How the heck did Sony manage to retake the console market again?

The PS3 also outsold the 360 most of the years the two were on market. The PS3 sold a ton of units overall, it just ate tons of money on the way to doing so, since Sony threw too much in there and made it too expensive to produce. 

Also the 360's failure rate was downplayed massively and was a bigger factor for sales as people were rebuying it, I personally believe that it was at the very least 30 percent but some anylists say it could have been over half by the time the th gen consoles released, like 55 percent or something insane like that.

Yeah, I have no idea what the global failure rate was, but I had 4 360's red ring on me. I'd like to think that other consumers had much better experiences, but it certainly was problematic to some of us.
