Shocking. An expensive convergence device that isn't particularly good at its primary function (gaming) isn't succeeding in the marketplace.

How many times do companies need to learn that convergence devices aren't well-accepted by the public before they get the point? It's okay to make a convergence device, but you have to remember a few things:

1. It has to perform its primary function VERY WELL
2. It has to be reasonably priced compared to its non-convergence cousins (or very trendy and hyped, a la iPhone)
3. 90% of consumers won't use the additional features

I've been predicting a Sony crash-and-burn since E3 2006. This shouldn't be surprising anyone.

You mean a general purpose-device like a computer?  Well those haven't been doing well at all...
