I've been saying the exact same thing as that article. Between the 3DS obliterating the PSP (and it will) and the beginning of an epic war between Sony's competitors for the hearts and minds of the mass market (with the first major skirmish this X'mas between Wii and Kinect) it will mark the further decline of the Playstation brand.
After Phil Harrison left Sony and was honest about his experiences there he basically stated a lot of the decisions coming out of Sony Japan were from people that just didn't get what the Wii and DS represented. To me that is still very much on display with PSP Go and PS3 Move which show that Sony has still learned nothing from the Wii and DS.
The only reasons the PS3 is still somewhat successful is because the competition hasn't seriously moved into some of the remaining Playstation strongholds, the fact that Sony (and not Microsoft) is willing to lose a lot money. But that will only help them for awhile as the losses alone will eventually force major cuts in the division.
I'm sure people will claim it's just bias speaking but everything I've said will come to pass, mark my words.
