I don't know what Sony ever did to Time, but it must have been fairly heinous. Not content with punching them in the mouth over the PS3's launch, they've felt the need to kick them while they're down in their "5 Things That Went From Buzz to Bust" end-of-year wrap.
Nestled snugly in at #4 was the PS3:
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.
Jeez, they even brought the Wii into it. There must be a lot of hate in the coffee over at Time.
