Ps3 never been a complete failure not even when it launched for $600. The thing is that Sony really went overboard with PS3, they should just had made a console with similar specs to Xbox 360 and slapped on a Blu-ray drive on there and they would have won this generation hands down (over M$ anyway).

But noooo, they have to make a console with a retarded architecture, 10 year old controller without rumble, worse launch games than PS1, more expensive than the 3DO and the list goes on and on. If it where any other company than Sony PS3 would have been dead long ago.

I have never understood the complaint about the PS3's "10 year old" controller.  This is mostly from 360 "fanboys" (not accussing you of being one) who are grabbing at straws for arguments.  First of all, it does have the same setup as the Dual Shock of old, but it is hardly the same controller from it's first version.  It features analog input on all buttons, L2 & R2 trigger buttons, Six-Axis controls, and bluetooth connectivity.  Also, are these same 360 fans really going to complain next gen when there controller is "10 years old", too?  I highly doubt it.  My opinion is if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Oh and the 3DO was $700 at launch.  The PS3 was $600 for its most expensive version.
