Success or Failure?

I don't really agree, I think think that a system is a success if it does what the company intended it to do. The PS2 was a success, and the PS3 so far is a failure because they both were made to be market leaders which is clear by their loss taking strategies. If the PS3 sells 30 million it's a failure, but for gamecube to sell 30 million (it didn't even get that high) it would be decent.

You cant compare the GC and the ps3 in any way, right now there are easily more than 30 million people that want a ps3, but cant have it due to the cost of the console. The ps3 is a 10 year system. It is nowhere near being a failure if it just came out started selling bad, but look at it now its out selling the 360 even at North America.

god, here comes the 10 year argument again.  I can't start an conversation with you about this if your argument is based on the fact that everyone will want the system when it hits 200$ and it will have a 10 year lifespan.
