The PS3 was horrible for Sony given their market position when it launched. It was super expensive while the PS2 was dirty cheap at that point.
The cheapest PS3 was launched at $499, with the next version at $599. And that was an astounding 17 years ago at this point. The idea that the PS5 launched at price points $100 cheaper than that just shows ridiculous Sony looked at the time to consumers.
The point is that the PS2 sold 50 million consoles after the PS3 launched, showing that they didn’t only launch the PS3 because people stopped buying the PS2.
This isn’t true at all. The PS2 sold 50 million consoles after the PS3 released, and the PS3 only sold 80 million consoles.
