Well, if we're going to review Sony's litany of standards-undermining horseshit, we'd be remiss to omit S/PDIF, which was a bastardization of the existing AES/EBU digital standard. Apparently it differs just enough to make interconnectivity unreliable... creating a pain in the ass for studios the world over. Sony also briefly attempted to undermine Thunderbolt, by issuing a laptop that crammed Thunderbolt connections into a regular USB-A port. I'm sure I'm forgetting (or unaware of) several others. Then there was their ridiculous clinging to MemoryStick for what, a decade after the rest of the world had standardized on SD?
