Thank you for posting this.
First off welcome to the site. I agree with your calculations and if you carry on posting threads like this I'm sure you will become very popular.
However, that said, the product lifecycle will not remain the same throughout the generation. As you can see from the graph below that products go through a cycle and the PS3 is currently going through its period of growth and I would hazard a guess by saying that the 360 is reaching maturity.
These sales will not remain the same forever, you may find that next year these average sales would have increased. In two or three years you may even find that the sales will decrease as it comes to the end of its maturity stage.
