Really, this. People expected the PS3 to explode in sales but instead, it just sold really well. I think we even had graphs that showed the PS3 was selling better than the PS2 when you alligned launches. It lost a lot of money, sure. The reason it looked like it was doing badly was because the Xbox 360 was doing better than anyone expected. Hell, how many people posted in threads saying "The PS3 outsold the 360 every year!". |
Sales rose 1000% after the release of the slim model in 2009 - the year that marked the turnaround for the ps3. Before then it was selling worse than PS2.
