Does releasing a console a year before the competition actually help?

If the console is good it will work. The 360 was a great console so the head start really helped it.

Wii U and Dreamcast not so much so they flopped.

Just shows you though, PS1, PS2, PS3 and now PS4 all sold great no matter when they released. The fact the PS3 will sell 95M + is something else considering everything went against it. Just shows you what the PS4 will do now that it's gotten everything right.

PS3 selling 95m + at this point? It's probably only going to be on the market for 2 more years (at most) and it hasn't even reached 85m yet so fat chance
