Is the PS3 a failure?

Haha Im sorry, I dont think I was clear at all :) 85m units sold is GREAT, but if you consider that they "lost" almost as many consoles compared to the gen before, it doesnt look as impressive. PS2 sold close to 160m and DOMINATED the market, and along comes PS3 which drops everything PS2 had build up. 160m - 85m, 75% market share - 30%. I mean, that is NOT good. But 85m in itself is a great number, but compared to its predecessor, its barely even good...

I don't like to judge something's success based on previous numbers. 80M is great either way. I see your point though, when compared to PS2, it sold poorly. 

Anything compared to the PS2 sold poorly.
