Is the PS3 a success?

No it's not a success. It lost too much money to ever be labelled a success really. There's only 2 reasons the doom and gloom predicted regarding the PS3 didn't come true, Sony did a blinder on shutting their mouth and stop spouting crap disguised as facts in their PR statements and the 360 had it's hideous hardware failure issues. Had the 360 been reliable at launch the PS3 would have been stillborn.

For people saying there was just doom and gloom for no reason back in 2007/2008, I assure you there was every good reason.

no it wasn't

The console back then was overpriced, underpowered

selling for almost 300 dollars LESS than what it's worth is "overpriced" how about more expensive than the competiton, and lol at underpowerd, the slim added hardware I didn't know about??

and it took a long time and many exclusives to try and sway that opinion.

was the only problem it had early on, but those games came and all the haters STFU

Both the PS3 and Sony deserved every thread wrote about them for their arrogance and thankfully they listened to devs, consumers, journalists and fixed the issues that people complained most about.

 

P.S. I don't think it was worth the hit Sony took to get Bluray in the PS3 but I certainly appreciate it now (although I'd have been just as happy for HD-DVD to have won tbh).

anyway: number 1 selling console of the year, currently has the best software support of the 3, no longer selling console for a loss, succeeding in laying the ground work for next gen console better than it's competitors, sounds like a success to me
