A thing MS already tried with the transition from the original XB to XB360. It didn't work. OTOH, despite totally wasting its head start and ending its gen at the last place, XB360 was able to eventually gather nice fruits from the unusual lenghth of its own gen, with high HW sales and very high attach rate and SW sales for a last ranking console, no other last ranking one ever sold as much, currently. This should have taught MS a thing or two.

They didn't release the X360 early. The GC was already dying and the PS2 was outdated. They were starting early, but that was well into the seventh generation... 

And second place if you count the Wii fad. The X360 was ahead of the PS3 when the Wii U was revealed. 

The proof that they launched the Xbox 360 Early, is the  Failure rate % that the console had, was Too high in the beggining, i think that you had more chances to purchase a Broken Xbox360, than a good one, i think that is not $ Healthy for Microsoft, or for the Video Game Industrie, if they Rush something in those state again.

PS3, out-sold Xbox 360, when GTA V launched, you need to compare sales when the Next Gen consoles from each one that we are comparing, launched, and PS3, took the Edge  in the last months of the PS3, and Xbox 360, the Xbox 360, also had 1 Year head start, 1 Year more in the market, if the 2 launched in the same year, the PS3, would have Sold more sooner than later.
