^^ It was still, in a sense, a business failure when the product isn't raking in the kind of profit needed to call it a day. Are things looking up for Sony, no doubt, the PS3 in itself will go down as a very memorable piece of technology. However, so will the losses it generated and the bind it put Sony in, even though it very well may have just paved a more successful future for the PlayStation 4.

Just a thought.

but that is also based on what your plan is for the product off the start:

Sony states that all PLAYSTATION SYSTEMS ARE ON A 10 YEAR CYCLE PLAN!

how anyone could state that the PS3 is a failure when in some part's of the world the PLAYSTATION 3 is not even a year old yet, it was just released.

Sony released the PS3 at one of the highest cost game system's ever, there is no way any company would expect the system at that price to outsell a lesser cost unit. that less cost unit has a large selling component vs' the much higher cost system. that would be very unreasonable to even think that , not even Sony would have expected that. that's like saying the town car is going to sell more unit's than a much cheaper car its just not going to happen.

we do not know what "business plan" sony has on the playstation brand on a per system basis, but even as it is selling over 25+
 million unit's world wide in some cases the PS3 was just released show's that in the short ammount of time the PS3 has been on the market Sony has sold a good amount  of system's.

and

not only that they have not only their own system's to compete with

you have Microsoft's and nintendo's, there is plenty of system's on the market , an for many consumer's not enough free time to play them all .
