We will have to disagree. Sony could not afford a $400 PS3 at launch. Judging from the sales of most of their launch titles, there is no way they would have made anywhere near enough to cover the losses. They didn't even start making a profit on the system until well into the generation. That would be like someone saying a $200 launch Xbox 360 would have gave them an insurmountable lead. It is pure conjecture and has no basis. As, I said before, the year headstart was part of MS's strategy, Sony could not do anything about that.

I didn't say they could afford a $400 PS3, but then, the reason they couldn't wasn't because of Microsoft. In fact, besides your last sentence, you reinforced my point.

Incorrect. I didn't reinforce any of your opinions; I just showed how hollow that if only argument you are using is. The 360 released earlier, at a lower price point. It is an equivalent system that has, lets say, 90% of the same games. This, along with many of the big name 3rd party games running better on the system. It also had a much better online infrastructure. It offered a whole new experience (online) to what the PS2 had. None of this was in Sony's control.

As you said before, we will just disagree. No point in pursuing this any longer as neither of us are going to convince the other.
