Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo. All Three Consoles are a Success.

The PS3 was not a success. They went from 150 mill to probably 90 or so, and either way they have been loosing tons of money this gen. An even though the PS3 would end up being a project that made money, Sony still sacrificed a lot for it to happen, not to mention that the income won't even come close to PS2. And I haven't brought up the fact that Sony lost millions off players to Xbox, and they didn't win the gen (compared to last when they sold around 7 times more than their closes competitor).

No, the PS3 was still a success, just not as successfull as the PS2.

Besides, with Sony and Microsoft having such relatively equal share of the market it's really created allot of healthy competition which benefits us gamers, cheaper hardware and more features! Win win!

Plus the other flipside of the coin, was that the PS3 was a big pusher of Blu-Ray, which indirectly makes Sony money.

They lost 5 billion dollars.

That's the thing.
Sony might have made an overall profit thanks to the Playstation pushing Blu-ray.
