There really wasn't any worthwhile title released in Q1 for the xbox either so that may also effected the sales. I think May will turn that around when Max Payne, Ghost Recon, gets released.
With E3 approaching probably a lot of people are anticipating an announcement from M$ about a new console.

Microsoft has definitively said that there will be no new hardware announced at E3 or "any time soon". Until recently, I thought that was fine as the last thing the AAA industry needs right now is even higher budgets but now the iPress is going on about how the iPad 3 is supposedly as powerful as a 360 (which is hilarious in how wrong that is) and that in a couple of years, we'll all be using tablets instead of consoles for all our gaming anyway. These guys need new hardware just to shut those idiots up.
