I'm gonna use the Dreamcast just to play devil's advocate.
It had a ton of great games at the time. Maybe 90% of their best games were exclusive. I covered alll genres. It introduced me to online gaming, voice control, analog triggers, the VMU, open world games, etc. From a gamer's standpoint, I was in heaven.....but it killed Sega.
I didn't care about Sega's sales or profit margin at the time. I just cared about having fun. Now, I know Sony isn't sega and the PS3 isn't the Dreamcast (initially, another console was compared to the Dreamcast....) but you may see some similarities. Would you call the Dreamcast a success? It's a rhetorical question.
