Up until PS3 they were always second to market and reasonably priced though. Saturn was $399 at launch, PS1 came out just 3 months later at $299. Last gen the DC came out first at $199, then a year later the more powerful, DVD-equipped PS2 came out at $299.
Then came this gen... 360 comes out first at $399, understandable being that it was the 1st HD console. A year later, PS3 comes out second again, but this time at $100-$200 more than the 360, and more than double the price of the Wii. Unlike previous gens where the PS1 and 2 were competitively priced right out of the gate, the PS3 was never competitive in price until the "Slim" model was released 3 years after launch. This is why Sony has found themselves in third and are struggling to regain lost marketshare.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
