Welcome game1211 to vgcharts, I'm sure you'll find these forums to hopefully be more supportive than gamespot/gamefaqs forums where I used to lurk and post as well.
Your article was definitely a good effort and it looks like you took the time to find the links and reference them in, however most people besides the fanboys/ignorant folks really think the 360 is dead in the water. As an ex member of gamespot myself I can see why you would think the majority think so because those forums are plagued by fanboys and idiots. There wasn't a single day where flames wars didn't occur over consoles and blah., (wasn't a single minute more like).
Also a lot of those article are extremely dated, it's great that you know how to find information, but a lot of the more recent threads and articles (or even the weekly sales) already show that the 360 is not dead from good hardware and software sales. I hope you enjoy this forum and stay because you seem like an intelligent person with logic =)
