I think the head start gave Microsoft a foothold but against Sony. It'll be a lot harder for Sony to convince consumers to choose the PS3 over the 360 but it hasn't been a spectacular success. Like you said, PS3 and 360 have very similar sales at launch and more likely, there will come a point where they are competing neck and neck. Microsoft's head start merely gave the 360 a chance to be a contender but it did not work for the 360 like the way the head start worked for the PS1 and 2. Simply put, MS blew their advantage and the success of the 360 will be based on its merits which is a good thing I suppose. I didn't like the way the PS2 dominated simply by being there first.
