The only logical answer is "it doesn't matter when every console sold a minimum of 78 million units."
Seriously. In what other generation have we seen all the major platforms sell so evenly? In ever other generation since the Atari came out, there's been one console curbstomping everyone else. The closest equivalent I can think of is the 16-bit era, and even then the SNES bodied the Genesis.
And rather than making whole "console war" concept irrelevant, those numbers made it more parochial and stupid. It always depresses the shit out of me seeing people treat the small gap between total PS3 and 360 numbers like some mighty struggle between heaven and hell. I expect more of the same next gen.
