Done an excellent job this generation.

I'm not sure if Sony Investors agree with you. You can say this at a user level, PS3 has a good to great library, PSP library's quality is at least questionable, but at a corporate/economics level, SCE has been a complete disaster this generation.

Alot of that had to do with Ken Kutaragi. Of course it was going to be expensive to "save" the PS3.

At the beginning of the gen, 3rd parties were about to abandon the platform altogether. Hirai had a big job on his shoulders of rebuilding relationships with devs and putting the PS3 on the map again.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Ok, you can say he made lemonade with the lemon it was the PS3, but I think the costs were prohibitive to SCE.
