Sony have been pointing to PlayStation 3 as the answer to their problems. Powerful, innovative and expensive it was meant to almost single handed drag the floundering giant out of its problems. Problems. Movies not that crash hot. DRM issues. Old technology. Batteries flaming out. You name it the company is fighting fires.

So. This morning's New York Times piece summing the feelings of many in the gamer community.....that PS3 is better than PS2, but not beyond criticism, must hurt. Especially since the machine costs five or six hundred dollars. Somewhere in Sony the execution is going wrong. They just aren't listening to the market anymore.
