"...The PS3 launched at $500-600 with hardly a compelling exclusive a year after the 360 launched for $300-400, and yet that initial laughable cock-up of a console is going to pass 70M in sales and it outsells the 360 (Total sales divided by years on market). I think that’s a testament to just how powerful the Playstation brand is, and just how relevant it is. Sony can utterly and completely mess up the launch of a console, and then it goes on to sell 70M. That not only shows the brand is powerful..."
By the same period of time the PS2 was well over the 100 million mark. That's a massive drop and it just goes on to show that the Playstation brand is as fragile as any other brand when you make bad decisions. More mistakes in the future can reduce even more the Playstation market share putting the company in a serious situation. I wouldn't bet my money on Sony, Specially after the PS3 and its market share loss, the failed attempt to grab the portable market and a second portable that seems to be lost and with a not so bright future ahead.
