I skipped every single post in this thread, including the OP. Maybe I should have read something because what I type next may actually be wrong. Anyway:
I think that, with one year alone on the market, the Xbox sold less than 6 million consoles (though Microsoft was hoping to sell 10 million). People just wanted to see what the competition would do and the Xbox brand wasn't that big to begin with. It wasn't until the competition launched that the Xbox caught fire. I think the Wii U will surpass that one year record pretty easily.
