If the PS3 had no blu-ray player, no DVD player, was slightly less powerful than the 360, and sold for $300 then yes, it would have crushed the other two systems.  With the Sony brand name loyalty they would be gauranteed a victory.  I know I definitely would own a PS3 by now and wouldn't need to waste time with the other two systems because most of the good games would be on the PS3.  However, that's not what happened.  I personally find this console race fascinating. That's why I check VGChartz every day.  I didn't care at all last generation because Sony clearly won, but this time it's different.  What Nintendo did this generation was nothing short of brilliant and Microsoft did a lot better this launch than last launch.  Sony screwed up big time, and the only reason the PS3 is still alive is because there is so much loyalty to the Sony brand name both from gamers and developers.  However, it's enough to save it from death which is what makes this generation so interesting.  It's no longer completely one-sided.

WELL PUT!
