Technically, OP is correct, without the headstart, Sony would be 8 million consoles in front of Microsoft right now, even with the $600 price tag, based on their sales year for year.

well... no. changing things back in time at one crucial step does *not* mean that you only change this but also a lot of other things that depend directly or indirectly with this change. the outcome is totally unclear.
