I still find the arguments here funny.. "The PS3 is failing" "No it's not failing" "yes it is" "no it isn't".
Instead of throwing stupid words back and forth. Lets examine this a little closer. The first step is, explain what you mean by failing. You can look at this in different ways.
The first way is, the PS3 has been able to keep up to PS2 hardware sales, it has been able to keep up with PS1 hardware sales, so it isn't failing.

What? Not it hasn't. It's not even close.... what are you talking about.
PS3 is way behind PS2 even when you ignore the fact that the PS2 was much more staggered when it came to launches.

SO WHAT??? Just because its not selling as good as the PS2 doesn't mean is failing. GameCube couldn't outsell N64, N64, couldn't outsell SNES, SNES couldn't outsell the NES. But i don't see anybody saying these Nintendo consoles are failure. You don't expect every next Sony console to outsell the last one do you? PS3 is about to outsell all last gen consoles besides PS2,which is best selling console in the world

You don't think most people consider the N64 and the Gamecube failures?
Most people do. They aren't talking about it though because it's the past.
Did you miss all the articles about how the Gamecube was going to force Nintendo out of the console market?
I suppose you could argue they weren't failures because they didn't lose Nintendo money. (See above chart) But then again they might have and the portables just made it up.

No, i never really saw any anti Nintendo blogs in last generation. Nintendo made profit thanks to Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color, Gamecube has almost nothing to do with it. And i think the people who think N64 is a failure are rare to find. It finished second above Saturne and below PS1.

Even Nintendo refers to the Gamecube as a failure.

Even Nintendo called it a failure. Sadly this interview isn't here anymore due to 1ups changing their site but here is the article link.

EGM has an interesting and shockingly straightforward interview with George Harrison, senior vice president at Nintendo of America, about the past, present, and future of the video gaming company. In a nutshell, Harrison admits that Nintendo has made some mistakes, specifically with the GameCube, and asks that Nintendo fans keep the faith. He talks about the decision to not include DVD functionality in the Cube, the fact that it wasn't backwards-compatible, and that it doesn't have the good gaming consistency needed to thrive in a three console market.
