Where's Betamax video tapes on this list?
What this list demonstrates is that while Sony have generally been a good marketer of hardware (TVs, video/DVD players, stereos, car stereos, game consoles, etc) they've been lousy at getting widespread adoption of particular storage/output formats. Oddly enough this time round they've done a relatively poor job of selling their hardware, but they have established their new storage format (blu ray) over the competing format.
Though it must be said that while this gen may be considered by some as a failure on the part of the PS3 it can easily become the 5th best selling gaming console ever, while being the most expensive ever. Pretty dang good for being considered a failure.
You're a bit premature on the PSP-Go. You might turn out to be right, but you should at least wait until after launch before you announce its failure.
