The Xbox 360 shipped less than 3.5 million units during the first three quarters of 2007. It was hardly setting the world on fire before Halo 3 and CoD4; if anything, it looked like it was losing steam ever since its launch.
To think it would have gone the way of the Dreamcast was a perfectly reasonable conclusion by then, especially if Sony comes about with newer and faster hardware, media, and far smaller losses from the more mature Blu-ray tech.
