What this graph tells me is that the 360 would have been in serious trouble without Kinect. Really, talk about a timely product launch. It literally saved the 360's bacon.

It's striking how different those graphs are, with the PS3 having a very gradual rise and decline. Looks to me, given the lack of spikes, it would finish above the 360 in year 8, though we know the landscape will probably be much different.

I also did not realize that the PS3 outsold the 360 at launch, especially in only two months compared to three months. What would gaming be like now if the PS3 hadn't had so many problems and faults initially? Wow.
