Dear Sony, WTF?

I don't actually see Microsoft or Nintendo moving to a new gen anytime soon, one having just launched a brand new console edition and major interactive device*. For the PS4 to launch 'early', it might actually be jumping the gun a great deal too much then it can handle.

It is important to remember that releasing early not only gets you a step ahead of the game, but it lets your competition learn from your mistakes for their launches instead of making them.


*I would actually like to see this become a trend, with the old method of "new console every couple of years" replaced with "Console software upgrades often, and console hardware upgrades as technology advances". A lot was learned from the early editions of the Xbox 360, which was improved upon in the later manufacturing runs, and more was learned from them and used to improve the new incarnation of the 360.

I'm kind expecting Sony to eventually take this route even farther in a attempt to "repair" the PS3.

This whole thread makes me almost want to go back and see if I can't jailbreak their old fucking betamax players and send one to them just for lulz.

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Fuck Sony. Their practices regarding hacking, DRM, system invasion, and particularly their throwing wads of cash at courts and legislators to oppress their customers have been nothing less than deplorable. It's a damn pity someone hasn't found a way to drain their accounts dry yet.

You can modify the hardware, sure, but modifying the firmware will get you in trouble and that is what gets people arrested because it's agains the DMCA. It's bullshit, but hey we knew that.

Be patient, can't you see they're trying as hard as they can.
