Hackable firmware makes it good for the consumers. Consumers!=Sony. You think that Sony considers it successful because it's hacked all over the place and people are downloading millions of illegal games instead of buying them legitimately? We have a word for that: fanboy.

If it was meant to be multimedia on the go, why would it appear at E3 and be called Playstation, which is a videogame brand?

 What if you think that if the firmware wasn't hackable it wouldn't of sold nearly as well and would actually be dead around now?

It's piracy has been a positive if you ask me.  It allowed it to gain rapid marketshare by getting cheapass gamers who refuse to buy games to shell out for a handheld system that would usually be out of their price range.
