Console sales are important but Software Developers and Publishers also look at software tie-in numbers. Having the most consoles means nothing if the console owners are only purchasing one or two first party titles. Xbox and Xbox 360 owners traditionally buy many games (within certain genres). This is very important to third party publishers and often decides which platform a game is initially designed on. Of course there is no denying that a poorly selling title on a console that sold 120 million units can still have a positive influence on a company's bottom line.
