Is the PS3 a success?

There is no correct answer It is and it is not. It depends on your point of view.

For fans it certainly is because they buy every system from Sony no matter what. So numbers dont really mean alot to them just the games. And tbh the PS3 has an excellent library.

For objective people and I am pretty sure even Sony it is not. Because it lost to Nintendo and most importantly to the former newcomer Microsoft. (the PS3 has now sold more than the 360 but the fact that it took SO long and that the Xbox went from 24m to 80m shows what I mean) Now 7 years are over and the PS3 sits at 80m. 70m less than the PS2.

If the PS3 will be lucky it will reach 120m which would still be 30m less than the PS2. (but I highly doubt it will reach 120m because it took the console 7years to reach 80m while it was new fresh and totally hyped with a at least 5 years of blockbuster games. How will it reach another 40m when its "old" and probably no Sony games will come out in 2015+? Sony has to kill the PS3 to avoid having a Sony own competitor to the PS4 system.

Sony's PS3 is basically the only loser this gen.

So again it depends on what one defines as a success.

P.S. I went with maybe. Because everything else is just opinion not fact.

This.
