PS3 a Make-or-Break Product for Sony?

Random BedHead Ed writes: "Wired is running a thought-provoking article on Sony that suggests that not only is it important to the company that their upcoming console/media center/Blu-Ray vehicle be successful; it might easily make or break the company. Amid a nice summary of the company's technology strategies over the past few decades, from its pre-digital days to competing with Sega and Microsoft in the gaming world, the article claims that "having ceded to Apple the portable-music-player market, Sony desperately needs to stay on top in videogames. It's not just that Sony needs a win; PS3 is critical to its entire strategy.""
