The PS3 is not a failure among the 3 consoles, it only didnt do that great when considered to its series, that some people thought it was going to dominate the market entirely. Normally, the PS3 is doing fine, but yes, coming off of a HUGE 200 MILLION console franchise.. Thats where the people can start throwing the word failure around, though for me thats wayy too harsh of a word as the other Playstation series took off only in later years too (just as the 360 has pulled up more in its second year- its a very obvious trend lol ;P and many other consoles are considered 'successful with this kind of position.. so yeah.. failure is just out of the question). And at first before i heard much, Yeah, i thought it was going to dominate. but then i heard all the things it was going to have and i knew it was going to cost more than most expected (and then in other countries.. jeez those poor guys lol), Thats where i kinda backed up a bit, i still thought the PS3 was going to do well, but there was no practical way it could at the cost of price, but im not complaining haha i bought mine at launch still! Personally i think had the PS3 been the one out first though im sure its sales would have been dramatically higher despite the price heh, but then we might not have had a price drop for years and well all know we couldnt live with that. |
The PS2 has never sold 200 million, and playstation as a brand has sold closer to 270 mill including PSP and PS3.
