fooflexible said: Has any console in the history of consoles ever sold poorly, or at least on the weak side, then came out strong after? ps3 has alot of potential and has alot of possibilities for the future, but I can't shake the idea that once a console or really any product is established as being not good, or weak, or simply unsuccessful it's impossible to revive. I tend to get the impression that once the masses get something in their head it's almost impossilbe to get out.
The only console I can think of that was highly successful after starting out slowly was the original Playstation; I suspect the only reason the Playstation even survived was because of how poorly the Saturn performed and the time difference between when the Playstation and N64 were released.
