Everything except the PS4 this generation was a failure

1. That's how you determine a success? By making new hardware features are abondon ones that don't work anymore. Yeah sure.
2. PS3 cost Sony way more while the 3DS made a profit at the end of the day.
How do you know this? Last I heard the3DS wasn't dead, so there's no successor to announce. They've said Switch won't replace dedicated handhelds, so you can take this assumption off the table.
This thread: PS4 is best, everyone else can go home. Hot Take: The Thread.
Except y'know, Sony and their anti-consumer stance certainly hasn't been a success.i guess were only talking consoles sold tho

Koizumi is a time traveller and he bought the Switch from the future with him.
But they didn't lose money in the long run with the 3DS, just that year? Not like the PS3 in that respect.
And the reason the 3DS fell so short of the DS was hugely in part due to the rise of mobile. That's not a failure, that's the market shifting. That's why the Switch is hybrid.
Also in what world are NES and SNES Classic failures
The thing is they didn't lose money overall with the 3DS. It ended up making them A LOT of money. If you view that as a failure you should apply for a job at activision.
I mean there are problems from this discussion but it's just funny that you think this.
Switch is not included via the OP's rules because reasons
Sony thoroughly whooped Xbox but I wouldn't call the Xbox One a failure either.

So PS1, PS2 and PS3 are all failures?
Same with the XBOX and 360?
Cause they all sold their hardware for less than it actually cost to boost hardware sales and make money from software
The losses aren't even close to comparable. 3DS was a very profitable product over its lifetime.
This is complete semantics. Your premise is unsupported so you've just excluded any data that's convenient for you to exclude.

I forgot because my original thread title was naming each platform but instead I went with everything but PS4. Woops, that didn't work as expected considering Nintendo classic consoles.
I mean, Nintendo made lots of money with 3DS after the first year.
There's always a possible future where they bring out something that acts as a dual screen successor. Maybe not in the next 5 years but who knows.
Also Xbox One, even selling not as well as PS4, is still WAY outpacing Xbox 360 sales.
So, you know, utter failure. Complete write-off. Satya should sell the Xbox division.
Also he includes PS Classic but ignores NES and SNES Classic - how do you even achieve these levels of mental gymnastic?
The 3DS isn't a failure. It made a ton of money.
PS Classic but not NES/SNES Classic is incredible cherry picking.
This thread is top message-board failure material.

But wikipedia says it's 8th gen...
Kind of unfair to Sony & Microsoft to let Switch be considered 9th gen, that gives Nintendo such a head start.
How did you forget about the classics when you mention their success when talking about the PS Classic
This is so flawed!
You have cherry picked information and comparisons and, becuase it ruins your argument, just left out the swithc
You should be a politician

Unlike the PS3, the 3DS made up all of the money that it initially lost over its life.
