@Bolded: Lets change that. Do you think gamers would care if the PS3 launched at the same time as the 360 with that price. Saying gamers would not care if it launch first means that they would have no option to pick something different. I do not know about you but I like choice. Its the reason I have a PS4 over the X1 because the PS4 was cheaper with the best performance and better looking games.
You forget something that killed the 360 momentum, RROD. But thats another topic for another day.

Nope, it be a superior product costing more vs inferior costing less. A mere choice we al face each and every day. Nothing like the superior one costing less and inferior one costing more PS4 X1 debacle.

You say its superior but the perception at that time was not the reality. If it was the superior product, Sony would never had to take out the PS2 Emotion chip, take out the extra USB ports, change the chrome premium look of the Fat to the black plastic on their revision. Exactly how do you account for that if the product was so superior??

BR wifi more reliable hardware more powerfull tech more 1stp stronger brand name, you know the same things why PS3 sold more its 1st year then 360 did in its.
Align release and PS3 out sales it each year, that shows superiority all you have is opinion.

Exactly what you using when you say the PS3 outsold the 360 in its first year. I remember MS had a heavy shortage problem during its first year but even so, I believe Sony did not top sales since they had limited release during their first year. Either way, so what. Sony lost hand and fist during those first 3 years due to making a console that almost cost a grand and selling it for 500/600.
So you are right Sony had some very expensive parts in the PS3 but it nearly cost the company dearly and they had to cut components and prices big time to make up that mistake.
As to your last point, I guess we can leave that one up to personal opinion since there is no way for either of us to confirm that one. It would be interesting if MS actually did hold off on the 360 a year and solved that RROD issue as it would have made things interesting if both came out the same time.
