Okay i'm done with you, Stopped reading when you called the ps3 an "utter flop". Grow up, stop trolling and learn a little. Dont even care what the rest of you post said.


Calling the PS3 an "utter flop" is only bad because he did not explain what he meant by that ...

When you consider that the PS3 sold at (roughly) half the rate of the PS2 there is a supportable argument that the PS3 could be seen as a flop/failure relative to the PS2. If you add profit/losses to the mix the PS3 can be seen as a disaster.

In contrast, in the grand scheme of things, the PS3 still sold far more units than most consoles and will likely end up as one of the best selling non-market leading consoles it can also be argued that the PS3 was not a flop/failure.

As with everything, it all depends on definitions.


The ps2 still has about 6 years of sales on the ps3, so by no definition can it be called a flop, nearly 50 million ps2 where sold along side of the ps3. He was blatantly trolling, and that's why i disregarded his post. His over all tone is hateful and full of spite.  I will not sit here and have childish hate full arguments with people. I have better things to do.

You're forgetting that the PS2 sold 127 Million units by the end of 2007, the PS3 has been selling at roughly half the rate of the PS2 as I said ...

With a new generation of consoles being released, the sales of current generation consoles will decline rather rapidly, and beyond 2014 there will be no meaningful sales of Wii, PS3 or XBox 360 systems. The PS3 will never sell to 66% of the total level that the PS2 did; and it may have difficulty selling 60% of the PS2's total.
