What if: Sony and Microsoft had both launched in 2005 at $399?

The PS3 wouldn't be the lowest selling console.

When I made the next gen transition in 2008 I would've bought a PS3 if it had been cheaper than the X360 as I previously owned a PS1 and PS2. Oh well...

It isn't right now either
PS360 are both 2nd place right now and the PS3 will finish as that - The VGC Numbers are wrong.
The PS3 did catch up with the 360 weeks ago(70 Million) and will overtake it completely next year.The 360 didn't even had the strong Back Friday VGC is showing either.Sony had the same amoung of sales...Its missing here a few 100k.
1 year advantage,the easier system do develop for and tons of money spent for exclusives at the beginning of this Gen couldn't help it.
Next Gen it will be completely different(hopefully - god put some brain in Sonys Management so they don't screw up again)
