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

then sony would be alot poorer than what they are now

No. Sony would still have a huge first party and they wouldn't taken the financial hit. Even I would've bought the PS3 before the 360, but Microsofts product was made similarly to how Sony would've made theres so the decision was easy for me to jump ship to the 360. 

umm what. I was answering the op question. If sony released the ps3 a year earlier they would be losing even more money per console sold than what they did. and as the price was cheaper they would have sold more consoles earlier which means losing more money as in the beginning they were losing alot of money per console sold.
