Launched at a ridiculously high $600, manufacturing problems also lead to shortages at retail resulting in most Launch PS3's ending up on eBay.

The original "Phat" version criticised for its bulky design, poor backlighting and poor software lineup. Was discontinued 2 years later and replaced with the more stylish DS Lite.

Launched at a rather high $500, was also facing heavy consumer backlash from Always-On DRM, and always connected Kinect, the former which was patched out before launched but still hurt sales.
