They sold the original Playstation at a loss, the PSP was a bit of a flop and was advertised with a white woman physically intimidating a black woman by holding her by the face, they tried to copyright the words “Let’s Play”, and their laptop batteries used to explode causing the biggest recall of pcs in history.
Selling consoles for a loss at release is a common practice. They make most of their money from software sales and around the time of the mid gen refresh the consoles start selling for a profit. Also the PSP sold really well and was hardly a flop (the vita on the other hand)
They shot their own foot on that one. Betamax was the superior format than VHS but they kept the tech to themselves paving the VHS to win the format war.

There’s plenty of examples of them fucking up.
