Do you remember when PS3 was going to be Sony's last console?

That was back then when analyst believed that PS3 would end up an disaster for the firm. And it did? The PS3 was worth it?

I don't quite get the question marks. Seems a bit out place by the words that precede them.

Anyhow a lot of that PS3 being a disaster is rubbish. PS3 didn't put Sony or a large number of Japanese companies in financial difficulties.

It wasn't responsible for the sharp drop in sales of Sony TVs, DVDs, cameras .,etc

The recession was.

Had the PS3 been a total disaster but Sony still propered from it's range of other products it still wouldn't have killed Sony.

 

Sony's entertainment was already in trouble before the recession started. They sold millions of PS2's with a profit and I think maybe a small profit or small lose with PSP but even then the numbers were huge red thanks to the PS3.. Their will be not many investors who think now that the PS3 was a good thing.  They prefer to see a Wii/DS/3DS..

Sony wanted to make the PS3 like the PS2 and they totally failed.   They saw that the big succes with PS2 was the dvd player and they hoped to do the same with PS3 and blu ray.     Remember how in 2007 sony marketed the PS3 as an blu ray player that is cheap.   Haters loved it and lovers were mad because they should also market it as an gaming machine..
