That article is extremely accurate and I think does a very good job pointting out MOST of Sony's current lack of understanding the consumer. Sony just comes out with something more expensive because it is technically superior, and so they charge more. What they do not keep in mind is that the competition is doing the same thing quicker with "inferior" hardware and technical stats. First the PS3 compared to the Xbox 360 for at least 100-200 more depending on the model, and then 500 more for Blu-Ray over HD-DVD. And the overall theme is that these more expensive products do not offer any advantage in better performance to warrant a higher price.
