Ps3 winning next gen console race? so far? guess its how you look at it

stof said: Wikipedia - Despite a highly-promoted launch and a host of cutting-edge technologies, the system's high price ($699.95 USD at release) and an over-saturated console market prevented the 3DO from ever achieving any real market penetration. Now add a PS and subtract a DO from the consoles name and that sentence still seems frightfully accurate.

You've being way overdramatic here. No way PS3 will be a 3DO-esque failure. Just no way. However, I think most will consider it a relative failure if it loses to either of the other two, or even if it ends up in a three-way tie, given the results last time around. And if that happens, it certainly is a huge failure from Sony's point of view financially (not to mention future finances due to the damaging of the very valuable Playstation brand).
