Did it fail financially? Yes (lifetime)
Did it fail its brand history? Yes

Pretty simple really.

Would disagree with failing brand history.

Many iconic PS franchises succeeded on PS3 and it also came up with tons of new GOTY winning AAA IP's, while maintaining a balance of 1st and 3rd party content. Its what PS does best and it proved it.

The only limiting factor was the price of the console.

I use the word limiting and not failure because at the end of the day, its still the 4th highest selling home console and theres only 1 non sony console that has beaten it.

If thats considered a failure, good luck to every other console in history (and the majority of consoles yet to be released)

......I meant compared to PS1 and PS2, and most likely PS4 lifetime sales.I know that you know this, it was pretty obvious I think, and you just spinned it. Your answer wasn't the point at all I made, which was as simple as you could get.

You are also just aggreeing with me. I allready mentioned that by itself on its own merits, it isnt a commerical failure

OP is clearly mentioning other consoles so youre the one spinning it by limiting its comparison to other even more successful systems when theres no need to do that other than show PS3 is a bad light since thats the only way it is possible to show the 4th highest home console in history in a bad light.

My main disagreement was with your third point calling it a brand failure. It wasnt even close. Infact the PS4's success is largely due to the message sony sent via the PS3's life and is why people have faith in the games that will be coming, even though theres not many now. PS3 will always be there for that comparison.
