What on earth went wrong at Sony so they went from champs to chumps in the electronics game in only a year?

Even as recent as 5 or 6 years ago, Sony was the ace electronics company, anything they made was top notch, jam packed full of functions and features other brands’ devices never had and were rugged and long lasting to boot, but then something happened and they are now as crummy as Emerson or White-Westinghouse! What happened to them is what I could never tell, did they have some executive scandal, or did one of their founders pass away and they lost the last guy who knew how to do things right? Did they sink a bunch of money into some new project and lost their shirts when it failed? I can’t see how the electronics company that used to have the best incarnation of whatever electronic device I wanted (and often times were the people who invented it) and usually made the best example of any electronic gadget you felt like buying has plummeted from being the creme de la creme to a company noted for its mediocre cell phones and overpriced video game consoles that cause riots…
Oh I love the PS2, its the PSP and the PS3 I can’t understand, why cram all the crappy PS1 games no one really liked the first time around into a finnicky little handheld, and why make a new PlayStation when the PS2 still has awesome looking graphics, and a huge library of games to pick from?
I don’t know about the PS3, I still think the PS2 is plenty kicka-ss as a video game console, plus its impossible to find a demo PS3 in a store to check it out firsthand to see just whether it is and improvement over the PS2 which IMO would be tough to outdo. The scarcity of a demo PS3 display in any store I usually go to makes me feel like they are worried people will find out its bogus, but BEFORE they blow $500 on one to find out.
