> I think this followed from one primary thing: shift to software, which Sony has been absolutely terrible at forever. I think this is true for all Japanese companies (all of East Asia, for that matter). I think the issue is a lack of English proficiency, which makes it difficult to keep up-to-date with the latest in the software world, which moves at breakneck pace. Take a look at any Japanese website - the designs are at least 10 years out of date. The same is probably true for the backend. It's like you really are going back to the 90s.
