Well to be fair, I don't think he said that it is necessarily doomed, or on its own, a complete failure, but he did imply that other companies are doing better by getting sales that Sony should have gotten, had they been able to position themselves properly.

It's like the 3D thing. Nintendo is now going to eat Sony's lunch with the 3DS by having the first dedicated 3D gaming device on them market without the requirement to wear glasses or buy a new TV.

3D was Sony's gimmick, but can you imagine the 3DS(once it gets into the minds of the general public for its new 3D gimmick) not eventually selling a hundred million units? Once again, that was Sony's lunch. 3D. They just aren't going to get to the market with it, and by the time they do, it'll be old hat.

Actually no, Ive stated this before. It IS NOT SONY that is behind the 3D push. Its Hollywood in general.

It's the avatar effect.
