Theres a lot of things that you say that they should have done but couldn't. For example if they were going to get to the market first, would their box still be the same? Would there be a difference in the format war and would they have had Blue Ray?

You wanted them to sell their hardware at a profit right out of the gate. Well lets see they would either have to A: Take a lot of the features out to reduce production costs. Original productions costs were projected at 800+ USD so thats a lot of cutting to do. Or they could do B: Wait a couple of years and keep coasting along with the PS2 which wouldnt be a good idea IMO.

Now your 2 "what if" statements.

Q1: That would depend on what features your PS3 had. If it had the same features as it does now but was priced at 250 it would probably sell more but at the same time we could say goodbye to Sony's warchest and possibly the company. A 550 USD loss (at least) per console would bankrupt the company if they kept up with demand. And lets face it who wouldn't buy a 250 USD PS3 2 years ago? The point is the Wii and PS3 would have never launched at the same price and they never will be at the same price when sales for this gen are at any moment of importance.

Q2: What expense of the PS3s features would happen if it did release 1 year earlier than the 360? And are you assuming that the PS3 released in 2005 and the 360 released in 2006 or....?

This entire post is littered with what ifs that make each other pointless and unachievable. IDK wth you were thinking when you wrote this but logic is absent from it. It sounds more like an opportunity to troll the RROD (which that paragraph has a lot of flaws in it as well) than it is to promote any type of logical discussion. The PS3 is doing fine now, the past is over.
