Assuming that PS3 launched at $400 back in Nov. 2006

I'm not sure if anybody else has stated this, and I don't care.

If the PS3 launched at $400, then (1) it would have outsold the 360 all year, (2) it would have gotten better development efforts, and (3) it would have still ended up in third after the year/generation ended.
