If MS did both, they'd still end up way in third place.

XBL is used by a fraction of all Xbox 360 owners. I recall MS bragging that XBL was used by 6 million unique consoles, Xbox and Xbox 360 included, after the original Xbox sold ~24 million and the 360 sold ~8 million. XBL may be a selling point for many prospective owners, but not the majority of prospective owners.

Umm, hate to knitpick but christmas 2007 they announced they had 10 million active live users. To put it in perspective...thats the total number of PS3's sold. 

 

^ He was saying 6 million XBL users at the point when 8 million Xbox 360's had been sold. Seeing as how it's over 17 million now, that must've been quite some time BEFORE christmas '07.
