Top 10 Biggest Fails in PlayStation History

The titans of home-consoles haven't always made brilliant decisions.

PlayStation 3 Launch Price

There’s nothing quite like being excited for a new console, especially after the astronomical success of the PlayStation 2. However, PlayStation fans all around the world were absolutely floored when Sony revealed the price of the PlayStation 3 was a whopping $599 USD. This was just the console and no games. Players looking to get their hands on even just a single game were looking at spending close to $700.

Despite this outrageous price point, the PlayStation 3 succeeded. I would know, because I dropped close to a cool $1K when I picked mine up with two games and an extra controller. It just goes to show that Sony knows their audience well. They know that, even though they're charging too much in some cases, we're going to buy it just the same.
