Is the PS3 a failure?

[leo-j]

Ps3 introduced psn, ps3 pushed Sony to develop first party studios on par or better than any other publisher in the game industry, ps3 pushed Sony to be innovative, ps3 in those aspects was a success, but ps3 also tarnished the PlayStation brand(but later Sony's first party studios brought it back), and wiped out the majority of money made during the ps2 era, so it was also a failure in those aspects
