If Sony made a sub $399 PS3 at launch- would it have outsold the PS2 and force MS out of gaming?

It's pretty funny OP still believe PS4 will be a game console

Thats just the thing, between Microsoft and Sony, Sony does the multimedia schtik but doesn't take the focus off the games. Sony has spoken about this before. They know what the primary objective is in keeping the console a gaming console.

The industry gave Sony quite a bit of flak for it's lack of focus on games in early PS3 marketing.

Thats because development started late. Whilst Nintendo and Microsoft moved on (as they generally do) Sony tends to see their consoles through to the end. Their games came late but in 2007 was when the first wave of new IP's came. The well known games didnt really hit until 2008-2009, which is why no one paid attention. When Sony gained steam then everyone focused on the new IP's like Uncharted, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and more.
