Those graphs are certainly interesting, even the PSP outsells the X-Box 360, it's on about a par with the SNES and almost the same as the original X-Box.

Dunno what else they could've done to be honest, they had their console out almost a year before Nintendo and Sony to try and beat everyone else to the next gen race, they've had the whole market to themselves. Before though X-Box was a newer console than PS2 and with slightly better hardware, but now it's going to be an older console to PS3 and inferior spec wise too, an older console than the Wii as well. If MS thought sales were mediocre now, how are they gonna feel in a years time when Wii and PS3 start to take into the market? It'll be like Dreamcast Mark II.
