Sony has had two situations like that fall in their direction in recent days. The Blu-ray player was initially seen as a burden due to the high console price on release and in the year thereafter. Crazy Ken (original Playstation creator) 'retired' because the company was irritated that initial sales were too slow. Now, it's looking like a good move that will likely boost console sales through the rest of its life cycle.
Similarly, the difficulties that developers were having to port to the PS3 were resulting in delay after delay during the first year where multiple PS3 ports were coming out after the 360 games. As a result, developers are now moving to make the PS3 the primary development console.
