A lesson in mis-management, PlayStation3
This article is fascinating; I just couldn’t stop reading it: http://www.neowin.net/news/the-turbulant-times-of-the-playstation-3. I have a lot of respect for Sony, but this is a classic story of the downside of closed systems, blunders that are so easy to make when trying to lock down proprietary systems, and the exact wrong way to respond to the market. Sony has a huge base of enthusiasts, and instead of engaging them and seeing it as an opportunity, they continue to see it as a battle they must win so they can stick to their predetermined strategy. A must read.
