You just described long legs. Also, the 360 had very long legs too, and people didn't hate it at launch.


That's not legs, that's a one time freak circumstance that will never happen again.  

How is it a one time freak circumstance?

PS3 was a terrible product when it came out, people were lining up to return them.  Not because they hated Sony or really didn't like their PS3's but because there were an overwhelming number of factors working against the PS3.  They were still going to get one eventually, even then the hype on this forum was absurd.  They just wanted to wait until Sony turned things around, which it didn't do until year 4...  

Sony has learned, they aren't going to make another 600 dollar console ever again.  They aren't going to release the system with a god awful developer gui ever again.  Sony has their own first party studios up and running full steam this gen, so they can run their console half off of first party if they need to this gen.  Those are all weaknesses they don't have anymore.
