I didn't say they did. As far as sales go, the PS3 is a rousing success, and it should be. The hardware is better than the 360, and it can do a lot more. It was simply the first example of their attitude I could think of. Though I think it can safely be argued that they failed hard when it came to securing the servers the PS3's connect to... At least that's what came to mind when you mentioned their epic fail.
Who'd have thought you actually need to update your firewall?
If you want a non-PS3 example, we can always look at the famous quote from when they were called out on putting root kits as a part of the DRM on music CDs, installing them without the user's knowledge, and creating massive security risks on our computers in the process. As I recall, Sony's response was alone the lines of "most of the ones who are affected don't even know what a root kit is, so what's the big deal?" (Yeah, I paraphrased that. I'm too lazy to google the exact phrase.)
Or we can look at the pricing of anything they sell. Or the non-existent documentation for anything that they sell. Half their FAQ answers is "call our support".
I like Sony products. I don't like Sony. They're the Apple of the non-Apple world.
