I dunno, I thought the PSP was just ill-conceived and pointless at the time. Sony was at the peak of their NIH syndrome, and just not caring what the market actually might want.
the umd drive was for me what killed it. a brand new storage medium available no where else. and they want us to buy media in this format? when vcd was becoming increasingly popular at the time never mind dvd.
sony makes beautiful hardware, some of the best. but they destroy it with bad practices like cd players that can't read cd-rs. digital music players that weren't mp3. they became about protecting their copyright and not doing what their customers wanted.
