I understand where you're coming from. I've thought this myself on occasion, because the PS3 did start alright and maintained it all the way up to 2009 when the slim gave it renewed momentum. In 2007 & 2008 there wasn't really much of a difference between the two HD consoles in sales.
Again, I just think it has to do with perception. All around the internet; even all through the gaming media, the console was constantly called out as being doomed and a failure. Overpriced; no games etc. etc. People expected more from the successor to what could well end up being the highest selling home console of all time and complete and utter dominant force in the market.
So yeah. The comeback wasn't in terms of sales, because despite everything it has sold 'alright' from the beginning. The comeback was in terms of perception of the console and the brand. In my opinion.
