The PS3 was a failure.

At first, yes. But I can't call a console that sold 80 million units a failure.

The truth is, everybody was a Winner in the 7th gen, the 360, Wii, PS3, PSP and DS all made a lot of money, nobody failed.

But yes, Playstation had to make some big changes during the gen to win back their fans. They spent a lot of time and money to give their fans what they wanted, and it worked.

They all sold well. That's for sure.

I'll have to double check but I think Xbox 360 barely made a profit (they spent a billion right off the bat trying to correct the Red Ring of Death) and a lot of people claim that the PS3 actually lost the equivalent of everything earned during the PS2 era.

 

*Edit* nope. Both appear to be losers. https://www.vg247.com/2013/01/07/xbox-360-and-ps3-losses-total-8-billion-ex-sony-employee-paints-grim-future/
