I think Sony has a decent chance. In case you didn't realise, a phone and a console are very different. The mobile companies force you to stick with them even after the contract ended, unless you pay to unlock it. On the PS3, it can only run games sold by Sony, you jailbreak it to play pirated as well as homebrew (hackers' defence). Its very hard to call though, I think it may go either way. 

I think that's a fair assessment

it's not a fair assesment.

he's mistaking AT&T and Apple. Apple doesn't force you to stick with them even after the contract ended, cause you don't have a contract with apple in the first place (well for itune and ios use, but not the iphone) Jailbreaking doesn't mean you change phone company (the one there is a contract with).

same as you can only buy games sold by sony, on an iphone you can only buys apps (this include games) sold by apple (even if some are free). jailbreaking and Iphone and hackin a PS3 is essentialy the same thing.

In essence, the Iphone and the PS3 are both modified PCs, one as a highly portable device, the other as a media center.
