| Bursche said: Yes it is successful, in the same way the Xbox was successful. It broke into a market that was otherwise monopolized and took some marketshare and set the foundation for future consoles. While it is obviously not the winner, it has so far been the best competitor against Nintendo in handhelds. As long as Sony doesnt try to push another format with their next one, UMD's FTL!, they are only going to grow. |
Slightly different than the xbox in that it actually makes Sony money, where the xbox 1 was a money hole with the hope of turning a profit with the 360. The other thing is that Sony had the very successful playstation brand where xbox brand was unknown at the time. I feel like management make a couple of wrong turns and it could have been more successful, but this kind of competition with Nintendo in the handheld market is unheard of. So it would be hard to not classify it as a success.
