Are Bad Products Obsolite?

I was driving around today listening to an old Across The Sound podcast and made a connection that might be an interesting subject to discuss. Since social media connects consumers together and bad news travels faster than good, are truly bad products non starters? How about products that are not THAT bad but out of phase with consumers on the quality-value continuum? Something like, the PS3, for example?

These are interesting times for a lot of companies. Do discuss…
