Have they finally lost it? Are the likes of Microsoft, Apple, Nintendo pulling ahead? Have they already lost the console-race? Or is this jumping the gun?
Personally, I love Sony's work, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense. They seem out of touch with their consumers, particularly when it comes to using proprietary formats. Anyone remember the walkman? Then came mini-discs. And Apple.
"E3's biggest loser? It's Sony. They've been lagging behind for years overall, but to lose at hardware, their strongest suit? What a pity.
Look at all three companies that define the industry. Microsoft is a software company, so Xbox has the best software and services, like Xbox Live, Zune and Windows Media Extender. Nintendo is fundamentally a games company, so they make the best games (or at least, the greatest quantity of amazing, if iterative games). Sony is a consumer electronics company, so they excel at hardware: The PlayStation 3 is defined by Blu-ray and its Cell processor; the PSP blew out the DS in terms of specs, not software. Raw hardware power.
So how the hell has Sony lost the hardware race two years running at E3? Squandering their most valuable brand, PlayStation, is a spectacular failure that doesn't bode well for a glorious return to the Sony of old."

The debate episode of The Bender. Where Mike (Xbot) offends Perry (PS3 fanboy) to the point of him leaving the show early (possibly unrelated). It is clear James has made a decision on what he will be buying now (note: he has owned both consoles, and both have broke on him in the past). Allison speaks up on plagiarism on the Internet. And we somehow go into overtime, but it’s a good thing, so enjoy!
