I do have one thing to add, and I'm not reviewing every post to check that this has or hasn't been said. After reading your post, I noticed you mentioned the launch of the wii as "Much hyped" where initially the PS3 had a LOT more hype following it up until after their respective launches.
I agree there was a lot of hype for both platforms, but my point was that the PS3 also had to deal with an interesting much hyped competitor while the XBox 360 competed only with the much older GameCube and PS2. Although according to CNET the XBox 360 had the most hyped launch for the US, beating the Nintendo Wii as well as the PS3 in this regard. I guess Microsoft already earned experience from hyping the technically unimpressive "Microsoft Windows 95" in the past.
