[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4889393, member: 203855"] I'm not going to say that it did spectacularly well because it didn't - it's the worst-performing video game system by Sony, at least financially. It began turning a profit recently, but that's very little very late. However, unlike the Wii U, the PS3 actually managed to build up an audience for itself. The PS3's problem wasn't the fact that it was an unwanted system - the problem was that it was heavily over-engineered, expensive to manufacture and even more expensive to sell, as originally Sony was losing somewhere around $200 each sold unit, if I recall. Disagree all you want, but you have to keep in mind that users are not buying consoles for the next two months - they're buying consoles for the whole generation. All things considered, the Wii U's hardware will become obsolete within 2 years time - this much is a fact. The moment PS3/360/PS4/XBOne multiplatform titles stop being a thing, it won't be able to pull off the same things its stronger counterparts will - we've seen that happening on the Wii... except the Wii had the casual audience in its pocket - the Wii U does not. Nintendo Network is indeed pretty terribad. Every little helps. [/QUOTE]
