The PS3 will remain a failure even if it becomes one of the top five selling home consoles of all time, simply because it's highly doubtful that it will ever make a net profit. Look at it this way: If you have thousands of people working on a project for a decade (R&D, game development, marketing, PR) and end up with losses it's certainly going to be a disappointment.
That's what you should always remember when you see someone call the PS3 a failure and that also was, is and will always be one of the main reasons why the PS3 is labelled a failure. It is and never was solely about sales numbers, it's also about tons of money going to waste.
I regularly see people forget about the financial side, so I hope this helps these people to understand why the PS3 is still called a failure and will continue to be called one.

The cost of the lost that sony gets from every PS3 is so small that they make it up and profit from every piece of Software they sell for the system.

Maybe that's the case now, but the PS3 lost already more than $4 billion and gaining all that money back will take a very long time, if it ever happens. Hence why I said that it's doubtful that the PS3 will ever make a net profit (at least I think that's the right term).

I wouldn't know....hell I didn't know there was a difference between profit and revenue until I started coming here

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
