How Sony Lost Its Way

Sony became spoiled. For decades, a success in a new media format meant that Sony could expect to make money selling the media itself.

This is the EXACT reason why I don’t like Sony. It all started with their digital cameras. Sure they made sexy hardware but I have to use a MemoryStick? You mean I can’t use the SD card I used in my Canon? The PSP looks cool but if I want to watch movies on it, I have to buy a UMD? Sure they won with Blu-Ray but I don’t think it’ll be as successful as the DVD since I believe we will consume all our entertainment over the Internet some day. The author summed it up best by saying that Sony is “an also-ran who wants to be respected like a market leader.”
