It has an absolutely abysmal launch. That said, it did eventually best 360 in hardware sales despite:
1. Having a garbage launch. 2. Coming out a year later. 3. Not having as much software sold. 4. 360 having many multiple-unit buyers in its userbase due to RRoD.
The main factors that returned a bit of edge to PS3 was the inclusion of a Blu-ray Driver and free online. When compared to Vita, the PS3 was a shining success. |
The Vita was a blip on Sony's radar. They cut their losses quick, and it had a much smaller impact on Sony than the PS3. The PS3 lost Sony like 5 billion dollars (when you'd expect several billion dollars of profit over the course of a generation). The PS3 can not be compared to the PS Vita - the PS3 was just so, so much worse, by at least an order of magnitude. We're lucky Sony even decided to continue with gaming after 2006 and 2007.
