We, as consumers, don't care of the "financially speaking" success of the PS3.

From a gamer perspective, hell yeah it's a success. Best console of this generation IMO.

You can't be more wrong with this asumption. A wealthy company means less money has to go to pay debt+interests, so more R+D budget, better first party games and they can sell cheaper consoles in the long run.

I agree with Kynes on this the question is not about "your" gamer perspective. Also keep in mind that you are not "we" :) Obivously I'm not either, so you should let everyone speak for their own.

Back OT, I'm voting no for 3 reasons:

1) Financial side. 
2) I'm playing a lot online and the overall online experience with Xbox Live was more appealing/fun to me than the Playstation Network (no debate please, this my personal oppinion anyways). 
3) Maybe related to the first one, but the fact that Sony spent so many money on the Cell architecture to finally come out with a console as powerfull as the 360. This is failure on itself.

Overall, I'm really disapointed with this console and it was a mistake to buy not one but two...
(I wanted another Bluray player for another room in the house and at this time I did not really played with the PS3 yet; so I thought it was a good move to buy a second one instead of a standalone player, big mistake)
