Something like the WiiU or Vita can be regarded as a failure...
But any device that sells 50+ million devices isn't a failure. Heck any device that brings home the profits probably isn't regarded as a failure.

The PS3 didn't bring home the profits.  It lost Sony a lot of money.  That is why it is a failure, regardless of how many consoles it sold.

The Playstation 3 did become profitable in 2008.

That was when they had about 23~ million consoles on the market. - They did end up shifting 80~ million devices by the time they finished up with the Playstation 3...

So I am wondering where you have gotten the idea that the Playstation 3 platform as a whole was a financial loss?
