While this has been true in the various retailers near me for the most part of the gen... its more of an awesome pat on the back for MS and the 360 than anything else.
360 is one console and shares the same amount of space as Nintendo gets for 2 or currently, 4 consoles. Which is twice that of Sony and its 2 consoles.
Additionally you have to see the actual placement of each console area. At the beginning of the gen, Sony had the prime location right off the main walkway, with MS next and then Nintendo in the rear. By 2008, that had completely reversed with it being Nintendo, then MS, then Sony. Then by 2010, it changed again to be MS, then Nintendo, then Sony.
