2 things has to be admitted; PS3 did in fact an incredible come back after it's fiasco of a launch. It did quite poorly to begin with, but turning that ship around, and now being a VERY close third is very impressive. That's one thing
The other thing we have to admit is that PS3 cost Sony A LOT of money. It's profitable now, and it'll continue to make money for some years to come, but it'll never TRULY offset the money that it lost. It might have earned back every cent and dime it initially lost, but it will never be a big financial success. Never. It has lost too much money for that.
What we as gamers all can hope for, is that Sony learned a great deal of things by the PS3; let's hope PS4 kicks ass! |
We keep getting told that it did so awful at the start yet launch aligned we are also told it outsold the 360 so it obviously was never that bad to begin with. Its a lie spread by Sony fans to make the situation appear worse than it was.

Here's the easiest way to look at it - the PS3 may have always been set-up to outsell the 360, but BECAUSE of the failings of its launch (really till about 2009), it held itself back from such a reality, sooner.
Make no mistake, it is this gen's biggest loser (regardless of passing the 360), but it isn't a lie that it had a bad launch.

Thank you for at least posting a reasoned argument to try and debunk my point, shame Max didn't have your civility. Lie was a strong word but I think its fair to say there are some fans who paint the launch as being far worse than it actually was. The console was too expensive and lacked games, 2007 when the 40GB was released saw the start of it being fixed. That's less than 12 months really.

The shame is you are paranoid and always blame Sony fans for something and used flawed logic to get your conclusions. Such as 2 consoles launch badly. One console beat the other console. Therefore it didnt launch badly.
