Very true. The competition always seems to have bigger self-inflicted wounds. For example, last year I'm pretty sure HTC and Sony hurt themselves by skimping on internal storage and Motorola had some high-profile late devices. This year I think HTC made a mistake on microSD and removable batteries in the One series, Sony launched too many devices on Gingerbread and both Motorola and Sony were too slow with their ICS updates (even though Sony probably has the best update coverage of any phone manufacturer). And so on.
