But it sure did. Any other console would have died at $599, with a poor game library, and late ports of 360 games that were actually inferior. Not the PS3 though. Sony is selling the PS4 based on brand power alone. It's a position any other company would like to be. The thing doesn't even have a system seller yet, jesus. |
The brand had nothing to do with it. Sony had to blow so much money to turn things around. I think the numbers are in the billions, and I believe they were never close to recovering those losses back.

A little outdated, but it should paint a good picture on what a financial disaster the ps3 was, 2010 was the year the ps3 becam profitable.
