if it would have launched at $399 the gaming world would have been completely different today

Wii would have never taken off

yes it would be a different world. there would be no ps3 or Sony. they would be out of business after lossing 100's of billions of dollars

100's of billions of dollars,are you real?

 

sony would have lost alot but software number would have been off the hook

don't forget,PS2 sold 1.6billion copies of software

if sony got anywhere near that then they would have totally earned everything back

 

every PS3 game today pays $10 to sony in royalty

sony earns $35 on first party games

 

plus the success would have turned blu-ray into a monster and royalties would have made sony very happy

 

the reason why this couldn't possible was

sony's overconfidence on its brand name.it was $399 strong,just not $499 strong

few launch games

plus early shortages which didn't build a base and then devs backed off
