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

PS3 probably would have won the gen, and the wii would probably have sold a few less consoles but the wii obviously still would have been a huge success. Honestly if the PS3 was $400 in 2005, it may have been the last console for microsoft. If Sony would have just dropped the whole bluray thing, they would have been able to sell so many more systems.
This is all assuming that the PS3 would have been similar to the 360 in power and used DVDs. Lets face it, back in 2005 all things equal most people would have bought a playstation over an xbox. This whole idea that the reason the PS3 is having good legs is because of the power of the system is rubbish. Ever heard of the PS2? that had pretty damn good legs i believe.
