>Sony on the other hand has significantly more cachet.
That's a problem. Root kits. Memory sticks. MD Minidiscs. Beta video cassette recorders. Something will inevitably be "wrong" with this new Sony product; they all inevitably disappoint.
The Playstation (1/2), the Walkman, Triniton. Minidisc is unfair, I know of some people who still use them (music production purposes), they weren't a bad product they just launched at the wrong time.
They've had some hits, they've had some misses, they still have a significantly bigger presence than Roku. There's plenty of Sony Centres open in the UK just as a product outlet.
