He was saying that sony hasn't failed in the video game market yet, but
i can think of a few games that were basically pretty lame...
One - Run around and shoot guys.  Another mindless kill-fest.  Sure, it
was fun for a bit, but after 5 minutes, i was wondering what the whole
point of the game was.  It's almost impossible to die, too.  
Courier Crisis - My friend rented this, who knows what supernatural
force drove him too, but it's pretty lame.  About the coolest thing is
that you can have the kid on the bike "Give a rude gesture" and hear
guys yell, "Arrest that punk!"  The game itself, though, was pretty
lame.
Mechwarrior 2 - Don't get me wrong, I worshipped the computer game.
But a)they butchered the game into some cheap arcade remake and b0it
was only 1 player.
Dragon Ball GX - I really hate to say bad things about a fighting game
attuned to such a great anime series, but this game truly sucked.  It
was entirely unoriginal, with nothing more than flashy combos.  I'm
sorry.  (runs up to anime collection "I will never speak wrongly of you
again, i promise!")
MTG: Battlemage - What do you get when you take one of the greatest
card games of all time, and make it into a pseudo-real-time strategy
game with graphics to cry over?  This.
But don't get me wrong here.  I like the PSX.  Heck, I OWN it.  But I
just wanted to open your eyes to the imperfection of it.
