Weird double post.
Didn't notice it last night.
Mods can close this one.
| binary solo said: Duh! Yes. Compared to PS1 and PS2 (esp PS2) PS3 is a failure everywhere. But that's because PS1 and PS2 are the second best and best selling home consoles ever in the entire history of consoles. Compared to all consoles ever launched by any console makers though PS3 is a success in terms of number of consoles sold (Average sales of all home consoles listed on VGC database is ~45 million). But it's still an open question as to whether Sony would have made a profit from this console generation. Given only a few consoles actually made losses for their manufacturers in terms of what's important to companies (profit) PS3 has not done well, except that longer term it has ensured PS4 has a reasonable chance at doing well and being profitable. So at least PS3 did well enough to prevent Sony from being forced to exit the game console business. However PS3 also ensured that Blu-ray won the format war vs HD-DVD, and that's rather hard to quantify in terms of direct benefit to Sony. So the end result: PS3 has been successful in some respects, but it has also been a failure in other respects. An objective analysis would say you can't call PS3 either a complete failure or a complete success. So it all depends on what aspect of PS3 performance you want to emphasise, which generally is determined by you bias for or against PS3 / Sony. |
wisdom. i sware you read my mind.
yeah it is. for me its more of a disappointment
i wouldnt blame sony to much though
i believe MS did some real good things this gen very aggressive caught sony sleeping, and if alot of the 3rd party PS exclusives didnt go mult, and GT had a better american car list i dont think the ps3 wouldnt of fallen off that much in US. other things too i believe affected it like not having rumble at the start of the gen (i believe sony didnt start bundling the DS3 with there HW till late 08) also incorporating trophies mid gen many thought they did just to copy MS.
the big exclusive games MS have like gears and halo to me scream americana, i dont get that with PS's god of war and KZ, LBP,and some of there other exclusives. plus they came out later than its competition most games are going multi now so unless theres a particular exclusive you want many arent going to wait/stay for the PS3 especially since it was at a higher price and had the issues that i mentioned above
