They would need to have much better relations with third party devs as well. Thus far they've been total a-holes in that department.

Also, with blu-ray manufacturing getting cheaper, I can see a price drop. Sony executives have alluded to it before, and regardless what Harrison is saying in the interview, he will never reveal a price drop (for the sole reason not to encourage people to wait for one instead of buying it now ).
They need to put a huge effort, as well, into pushing Blu-ray movies to help generate more revenue. One of their stupidest - if not THE stupidest - mistakes is their choice to remain stubborn over proprietary formats. They seriously need to grow the hell up and move beyond that.

But for all this to happen, Sony needs to bring their shit together and I do believe they can and will. They have to, to stay profitable and in the gaming business.
Yes, and one of the VERY first things they need to do is drop to their knees and OWN UP to all the f*** ups they've done and promise to deliver much better service, including respecting the developers and all their customers. Yeah, that means nuking the existing public relations system and replacing it with a better one.
