Because Sony did all they could in the last few years to ruin their own nimbus that was build up in first two PlayStation eras.
And that is the result.

It's like they got scared of Microsoft and started focusing on the Xbox 360 instead of the PS1 and 2 fan base.  That, and as already stated, Blue Ray was a mistake for the console (though great for the format).

 

howso?

Blue Ray has a very limited fan base, caused delays, slowed down loading times, and greatly increased the cost of the PS3.  While Blue Ray on the PS3 was great for the movie format war, people that didn't care about HD movies would rather save money and buy the cheaper 360.  Blue Ray is an added expense with a limmited apeal and some negative aspects.  If everybody wanted a Blue Ray player, the story would have been different.
