Actually, it's not engineering mistakes. This is what happens when marketing gets to design a product rather than engineering. Basically, sales promises features and techs that are "sexy" but are too far ahead of practicality. To realize the features, the engineers have to overcompensate to make it possible. This overengineering increases manufacturing costs and put Sony in the situation they are in today.
My old boss always said: "Cheap, robust, or fast delivery. You can choose to have one, at best you can have two, you can never have all three". That has proven true on ANY project I've worked on or seen.
