Sony's trying to get FTW, but instead, they are cutting their own throat.

Think about this - there are what like 120 million folks that have bought PS2s. There are still close to 80k sold each week - and just as standard Sony playbook protocol calls for - orphan products.

It never fails - when Sony smells blood in the water, what do they do? Take the product off life support and let that puppy die. I got burned with their PS2 HDD ... and others got burned by the PS2 Linux Kit - the UMD - betamax - minidiscs - their MP3 player line and the list goes on ... so now, we can add BC to that list.

It makes no sense for Sony, who apparently believes the fresh crap analysts are shoveling, to do this to gamers. They are currently holding down last place like a champ. And yet they believe 2007 will be the year of the PS3? Now, they are saying 2008 - even 2009. Nice ...

All I have to say about this foolishness is - you need a new team of advisers, with gaming backgrounds - and can comprehend what gamers want. Changing the rules midgame doesn't cut it.
