By some of your guys standards the PS3 was a failure too when you compare it to the PS2

PS3 is 100% a big failure. I mean:

1 - It manages to have so much loss that the profits with PS and Ps2 practically melted.

2 - It loses absolute market dominance of the Ps2 and allows rivals to gain market share.

3 - Lose several traditionally exclusive games, such as GTA and Final Fantasy.

4 - PS3 almost made Sony leave the Console market, and the success of the Ps4 saved the brand:

I could continue, but I believe this already shows the size of the failure that was PS3. Luckily it planted the "seed of humility" that brought Ps4 to life.

I would argue that the PSP saved the Playstation brand in those days. Without the sales and profits of their handheld, their videogame bussiness would have really looked grim.
