Comparing any console to the PS2 to determine if a console was successful is unfair. I doubt any console will match it's sales ever or it will be generations later when the gaming community is large enough for a console to sell that greatly and others still do well.
If you compare the PS3 to it's generation, it got 2nd place in sales and the 360 was MS's best selling console. If sony made a profit from it then I think it did well. In some ways, it was a failure. It was the only sony console to not get 1st place in sales in it's generation and I think it hurt the playstation brand a bit.
