PS3 tying with X360 and being less than 15M bellow Wii suggest strongly that launching for 200 USD less it would pass both, sustained by Sony dominating on PS1,2 and 4. Much more than X1 launching for 299 would cover the 2:1 difference against PS4.

You are basically saying that if one change of 100 USD for the base PS3 would improve PS3 sales by 20-25% it should also do 100% for X1, that is what would be embarassing.

I'm saying the entire argument around a $399 PS3 that isn't actually the PS3 dominating the market is an embarrassment trying to hide the true facts that for the vast majority of the generation they were in 3rd place and ended up literally millions behind the Wii.

Let it go. They fucked up on design, price, games and it was all down to their own arrogance. No amount of "what ifs" will change that.

I don't know what's embarrassing about pointing out the obvious. who cares if they were third pace the whole generation, they ended up second and sold 87 million, despite all the huge mistakes, and thats even with 360 even getting a huge kinect boost, which made it stay in second place much longer then it should have. everyone points out the what ifs for xbox one, but there mistakes aren't anywhere as bad as ps3, since it matched ps4 price within a few months, then lowered it within a year
