You are in denial, NanakiXI. Lets just say I was nice enough to give you an example.

The PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine’s list of "The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006," where it was criticized for being "Late, Expensive, and Incompatible".[202] GamesRadar ranked the PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disasters, asking how Sony managed to "take one of the most anticipated game systems of all time and — within the space of a year — turn it into a hate object reviled by the entire internet", but added that despite its problems the system has "untapped potential".[203] Business Week summed up the general opinion by stating that it was "more impressed with what [the PlayStation 3] could do than with what it currently does".[204]
Developers have also found the machine difficult to program for. In 2007, Gabe Newell of Valve said "The PS3 is a total disaster on so many levels, I think it's really clear that Sony lost track of what customers and what developers wanted". He continued "I'd say, even at this late date, they should just cancel it and do a do over. Just say, 'This was a horrible disaster and we're sorry and we're going to stop selling this and stop trying to convince people to develop for it'". Doug Lombardi VP of Marketing for Valve

Im not backing deskpro2k3 because there was some harsh and unnecessary comments in what he says. But I strongly believe that the PS3 was bash a lot not for the right reason. It was almost a trend to speak against it, hope you understand what I mean. Something sure is that it makes no sense to place PS3 in the top 21 screwup when it is still selling really well 3 years after. Actually for the price it was, it is quite an accomplishment to have sold as much.

Stringer basically admits in the interview that PS3 was a platform to deliver bluray. It's done that for them!. With all the associated benefits it's set Sony Electronics up for the next 10 years!. Now all the dirty work is out the way i expect to see the SCE of th PS1, PS2 eras. I expect 2010 to be mammoth.
