The PS3 has already caught up to and passed the 360 sales!

360 fans and anti sony force will disagree and will ignore than year head start

'shrugs' can't really do anything about it

Bullshit. Actual sales are not hypothetical. Sony chose to release their console a year later than the 360, and that has had benefits and penalties. It was a strategy decision, NOBODY is ignoring it, it's a fact. It's also a fact that the strategy has landed their playstation brand in the shitter compared to last generation, and their console in 3rd place. Stop making excuses for a huge company that made a bad decision, they aren't your friend.

Next gen, they don't start with the brand name superiority crutch. Their brand is arguably in the worst position of the three, and if they launch late, they're screwed. Excuses or not.

Saying that "360 fans" anything is already starting your statement off with a biased tent, and imply that anyone ignores the "headstart" is an insult to everyone on this forum. It wasn't a headstart, it was a business strategy that was deliberably planned by both Microsoft and Sony, and one benefitted and one did not. The playstation brand has suffered as a result, that is inarguable, and we arne't comparing speculative "what if" numbers here, because we have the real numbers, fyi.

You have some true argument there. Other thing I find that your being a bit extremistic. For Sony and PS3 to be where they are right now, their brand name is far from suffering. They still have a long way to go with HDTV and blu ray just gaining ground on the market. Their console still being price at 299$. The fact Microsoft gained more recognition and that Sony is selling less of a higher cost console doesnt mean Sony's branding and reputation is suffering.
