It wasn't just the price though ... 2006 seemed to be the year where Sony was doing everything in their power to turn as many people against them as possible. The PS3 price, rootkit, exploding batteries, PSP Graffitti, and Racist PSP Comercials were (generally speaking) bad enough but their reaction to these things was terrible; finally they followed all this up with arogant statement after arogant statement.
What you need to realize is that people take great joy in watching (or delivering) the "Rewards" of hubris.
