if its profitable and not gone in say 2-3 years, to me means success


This!


Bit simplistic for me. Just because a product is still available doesnt mean its sucessful.

Some companies really are stubborn. Just look at Amstrad in the UK with the e-mailer. Could still buy one four years after launch and it was profitable. It was also the lauching stock of the techworld.

I reckon we need to see third parties embrace the device and sales equal to at least 20 percent of the Sony install base in the first 6 months. If it ever reaches 40 percent penetration then its a success.

If it fails to get to 20 percent within the first year it will struggle.
