Its a failure for sony, they lost a lot of money.
-Free online, no one would want to buy a sibcription from sony at the time the least after spending 600 bucks
- exlcusives that really utilized the cell cpu cuz third party didnt
- research and devolopement even into the cpu itself, the cell
- they offered the the fat ps3 at 600$ while it costed 900$ to produce at launch
- they had to spent alot of money into online infastructure which they didnt before while MS had one before dueto being a huge software company
- they also spent a lot of money on ps+ to make subscriptions from sony atractive
- ah yeah research and devolopement into blue ray too
The managed to be close to the 360 and now even outselling it but they burned alot of money. But yeah sony in the end didnt end up like sega, the ps3 had worse start than the sega saturn it could have been worse.
