Except that the ps3 is , somewhat ,succesfull only in Europe. The fact that it's not on xbox360-levels of failure in Japan doesn't make it a success there (5.7 million sold in 4 full years in your home territory is not success) and it's definately not succesful in the U.S being a very distant third. All this for the succesor of the PLAYSTATION 2, mind you. As for the question of this thread let's wait until we get the December reults from both the U.S and Japan (NPD&Media Create) and we'll see what cancels what.... |
You don't have to finish first to be successful, if that were the case the 360 is a MASSIVE failure compared to its competition just as much as PS3 or any other sales product. When you factor in what the PS3 has been through that absolutely countered the brand recognition that PS2 brought for it. It may not have started successfully and only just bloomed in Europe in late 2007 but to say it's only been successful in Europe when it has consistently outsold it's competition in Japan for almost a year now and completely bounced back outselling it's competition for many weeks in their biggest territories throughout the year...I wouldn't call that 'somewhat' successful, more like succeeding with 2011 right around the corner.
