Launch aligned can be misleading though. Generally platforms that launch later tend to benefit from competitive technological advances and a maturing developer environment that they wouldn't have enjoyed otherwise. If 360 had launched in late 2006, it would've had an HD-DVD drive and far more games upfront. If PS3 had launched in late 2005, it'd have probably had to go with DVD and seen less than half the games it had it's first year. Trying to divorce a platform's performance from the actual context of the year it was in just doesn't work.
