I don't think it did fail, many yarozers have gone on to jobs in the games
industry and lots of yaroze games made it out into the real world. The
technology has just moved on, PSone experience just isn't as relevant to
modern games development as it once was.

In what way would you have liked to see more support from Sony?  They
supplied the kit, an online meeting place (amazingly still running) and
several opportunities for games to escape the private areas into the real
world (Game On, OPSM, GDUK Awards).

Good on you for complaining tho, helps make things better :)
cheers
