Uh... that's pretty fucking out there.
Unlike Android, you still have to have a PS dev kit. And unless Sony has enough faith in you to give you a loaner, that's not cheap. Just because they aren't forcing people into a relationship with publishers (who, in a digital landscape, aren't really necessary) and they are streamlining their concept approval process doesn't mean that any old body can put any old thing on Sony's network. There's still certification, and it's still a walled garden. It's just that the wall is a little lower than it used to be.
