If so, Sony are more stupid that I thought. Here I was, thinking that perhaps this gen had taught them something.

They lost because their console was $600, not because it came out after Xbox 360.

They are both major factors.

No, not really.  It would only affect it if it came out way later than the others.  If the Dreamcast is to be taken into consideration, then releasing it too early isn't such a good idea. 

In the case of the PS3, the main reason it didn't sell at first was because of the very high price.  Ever since it got to the 299$ price point, it started selling more and more. Outselling the 360 in most regiona.  So yeah, its price was the main factor there, not the late release date.
