Hey, they were both advertised alongside the rest of the gen 5 consoles, they absolutely count.

But hey, if you're gonna be that guy AND ignore the post-PS3 consoles that all launched at higher prices, how about the Neo Geo? Because that launched at $650 in 1991 money.

The point is that no, the PS3 does not hold "have the dubious honor of most expensive console at launch" by any definition of that concept.
