True, but one of the ramifications of my point is I'm sure many gamers chose the Xbox because it was priced at a loss. If it was priced at a profit like the GameCube was, it is a certainty it would have sold less than it did, perhaps even less than the GameCube. 

See I just realized something. This criteria isn’t universal. Like most people will look at Ps3 and 360 and say the PS3 won out in the end right? But going by your criteria 360 was considerably more profitable. I wish I could apply your standard elsewhere but thing is people have their own criteria. Point being many of us see through the lens of the gamer and not that if the business.  

I have to point out here that the gap between the PS3 and 360 is not that significant (2m) to the point that it changes views through the eyes of a gamer as you put it, through out that whole gen 360 through a gamers point of view was the better platform especially with its breaking of Sony's hold on third parties, exclusive deals, competent first party to compliment the library and the evolution of live, even the gap between the GC and Xbox is not that significant either (3m). Compare this to like the SNES and MD where the is a significant 20m gap where you can apply that argument to.
