It's just console supporters making arbitrary goals to aim for.
In reality, what should be considered is that with launch dates adjusted, the PS3 has considently sold more then the 360. I personally put that down to the bluray player on it.
Other then saying that bluray was therefore a good investment by Sony, can anything else be drawn from sales? Probably one last thing. Without a new media format, how will the next playstation sell? In fact, how well will any of them sell? When the 360 was released, bluray was still fighting HD-DVD, and when the PS2 and xbox were released, VHS were still in circulation. Now with bluray being a widely adopted and embedded successor to DVD, as well as the growing trend of streaming media, will the next consoles be able to purposefully advertise an optical media without being ignored or laughed at? The next consoles are stepping into very murky waters indeed.
