Did MS/Customer Reaction to PS3 Screw Up Sony's Schedule?

[Griffin]

I think the fact that MS had the 360 out in 2005 and the fact that Toshiba tossed HD-DVD on the market so fast was a major reason why the PS3 came out so early. If MS would of waited until the PS3 was out to drop the 360 then the xbox would be dead this gen.
