No, because it was the only really good (in the eyes of the public) X-Box game for more than half a year. It had nothing to compete with, and everybody wanted it.
That's my point.
The same can be applied to the present situation. When you have less to compete against, or one thing stands well above the rest (ala Halo), then that game is going to sell in monsterous proportions.
Thus, sales can be comparable between two machines that have a sizeable difference between their userbases (and game library). Because there are more factors that go into how a game sells than just userbase.
