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

No way to know, not just about the price but the games. Of course a better price would result in a better first year, but man the PS3 had a horrid first year and a half

It outsold the Xbox 360's first year. If you actually check year for year the PS3 made more over its respective time being a year behind.

Would it have outsold the PS2 though? I agree it would've pushed the XBox away.. Move would probably have taken some of the Wii Fever as well. Still in its first year, there was no great exclusive on the PS3 (besides Uncharted). It really kicked off 2009 imo (even 2008 was a bit dry).

Nope the PS2 bagged the core and the casuals which is why it will be hard to surpass in sales. The Wii couldn't even accomplish that either. I doubt the PS3 would've outsold the Wii. The Wii bagged the casuals.
