Isn't the 'worst case scenario' what's being played out in Japan now? Horrid sales, no games coming out, talks of system instability being spread like wildfire, buggy games making the situation worse and reaffirming the fact for a number of people, biggest hopeful title something that would have been a mid-tier 200-300k seller last gen. the bug situation is especially going to be hard to recover from. Most Japanese retailers' return policies suck so unreliable hardware is often avoided; users with bricked Vitas at launch likely spooked a lot of people, and damage control through sold-out gaming blogs did not seem to help. The fiasco w/ Ciel no Surge is likely to remind people of these events and make life even more difficult.
There may/may not be light at the end of the tunnel in the form of E3 announcements, but honestly I have a hard time believing the situation can get much worse than it is now.
