| DraconianAC said: I think that Sony's iron grip on their self-manufactured content is what got them in trouble. By having their new hardware more in line with the mainstream, they could (and that is a big if) possibly stop focucing on making consumers eat of their shit software (talking about their OS/Web-browser/Music player/etc.) I think a lot of consumers are turned off products that don't have a huge user install with little to none community support for the software. Sony in very enclosed and don't really update their software enough. (I'm talking about meaningfull updates that enhance the experience for the consumer) |
Their irrational fear of piracy play a major role. Making a small mp3 player that can hold thousand of tracks was unthinkable.
But that didn't stop them from locking up content and continue the downward spiral.
