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.

Yea its simple, however, to me if a company sets out to do something and they profit and its around years after (meaning the company is still making money off it) then it is a sucessful. Not necessarily a huge success but a success nevertheless. But i am also easy to please.
