PS3 by far. It was released almost a year later than the competition, it was priced far out of reach of most comsumers and well above the competition, its launch titles were average whilst its first year titles were not much better, it had inferior(albeit free) online gaming, the list goes on. In around 2009-2010 things starting really improving when the price dropped, bluray won the next-generation media war, great exclusives started pouring in, Uncharted(this series really did wonders for the console). It was never going to beat the Wii as that console had an extremely popular gimmick inherent to it which does not occur every console cycle but for the PS3 to beat the 360(although by a small margin) with all it had going against it(a year less in the market, much higher price, no dude/bro tie-ins with the likes of COD and Gears) and to sell well over 80 million units... That is something. I recall Gabe Newell publicly stating Sony should just discontinue the PS3 and start over... That is how bleak the situation was for Sony and yet they prevailed. The Wii U/Vita will never see a come back like that.
