Being first this gen made the difference from being successful 2nd instead of an also-ran 3rd. It gave them a bigger game selection. Great games coming out when PS3 had only Resistance, bragging rights about how much more software they sell for developers, and the all important ability to remain priced lower than the PS3 all generation long.
I think MS will definately want to launch 1st again. And if Sony is smart, they'll let them and then put out a system that is distinctly different from MS instead of one that is basically the same.
