Here's why I consider it to be doing horribly.
The PS1 and PS2 absolutely dominated and heading into this generation, many and including Sony would've expected nothing different. To see them so far behind Nintendo is hard to believe almost if you look at the previous two generations. Also, many would've thought that Sony would've closed the gap and even surpassed the 360 as the HD market leader. They obviously haven't.
I also think they're doing poorly based on their past success since the PS3 has now had a launch, three Christmas/holiday seasons along being on the market for more than two years and still hasn't passed the 20m mark. Also, now with the holidays behind us, sales slow down. They might pass 20 million so but then what? They won't cross 25 million until the end of the year unless they have a big price drop. So it will have taken them three years just to sell 25 million consoles.
Tell me, how is that not bad for Sony?
I'll come up with something better eventually...
