Does it really have to be a bigger success? On the technical side, it has already settled the Blu-ray/HD-DVD battle. On the money side, it would of course be good for any manufacturer to follow with a successor product that is more profitable than a predecessor product. We are in year 2 of a new product that is planned to last ten years, so lacking a time machine everyone is invited to guess whether Sony managment in 8 years considers PS3 a failure or not. looking back two years, it is obvious that financially the PS3 development did not bring the results Sony planned but that ship has sailed now and they have to make the best out of the situation as it stands now. (Also mind you that Sony was essentially a dysfunctional company a few years ago so I am actually surprised they can achieve profitability within 2 years after launch).
