that thing could do just about everything an average gaming PC could do, for example (not a full list by the way) 1: Play Music CD's 2: Rip Music CD's 3: Play PlayStation 1 games 4: Watch Bluray movies 5: Play PS3 games 6: fully Browse the internet 7: Watch YouTube 8" Watch Hulu 9: Watch Netflix 10: Play Music while playing a game, although I never tried it (spotify app) 11: Connect a USB Keyboard 12: Free Online gaming (for a while) 13: Some could even play PlayStation 2 games 14: Run/host an online server and it had a lot of other apps for it also like Amazon music apps and could do just about whatever A PC at that time. Of There were different hard-drive sizes circling the model and it ranges from 20GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB, and 160GB, 120GB, 250GB, 320GB, 12GB and 500GB, versions. 1: The Phat (20GB, 40GB. 60GB 80GB 160GB) 1: The Slim (120GB, 160GB, 250GB, 320GB) 3: The Super Slim (12GB. 250GB, 500GB, models) I for one still love my PlayStation 3. Even though, I now only use my newest one for Playing games on, and I highly recommend playing PlayStation 1 games on one. Rather then on a real PlayStation 1, or PlayStation 2 because you can create a heck of a lot of Internal PS1 memory cards for your PS1 library's save files without needing to buy PS1 or PS2 memory cards I have never had A PS1 game not work on any PlayStation 3 model Unless counting my 2nd super slim that had issues I guess ::) I never had a PS3 Phat that could play PlayStation 2 games. But that's why I also love My PlayStation 2 phat just as much today. |

It outsold the 360 so no. |

Why would it be considered a failure? |

Not a failure, just not the runaway success that other PlayStation systems have been before and since. I took a while for it to pick up steam, due to initial price and receiving some botched ports in early years. I'm not a big fan of where this era took Sony's first party exclusive efforts compared to the previous systems. Games like Uncharted, Resistance, Infamous and Killzone come across as also-ran responses to what was going on in the industry, and not as era defining titles. There were some interesting exclusive titles, but the majority of those weren't overwhelmingly successful. I've had quite a few PS1 fail to output any video using my 60GB system. Although, that could be an issue with my TV not supporting the resolution through HDMI. In all, I'm not the biggest PS3 fan and I do prefer both the Wii and the 360 over it, but it's by no means a "failure". It was quite a successful system in the end, with a vast library that has a little something for everyone. |

I liked that you could swap out the internal HD so easily, def not a failure. I prefer my 360, but I had it 1st. If all I had was a PS3 life would still be great. Also as for you #12, what do you mean for awhile? You can still play ps3 online for free. Only PS4 needs PS+ |
