So another what if thread. Send the PS3 Slim back 5 years into time 2005 and launch it on the same day as the XBox 360 at $299. PS3 would be in the same position as the Wii is today in sales around 70 million. The Wii would of sold 50 million today instead of 70 million today. 360 sales they may not have reached 30 million sales today. PS3 would of taken sales from both 360 and Wii.
You can see from alligned launches that the PS3 is 4 or 5million sales in front of the 360 for its first 40 months of its effective life when alligning the systems from their launches. That is a fair comparison- comparing the PS3 sales with 360 sales which sold last year.
PS3 may be lucky to climb up to second place in 2 or 3 years time.
