Dumb, dumb, dumb response. Because the Wii came along, which has nothing to do with Sony, the PS3 is a failure. Businesses are successful to the extent they make money. It looks like PS3 will make money this gen, though it hasn't hit the black yet. Blu-ray will end up contributing, too.

It's fanboyism to say that something fails because some other company took 'first place' in raw sales.

That may be so, but I'm pretty sure nearly everybody here considers the GameCube a failure, even though it made pretty decent profits.  Besides, even without the Wii's existence, when comparing the PS3 to its predecessor it doesn't look all that great.  If Windows Vista or its successor were/are never accepted as widely as XP, for example, people would consider it a failure, even if it does make tons of profit.

@Blue Strife: Again, your opinion on the Wii games compared to PS360 games is not the same as everybody else's.  Gamerankings doesn't mean anything when it comes to sales.  People buy what they like, and in this case, it's looking like they simply like what the Wii offers better than the 360 / PS3 does.  If graphics or the "hardcore" games were so important people would be buying more 360's, which is cheaper in some regions than the Wii.
