Xbox would have won the Hardware sales every year if the HW is directly proportional to Software sales.

If it was then Xbox 360 would have been the best selling console this generation by quite a margin.

Quality > quantity.

I agree that they aren't directly proportional, and I'm glad we're finding correlations within the thread. For instance, why Wii HW sales dwindled at the same time as SW support subsided.
