I believe the author is saying the current situation is a failure. But... to use an analogy, if a person fails kindergarten it doesn't mean they can't graduate from college with honors.

I would use a slightly different analogy ...
The PS3 is in a school system which doesn't allow a student to be held back regardless of performance. The PS3 failed to learn the alphabet in kindergarden and because of that failed to learn how to read in grade 1; it is now entering grade 2 without the necessary skills needed to perform well in that grade. There is nothing that says they can't graduate from college with honors, but right now it will have a difficult time graduating high-school without some sort of intervention.
