Even if the PS3 outsells the 360 this generation, Microsoft will still consider themselves successful because they will still have successfully expanded their user base compared to the first xbox and they will have made the xbox division profitable. What good is marketshare if you squander all your profits to get it?

while i agree xbox has become more popular, i dont think its right to say they have "expanded" their userbase. so far 360 has sold what, 14.5 million? the original xbox sold about 24 million. until the 360 surpasses 24 million by a significant margin, its hard to say if the 360 has captured alot more gamers. thats the way i see it anyway.

 At this point in the original XBox's life, it had only sold 11 million. So I think it is fair to say the 360 has expanded its marketshare. Plus the original XBox was cheaper from the getgo than the 360 so it had an advantage. If the 360 even maintains their current sales, let alone increases, we are looking at 34-46 million based on a 5-7 year life.
