-One box was $399 (£279), the other was $599 (£429). People don't consider the long term cost, because its all about cashflow. 

-One box had a year headstart, the other didn't.

-One box had superior exclusives (check metacritic) for the first 2 years (Gears, forza 2, Mass effect, Bioshock, Halo 3 vs uncharted 1, resistance, lair, warhwak, heavenly sword and motostorm) 

I'd say the ps3 definitely had the bigger uphill battle for the first few years, merely from a gaming standpoint the 360 was better initially. The only fault of the 360 was RROD which IMO doesn't outweight all the things which sony had to go up against.

I worked at retail when both systems came out, you cant understand how big of a deal the rrod was until you see how many people it affected firsthand.  The first year on the markey ms was supply constrained because literally every shipment that came in went to people with broken 360s.  

You want to compare which console had the worse launch?  Compare the sells of each console from their respective launch years.  Sony outsold the 360 from the start.  

Thats all besides the point i was making.  People talk about the ps3 having thishuge uphill battle against the 360 like the 360 came out strong.  The point i was making is that they both had terrible launches.  The only console that had a good launch last gen was the wii.

Definitely agree there.
