On PS2 vs GCN thing, I think PS2 wasn't 299 anymore when GCN launched and it already had the benefit of being on the market and having good support.

I'm pretty sure they dropped the price, year after the GCN launch (2002). I remember that at the same time they dropped price of PS1, to ridiculous $49 or something like that.
