that depends on what you describe as a failure, had the PS3 remained worldwide with the same two initial SKUs i don't think it would be tracking close to the 360, or above the GC (despite the best time of the GCs sales life coming from the first year)
To Sony, anything that stops them losing extra money is a good thing, so although the new SKUs (to me at least) are far from being good for the customer, they have certainly helped.
