Even if they could have finished the GameCube generation like this ...
PS2 - 140 million
GameCube - 35 million
XBox - 18 million
That probably would've chased MS out of the market and then they could have pounced on Sony's coming mistake to force feed Blu-Ray into the PS3 to win the disc format war but in the process making PS3 $600.
They've kinda screwed themselves with both audiences now though. They basically let MS/Sony take over the entire core gamer segment, and then watched helplessly as Apple/Google smart devices took over their casual market from the DS/Wii era.
Never should've let Microsoft gain a foothold, they should have fought much harder during the GCN cycle, it would have saved them a lot of headaches later on and ensured a decent market presence for them.
