No, definitely not. It's a disaster for Sony - it lost them billions and will never recoup its cost. They lost a lot of market share and more importantly image/mind share.
Don't get me wrong, I love the console and it's getting closer and closer to being my #1 console of all time, but as a gamer you should always have an eye on the finances of the company. If you want them to continue to make awesome consoles and games, they need to make some money - it's a business after all. So even if you're not a shareholder and just want to play some games, if you enjoy what Sony offers and want to continue to do so, you should care if the bottom line is black or red.
The loss of mind share will probably be their biggest hurdle going into next gen and the problem is: It's not alone in their hands to fix it. They need the media to throw them a bone and that doesn't look likely. I mean, look at this gen - sure, Sony made some mistakes, but the crap they got for it from the media and gaming community was just ridiculous. Look at the Vita right now - it's out a few weeks in Japan and already we got people talking about it being discontinued and not even releasing in the west. Stuff like this is laughable if you're somewhat informed, but a lot of people aren't and get "unsure" about a product when they read/hear stuff like this - it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
