The PS3's hardware really, really isn't that important in practice. You have to remember that for the previous two generations as well, the technological top dog wasn't reflected in sales.
The PSX and PS2 were both bottom of the barrel in graphics but top in sales. I dunno what possessed Sony into thinking it suddenly mattered more.
Remember the Nintendo 64 and the X-Box, and how they dominated sales? Nope, me niether...
