It does not matter which console sold the most units in a generation. What determines whether a console is a success or not is if a company makes profit from it. In a Sony financial report released a while back it stated that Sony is now out of the red with the PS3. Since they are out of the red now and since the games are only getting bigger and better things can only get better for the PS3 hence the PS3 is not a failure.

Guess that makes XBOX 1 a failure. No matter if more than 30 million people bought it and if great games came out for it. If a console does not generate profit it is a failure.

 

Sony stated that SCE is out of the red, not PS3. I think it's safe to assume that PS2 and PSP made at least 500M profit last calendar quarter, which would mean that PS3 made 350M loss. Xbox sold 25M, not 30. But you're right, it was a failure. @London calling: I think you should guarantee atleast 8%, not 80. @John Doe: But it's not going to sell as you pointed. PS3 most propably spikes this year. And sales decline faster than you estimated.

 Why do you say that? Most think that FF XIII and GT 5 will be out next year, boosting sales world wide. There is also the Rockstar exclusives, Uncharted 2, next Ratchet, next team Ico project, GoW III and plenty of others to keep people interested in 2009. By then, the PS3's price will have decreased significantly, maybe even down to $300, the online service will be much refined, and there will be backwards compatibility. I think 2009 and 2010 will be the biggest years for the PS3
