Sony (and others) have what I call the "monopoly mentality".
Their business model is basically this:
1. Create a monopoly.
2. Screw the customers, content creators, etc. (i.e. everyone except the company).
As we have seen time and time again (both in recent times and in History class), this simply doesn't work in the long term. Monopolies are broken one way or another and, because the monopoly never had to compete, they are unable to change to a competitive business model and die.
