I've always chalked it up to simple hubris. Seems like there's a pattern of a company dominating for two generations in a row before they just get all up their own ass and feel like they can do no wrong. I mean, after Sony waltzed into the console market, slapped the shit out of Nintendo and Sega, and sold an unprecedented number of consoles two gens in a row, it's not hard to imagine them feeling like they had the Midas touch. Thus the $599 PS3 with Genji as a launch title.
OT: My theory is that consumers are taking pity on the poor thing.
