Sony defeated themselves right off the bat this gen. M$ only gained from what sony did to themselves. If sony had plaaned right (launch price especially) before coming in, nothing M$ has done so far would leave the gen looking like this except they just gave the 360s away.

Hold on ! So your saying... Sony gave life to the 360 or made it what it is !!??

No. However, if the ps3 didn't lauch for $600 and stay so expensive for so long. It may actually be neck-in-neck with the wii right now because the wii for one won't have gotten as much attention. I know people who bought it simply because it was the cheapest way to go nex-gen. Some of them have since become bored though unfortunately.
If you had both the xbox and ps2 last gen, you'd realize that xbox was much better than the ps2 especially hardware-wise. However, sony won hands down because they'd essentially built a hardware legacy like nintendo seems to have built with it's games. This is also why the 3rd parties mosly flowed to ps2, giving it the superior library which a few would even argue against.

See bold:
Of course the Wii would've still been the top seller this gen. It gathered a whole new market to the game that Sony has been trying to crack for years. Nintendo got non-gamers to game. Something no one has been able to achieve since the NES came out.

This is true. However, if the ps3 had the ps2/ps1's performance, it won't be far off. Thats why I used the term "neck-in-neck".

Sony would've been where the 360 is right now as far as sales if they had done the job properly. Nearly 30 M consoles sold. The majority of the active market fell to Nintendo. I don't want a Wii, but I applaud the Wii still. The major savior to the videogame industry is the casual market. You can bet your bottom dollar next gen MS and Sony will be pandering to the casuals. LBP will not exactly be at the helm of that for Sony (LOLz).
