It may seem easy to say that Sony’s PlayStation 3 was undoubtedly a success for the company, but the console’s initial launch in late 2006 wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. Microsoft was putting up stiff competition the year prior with the new Xbox 360, not to mention Sony’s hefty proposed price tag in comparison. The console was even featured in the magazine PC World as number eight of the Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006. Suffice to say, the tech-giant’s highly-anticipated console didn’t exactly seem to excite the fans, and its initial lineup of launch titles wasn’t turning heads either.
