The ps3 was a failure. This is already known. Will probably sell more than the 360 which the sony fans claim is a victory, but they fail to realise that the ps3 cost sony billions and no profit, which makes it the ultimate failure.

Glass half empty perspective. On the other foot, to some, it must ache, just a tad, knowing that Sony's worst console will still outsell Microsoft's best.

Anyway, in regards to financials, no doubt the PS3 is a serious thorn in Sony's side. However, their current future looks far brighter than the pre-release days of the system, and with mistakes should come learning + improvment. So far, they're on the right track.

Its not what matter's than, It is what matter's Now. Sony Lost a ton of money and the TV part of the company is now on it's 9th straight year of Loss, Sony have been restructuring and cost cutting and streamlining the company. With the retail price budget limit they set for the PSVita and it look's to be the same with the PS4. Sony is well ahead to change the company from a Loss leader to a profit generating part of the Company. Could they fail at the task , yes they could, but the fact they are cutting loss'es now is a good sign they are on the right track.
