Just in terms of sales, yes. It did remarkably well for being $600 and releasing a year after its main rival.

But for Sony, no, it was a failure. It bled money the first few years, and they lost massive market share.

That brings up the question: What kind of sales were Sony expecting?

Hard to say. They couldn't possibly have expected PS2 type numbers (120+ million) when they priced it at $600. I'm guessing they also didn't expect last place and lowest market share.
