What you call "cocky" I call confident and maybe overambitious.
The Cell was a radical departure from processors of its day. Sony tried to bring heterogeneous computing to consumers on its dime. Unfortunately it didn't work out.
From a R&D point of view, old Sony was way more interesting. Today's Sony, the "non-cocky" Sony according to you, just slap the latest AMD APU into a box and call it a day.
