Actually, THAT is bullshit. If this statement were true, then there is no hope of anyone EVER overtaking Sony. If we apply this theory backwards, Atari is still ruling the gameing market today. If you honestly think that the PS2's head start has NOTHING to do with it's dominance today you are mistaken. It's not the ONLY factor by any means, but it definitelty has an impact.

Actually, didn't Sega have the head start with the Dreamcast launch one year earlier?

If the whole head start theory meant anything, then the Dreamcast would have been the dominant system.
