Should we expect massive drop in PS3 sales next week? Holy crap, Sony better apologize to the mighty hacker community which showed how mighty they are when taking Sony's corporatedick deep in there ass with no lube whatsoever

Probably not, but it should push away some sales. Could give TV and other electronics sales to other manufacturers. Video games tend to sell at walmarts and game stores, not Sony Style stores.

Lol, you grossly overestimate its possible impact. Most people don't give a damn. Did those EA/Activision boycotts hurt anybody? No. And as it stands, most Sony products are superior to their counterparts.

The PS3 hacker community has already showed that they're nothing to be afraid of.

Eh?  You could make the arguement videogame consoles wise... but consumer electronics wise Sony's generally seen as medicore and surviving on it's name.

Isnt PS3's hardware vastly superior to Wii's and Xbox 360's from technical stand point? And just about any other console to date? Amazing next gen graphics and very small failure rate, with PS3 Phat being almost inderstructable? And isnt NGP cnsiderd a handheld marvel? I dont believe Sony would be a multi billion corporation with best selling handheld devices (Walkmans) and video games consoles (PlayStation) and best selling blu ray players (PS3s) on thier back by being medicore in electronics. Im jot saying Sony is awesome and the best at every electronics products,there are some devices where they are lacking behind the competition (like TVs) but to call them medicore is an overstatement
