It's point of no return was selling far less than PS2 and being in third place almost the entire generation. When looking at the 7th Generation itself, it in some ways still got third place because Xbox 360 sold more software and PS3 lost more money than Xbox 360 did.

For PlayStation home consoles, PS3 is a sales blemish. It wiped out the profits of previous consoles, sold under 100 million units, and was constantly overshadowed by Xbox and Nintendo.

if the point of no return should be what the previous system reached, than every console which performed decently worse than it's predecessor should be on here too. The point of no return for the thread is the point of no good sales. PS3 did decently fine in the end. It hasn't gone down as the others, which were in the 10-30M. Even XB1 is doubtful. It hasn't gone down so much as sales lifetime, It took the xbox brand down for sure in the long term, but sales were still mediocre, better than failed ones, or low. Almost 60M it still okayish.
