To early?

PS3 released to late. Any later and we wouldnt be talking about PS3  today.

Late again will kill the Playstation brand altogether. 

Yup, too early. Manufacturing costs were too high, especially for the Blu-Ray compatibility, driving the price up. Launch games were so-so. PS2 was still selling quite well. If Sony had waited till Holiday '07 to release the PS3, it would've been heralded as the second (or third?) coming of Video-Game-Console-Christ. And it probably would have sold as such.

As it was, Sony was already forced to drop the price before the PS3's second holiday. They may as well have waited a year to begin production and launched at $500.

You mean 2007?????

That would have destroyed them.

By then imo MGS series would have been lost. FF possibly to. Also 360 would have likely sold even better than it already was by then.

Couple together PS3 would then have been releasing alongside Halo 3 ouch!

And then Gears 2 in 2008. Your forgetting waiting till then for Ps3 would have meant no Uncarted 3 by now, GT5 would have taken longer etc. It would have skewed Sonys genertaion to much. It would ave killed them.
