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

I agree that they definitely would have done better if they didn't delay the launch in their most loyal market by 5 months  AND remove PAL hardware BC.

They missed out on a holiday season - AND gave loyal PS2 fans the most tangible reason not to upgrade early ie. migrate their exisiting library to their new system.

 

you read me well. i understand why devs abandodned the PS2 likely they did but it didn't make any sense to me.

 

the cost of dev ensured profit, and likely could have saved some dev.'s doors from closing.
