Way too expensive at launch, tried to pioneer blu ray, the industry said no and 360 sales were through the roof. Then something clicked and people started buying PS3s in drones and blu ray took over. Now it's one of the best selling consoles of all time despite the huge deficit.

PS3 took off late in the gen when it started getting exclusives. Everyone already had a 360 and decided to get a PS3 for the exclusives. That's why the two consoles ended up being an almost exact tie in sales.

Yeah, I remember laughing at it. Too expensive, no gaemz. Then 2009 hit, they released the slim and announced a whole bunch of great exclusives and it became hands-down the best console of the generation.

Makes me wonder why Sony didn't repeat the strategy and include a true 4k Blu-Ray player with the PS4 pro. They saved such a small amount by not doing it too. Makes no sense. PlayStation the PS2 DVD drive and PS3 Blu-ray drive we're huge selling points and for many people their first DVD and Blu-ray players. I guess they figure since the masses don't care about physical media as much anymore that it wasn't worth it. Still lame though. --- "You need to lay off the peanut-butthurt and u-jelly sandwiches" - NeonOctopus ... Copied to Clipboard!

Looking at vgchartz now you can see rrod affected them this generation, it's the reason I didn't get one. Plus I think they said the e3 before it came out it was going to show you ads during loading and watch you with Kinect
