yeah my personal predictions are somewhere round there too!

PS3 will in the end be seen as a good success


 

Yea selling less than Half of your previous predessor. Losing all your market share from 70% to 20%. Losing all ur profit from the PS2 gen and losing tons of exclusives is a good success. Yea WOOT!!!

it may have had high expectations but just because something doesnt meet them doesnt mean it isnt successful. i mean look at kobe people expected him to surpass jordans skills. that never happened so i guess he wasnt a successful basketball player and was a waste of resources for the lakers right

 

He wasn't sure but he still is the best there is atm and yes better than Lebron. PS3 might not have been as good as the PS2 but isnt even second place this gen. Its last and continues to loss ground and money. Atleast Game cube made tons of money. Also Kobe has won championships, MVP.

Kobe overall is not the better player and he hasn't won a championship without Shaq.    And why does the PS3 continue to 'lose money'?   Gamecube hardly made 'tons' of money.  It just simply didn't end up losing money.    The PS3 will  be making money by the end of this generation.

 

 

(1) And Michael Jordan wouldn't have won without Scottie Pippen. Ur point?? Look at all championship teams they always have atleast two superstars from Miami, San Antonio, Detroit, Boston. No player can do it on himself not even Jordan.

 

(2) You got to be kidding?? Take off your fanboy glasses. Here is a chart below for you. No explanation needed. It looks like Nintendo made more money than Sony during the PS2 gen. I know GBA is included but still they made a huge profit. Even with strong PS2, PSP sales last two  years SONY took a huge loss.
