They will reach xbox number in 3 years, instead of 4. Good.
They probably expanded their userbase.
Made x360 brand very popular in usa.
Released more Japanese oriented games.
Maybe even first time made a profit(hard to say, since they don`t have x360 only devision).
Were able to make some good exclusive deals with Capcom, Namco, Epic and other developers.
They will be fine, they won`t win, But they improved a lot.
It`s like during ps2 time, there were xbox and GC owners, BUT this time it`s more pleasant to be an x360 owner, then it was to be an xbox owner(except RROD of`course).
x360 will continue selling, just like PSP was selling during DS owning.
But x360 won`t be as popular, as PS2 or PS one were.
While, PS3 since this autumm has good chance to have a BIG boost and start selling alot.
