^Of course it's a minority, but having a couple of million extra sales early in it's life is definately huge, when you are negotiating 3rd party games for your platform.
The huge amount of 3rd party exclusives that PS3 was set to have in 06-08, that went to multiplatform release, wasn't just because of lackluster PS3, but also because publishers saw 360 userbase being big enough.
Of course, there's not just a single reason why things went like they did, but a sum of number of reasons. In retrospect you could say that Sony did everything wrong, and it would have been better for them to skip the 7th generation completely (or atleast the PS3 part), as it would have made them more money.
