I'm pretty sure the PS3 flopped because of its new architecture most developer just cheaped out on, resulting in most 3rd-party game having significantly less graphical quality on PS than other consoles.
Comment on Gamecube is the most underrated console while it was in circulation.

PS3 still outsold the XB360 globally, barely. 87M vs 85M. That was also the generation Nintendo decided to take its ball and play by itself with the Wii. Microsoft had its own fuckup with the red ring of death. PS3 wasn’t a total flop, though certainly not as dominant as it has been against Microsoft before or since.
