The PS3 did its best after breaking even. I'll try to find the numbers to support that. Also, cell wasn't required for the PS3 to bolster great graphics, as the 360 would show.
So the 5billion$ loss argument is a cop-out to deride how great Sony did regardless of its mistakes. The power of the brand is something to be considered, we could NOT say the same thing about Nintendo's Gamecube or Nintendo64, as fantastic as they were.

The $5 billion loss isn't a cop-out at all. It highlights how strong the PlayStation brand really was this generation. It couldn't operate anywhere close to a profit and it's still stuck in third place. Sony was lucky to get bailed out by third parties.

Read my edit. And 3rd parties worked on the PS3 regardless of its flagrant mistakes DUE to brand power. Your point supports my argument.
