Maybe the blown USA launch of the Xperia (delayed two months now) due to alleged manufacturing defects. Also, working with HTC is like sleeping with the enemy as shown with the higher quality Touch HD and Touch Pro comparisons between the keyboard, screen, etc.
Probably really doesn't help that HTC is in bed with Qualcomm, and only low-end Sony-Ericsson devices have scraped the bottom of GLBenchmark for multimedia and graphics until the Xperia. Sony will never have a comparable quality device to previous high-end SE devices nor high-end Nokias if they keep it tied-up with HTC/Qualcomm.
$800 USD also prices the Xperia out of pretty much the entire market when the Touch Pro gets subsidized on AT&T.
