The 5th highest selling home console of all time (after being passed by the PS4 in recent months) is considered "unsuccessful" because it didn't sell as well as the first and second best selling consoles of all time. That doesn't sound too "unsuccessful" to me.

Who said that? That hasnt been the argument at all.

"42% of marketshare lost"

"86 million in isolation sounds great, but when you consider PS3 lost nearly half of PS2's marketshare"

"[PS3] gutted Sony's console marketshare."

"But, this completely ignores everything I pointed out about lost marketshare, massive financial losses which completely erased their own profits from their unbelievably successful previous gen, and substantial amount of lost customers. "

"PS3 still gutted Sony's console marketshare."

Yeah, no one has made an argument that the PS3 is considered "unsuccessful" because it never sold as well as the PS2. Nope. Never happened.
