Considering the high specs upon release and thus entry pricing (and thus being sold below actual costs) I think the PS3 is already successful at this point as it's still considerably outpacing the then cheaper original playstation taking equal timeframes and despite the downfall of PC gaming is still considerably outpacing XBox taking equal timeframes as well:

Sony is a very diverse consumer electronics company, I think the PS3 helped them considerably to advance home consumer electronics market (such as also making Blu-Ray a solid movie format).
