Its highly unlikely as you say, but its still a possibility.

But do you agree that for the price of it, and its competitors its doing well?

Being in last place for 90% of the gen wont be considered a failure, if they dont finish last overall. Sure, Sony would have wanted to be in 1st through the entire gen, but finishing 2nd to a console what's dominated as much as the Wii isnt something to be upset about.

Where is this 90% number coming from? Seems it should be higher to refer to the time period the ps3 has been in last place, which has been practically from the start.

No. I don't agree that it's doing well regardless of the price. This is Sony and they should have mopped the floor with everyone like they did the last couple of generations despite the price.

Sony is going to come in last this generation unless they stay on the market for two or three years longer than the 360. You can quote me on this if you want.

I said OVER 90%.

I was trying to be nice and accurate at the same time.

They are doing quite badly, PS3 is doing ok at this stage of the generation but it was a financial disaster for Sony costing them billions ,and wiping out majority of PS2 profits, and they still are unable to make money from hardware.

As a console PS3 is great, as a business its the opposite.

So basically Sony is doing awesome by losing a few billion dollars on PS3 and still losing money on each PS3 sold but being the best selling 3rd place console ever.

I'm wondering how you would describe Nintendo is doing now by making a couple billion dollars on Wii and profit on each Wii sold as well as being the best selling sonsole this gen.

To me, Nintendo is doing awesome with what I described above and Sony is not. I guess we have a different standard on what's awesome.

Worse than most people would admit. Every one of their divisions is losing money, especially gaming. They're losing $40 per unit on a last-place-and-continuing-to-fall-behind console for which the evidence of any kind of price drop is sketchy and based on hearsay. Every single decision they've made regarding the PS3 has been flat out retarded: removing BC, using Blu-Ray, removing USB ports, Home, etc. If there even is a PS3 slim, it'll be even more expensive than the phat, and don't even get me started on the PSP Go. Speaking of which, if getting their ass handed to them in consoles isn't bad enough, the PSP is nowhere near as popular or prevalent as the DS and its relevance will probably drop even more once the XBox handheld comes out.

So, yeah, it's in a bit of a pickle.

@rol
success really depends on what the purpose is right?
for nintendo it's making money, for sony it was to take over HD, and for MS it was to keep consoles out of the PC arena
they've all been successful

Why, they are making money on it now...?

But thx MGS4 the PS3 sold more than the Xbox 360 for months shouldn't you reconsider that aswell.  And save is really a strange word.
