The PS3 is a success story thus far, however I feel as though one of the kjey features that it is missing that made the PS2 such a success is the common touch. The PS2 was cheap and easy to produce games for and so this added to lots of movie tie ins, Product based games (think disney/lego) and popular based games (Singstar etc...).

The wii has taken this crown from the PS3 now.

However I feel as though to be deemed a success the PS3 must reach a sales figure of at least 40 million by the end of the current generation. It is on target for this but it needs to keep up.

so going from 130-140 million to 40 million and losing billions of dollars and exclusives is a success now days?

Well what he's saying isn't even true. The PS2 was not easy to produce games for. The PS2 was a pain in the ass to develop for due to the emotion engine.

I mean, why else do you think they can't get a working emulator on the PS3. Sony themselves... the company that made the damn thing.

Now Dreamcast.  That was an easy system to make games on.  If that was what made it successful Dreamcast would of won.  Dreamcast you just used a format based off of Sega's Arcade machines.  That's why you still see Dreamcast releases every once in a while.
