I honestly don't believe PS3 had so much competition from the 360 because 360 was just that perfect. I think it was literally because MS knew the only way they could compete with the next Playstation would be to rush their product to the market and be the first 7th gen console out the gate. Combine that with it being the most powerful console around for over a year with the fact that Sony really showed their ass when revealing the PS3, and they had a recipe for success. The continued success came from the fact that MS was a lot smarter than Sony was when it came to working with third parties, and landed some huge marketing deals as well as causing PS to lose some of it's biggest third party exclusive franchises. It's a good console, but besides the pushes it made with online features, nothing really set it apart from the PS1, the PS2, or the XB during their respective generations.
