Product Failure

(3/18/2013) How can we say a product is a failure? Is Apple iPhone map a failure? Is Microsoft Vista a failure? or its Surface tablet? Microsoft's hotmail has been transformed for many years, and now it will be eventually merged to outlook. The most recent victim of a failed product is the CEO of Electronic Arts (EA). EA's recent launch of SimCity received an overwhelmingly 1 (out of 5) star review on Amazon (1862 users give 1 star out of 2146 users on 3/18/2013). The major reason: EA totally underestimated the server capacity required from purchased users who choose to play in the "multiplayer online mode" instead of "offline single-user mode." What will be next failed product on this list?

When you play online game, you HATE this message.
