Perhaps most shocking was Sony's arrogance. SCEA president Kaz Hirai's comment that "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does" reveals a contempt for his competition which would be admirable, except that it's foolish.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the death rattle for Sony... last year they showed themselves to be inconsiderate of the consumer. DRM scandal, PS3 delay, being a bitch over Blu-ray, etc...
