I'm not saying they
will make a better system than Sony... but if they release it in america at the same time Sony releases Ps2 in Japan there is a good possibility that even with an earlier release it
could have better hardware than Sony's in every way.
We can't jump to the conclusion that an earlier release means a weaker system. Think about Psx and Saturn. Sega had to push the launch date WAY back to compete with Sony because not only did Psx have a lower price point, it had better graphics.
Two consoles released at the same time have equal opprotunity. But it depends on the reigon it's released in too! Imagine if Xbox 2 and Ps3 were exactly the same (power wise)... except:
Ps3
NA Launch: 10-26-06
Japan Launch: 10-26-05
Xbox 2
NA Launch: 11-15-05
Japan Launch: 11-15-06
In Japan Ps3 would be just as powerful but released a year before, in US Xbox2 would be just as powerful and released a year before. Thus making it possible for a console to be released earlier and still be equal/more powerful.
-EDIT-
But if this were to happen, methinks Xbox's chances in Japan would be very slim depending on what Nintendo does. But, Microsoft would have a above average chance of smashing Sony in the US. For some reason, I see the next generation for Microsoft (because of the US base) being a worldwide release.
