• This generation 2 of 3 cannot really be called a success from a financial point of view.
• This generation 2 of 3 cannot really be called a success from a hardware point of view as both the 360 and PS3s crap themselves too much.
• This generation 3 of 3 can be called a success from a gamers perspective as the widest market ever can be satisfied with the offerings on the market and they are more differentiated than last generation by a significant degree, you can thank the Wii for this mostly.

I pretty much agree with this.  Though do PS3's break a lot?

 

Compared to the Wii they do. Also the earlier ones aren't that reliable due to the heat + dust sucker factor of their hardware design and the use of poor thermal paste and early generation lead free solder which is unreliable and will definately crack over time.

Yea....1% of Wiis fail, and like 1.5% of PS3s fail. 50% more, right?

Bullpoop. Theres no supporting evidence for such a low failure rate. There is evidence to the contrary however.

You're talking about earlier models being unreliable?  Just google "PS3 failure rate".
