So we all know how the PS2 was MASSIVE all around the world. The PS3 was essentially set up for success, but Sony botched up the launch of the PS3 very badly with an insane price tag and choosing a difficult architecture for the devs to initially code for. Although the OG Xbox didn't stand a chance against the PS2, the 360 managed to one up the PS3 at launch by covering up its weaknesses.
This leads to my question. Would the 360 have been as successful by its own merits if the PS3 had launched at a similar price point and a nice PC like architecture? Or was the 360's success merited mostly to the PS3's failure at launch?
