Sony's 5 Biggest Mistakes

Comes across as an adolescent rant.

1) Fake critics. Like anyone cares about this enough to stop them buying Sony. Irrelevant. Yet rootkit fiasco not mentioned, arguably far more damaging.

2) Sony sold plenty of non-MiniDisc devices (flash memory, hard drive), too. To compare just MiniDisc to the iPod and then say "game over" doesn't tell us anything about what Sony really did wrong here, or the fact that there were plenty of competition to the iPod before the iPod hit. No insight as to why iPod won, all that is mentioned is "game over" for Sony. Not very insightful. Crappy software and draconian restrictions would rank highly here as failures for Sony, both for MiniDisc and non-MiniDisc Walkmans, but they aren't even mentioned. Game over for insight.

3) Michael Jackson's publishing dealings and/or tiffs with Mottola have nothing to do with anything electronics-wise or publishing-wise with movies and music outside his business dealings, and say nothing about the company's direction, IMO.

4) Nobody knows how much PS3 makes or loses but Sony themselves. It also ignores the fact that costs have been reduced big-time in recent times, too.

5) the end of 'Connect' is mentioned, but all that is said is "maybe it was a bad idea". Not saying why at all. Weak sauce.

6) Blu-Ray 'isn't going to happen' would be nice to elaborate on. It's happening (on some level, at least) as we speak. Does the blog owner know how to elaborate? I can read heaps of rants without a reasonable discussion as to how or why the writer reached his conclusions. They aren't telling us anything except that this guy is venting.
