DId it provide the type of games that justified its existence? yes
Is the PS3 the underdog console that overcame all odds to become a hit or is the PS3 the console that was groomed for to be king, only to be beaten by its two rivals? No

Consider the PS3's competition. Consider the PS3's legacy. Consider the PS3's obstacles. Consider the PS3's contributions. Consider all of this and tell me if Sony and the gaming world are better off with the PS3 on the market.

well when you put it like that. not one of these 7th gen. failures of consoles should have been made.

You can do bad in a couple and still be a success if you do well where it really counts!  Those where just rhetorical questions for people to consider.  I'm sure there were other questions like "Did the PS3 help you get laid" or something.  Take what's important to you--games, graphics, profit, sales, sexification, whatever--and decide if the PS3 succeeded in your eyes.

My point of view:  It lost money and it didn't sell as well as expected but it bounced back strong, provided some great games, and some impressive features.  Was it an overall success or a failure?  Well......I did vote.

 

*edit*  You know what?  I just looked at the OP and I NEVER DID VOTE in this thread!  I don't even know who's winning!
