Time Magazine has their annual "5 Things That Went From Buzz to Bust" and guess who made the list? That is right, the PS3. Sony blew more @#$!# up everyones @#$! and then delivered a half baked, buggy, unrefined console that pretty much has no games and a bleak gaming future with a joke of an online service. They even own movies and could not beat Microsoft to the punch. Sony is a perfect example of a company that markets a product that does not really exist (as portrayed) and then pats themselves on the back for doing a mediocre job. And let us not forget that if they would have moved Ken "the big mouth" Kutaragi to Chairman much earlier in the year, the PS3 might not be the disaster that it currently is.

TO PLAY'S THE THING
The big story in computer games this year was HOW TO BLOW A HUGE LEAD, by Sony. Its PlayStation 2 was the champ in the last round of the console wars. This time Sony bet on a chip called the Cell and a disc format called Blu-ray. They're probably awesome, but how would anybody know? The PS3 is hideously expensive--it goes for up to $600--and Sony manufactured only a piddling few hundred thousand for the U.S., fewer for Japan. Plus it's hard to write games for; the launch titles were lame. You know you're in trouble when you get beat by something called a Wii.
