I honestly think it might be worse, Yes Sony started at 599 yes it came out a year later but that doesn't explain why they still have been losing marketshare the last 3 year against microsoft. the 360 pretty much is a old ass entertainment console with a DVD drive , a xbl (paywall happy liquid) and faulty as shyt with RROD. sony should have easily recovered and passed MS in the us by now, and realistically they have the better entertainment console with bluray outside of apps.
I told you cats a while back that the console market will probably shrink this gen and you fools just laughed at it.
