It has almost the exact same market share yet launched a year later....Week on week that means it's sales have been higher, whilst also securing the next-gen format. Now go figure if MS want to use bluray, with every nextbox sold Sony will make cash. That seems like a brilliant move. 

So its been more successful because its sold essentially the same amount of units as the 360 (still less than) in a Years less time? And because Microsoft MIGHT use Bluray next gen?

No not the same amount. Week on week it has sold considerably more. Look at the figures. In a market that consists of 3 consoles, being released the latest at the highest price and matching the closest competition shows that Sony made a product that quite clearly was popular. 

Bluray might be used, but either way they still make money from each bluray sold as they are part of the BDA, not to mention are one of the only manufactuers of bluray discs. Securing the HD optical format seems quite a smart move if you also consider Sony sell standalone bluray players and 1080p TV's.
