not end up in the red. The EDD made a profit since 2008 (even with the zune losses included). The last 3 moths had a <300 million profit.
