What did Sony do wrong?

Could somebody list everything that Sony did wrong?

all I know is that they lost the GTA thing, the Devil May Cry 4 thing, Assassins Creed, and Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to Xbox360 but it's timed exclusive like Metal Gear Solid 2 was. Didn't a bunch of PS3 games also score really badly? Which ones where those?

I am still tempted to buy a Playstation 3 though. The thought of the cell CPU is just really cool, and I would also be getting a PC because PS3 runs Linux.

PS3 still rocks in my opinion. After all Sony have never let me down before.

Someone told me that rumble is last-gen so any game that uses it will feel like playing last-gen games.

Someone told me that rumble is last-gen so any game that uses it will feel like playing last-gen games. Is this true?

Sony didn't "lose" anything.  Those developers made a business decision based on the fact that next-gen consoles cost too much to develop for with NO guarantee they will sell more games.  The only way to sell more games is to go multi-plat.  

As for what Sony did wrong, they went overboard with the features which made their console WAY to expensive and too difficult for them to make.  Developers didn't even get their final dev kits until like a month before the console came out.  It's no surprise that there were no games and still are sparse.  So you have no games combined with slow sales due to the massive price tag and you have Sony, although well intentioned, biting off way more than they could chew.

I think the real question should be "what did they do right?".

 PSN Home?

1-Made a system come out a year later than another system but forgot to make the video card current with the release time. Instead the video card was made a few years prior and left to sit and get dust while the rest of the system was built.

2-Focused on the processor of the system when everyone knows the video card is the heart of the system.

They made the one mistake that every single comapny that makes this mistake pays for!

THEY UNDERESTIMATED MICROSOFT!

$600. You see if they made there console affordable for the everyday person, maybe they wouldnt of lost so many exclusives, and maybe more people would buy it.

 They also treated Europe pretty badly, has the PS3 even laucnhed there yet? They also downgraded the Euro PS3...seriously why would you do that?

It may suprise you to know that as arrogant as sony is, they aren't the worst one in the industry.  Ask some of the gaming press who the worst of the bunch is when it comes to being stuck-up and I have a feeling that sony is not the answer they will give you.

they were arrogant enough to underestimate MS. that was a HUGE mistake

They did nothing wrong it's just the way the market is at the moment, all the systems are losing exclusives rather alarmingly

It may well "ROCK" but it's hardly worth buying a £425 console for now is it?

Sony hasn't lived up to it's hyped since the PS1...now that game developers has a good choice{console} to make games on....you've now seen developers pack their bags with no regrets.
