With TVs, Cars and anything else with a circuit board... you still don't grant the original producer a "closed system right". There is no logical reason why videogame systems should have closed system rights for a product they've sold to a consumer anymore then they should have the right to block out products they don't like through their OS. It's an identical actual situation. |
But they do have a logical reason-- they stop devices they haven't signed off on because devices like the Datel memory card results in easy piracy.
Until game consoles are officially called game computers, they have every right to close it off as much as they want. Just like how anyone can't just make games for the 360, anyone can't just make an accessory for the 360. You may think it's right or wrong but that doesn't matter because that's just the way it is.
