I hate to spoil z7shaft's mood, but there are a number of problems in the argument.  One thing you need to consider is Sony's incentives - to make profit - not necessarily make a good PSP (or even high sales).  Claims such as what you think the Sony devs are thinking is somewhat remote (most likely, the only thing they're thinking is how to leave work early).
As much as I'd love to agree with your points, they're a little far fetched.  I still think that you do raise some good points though.

Anyways, it's typical though, that other sites won't give posts such as that any consideration.
