I don't hate any company related to gaming. They all do things to piss me off as a consumer and fan of their products, but nothing to make me perpetually hate them. I mean, Sony has done really dumb things recently, like selling a new Walkman for $1200, but I don't hate them for it.

the device is focussed on a niche that is very audiophile, wants the best of the best components and has the disposable income to afford it

if Sony manages to make a profit with the devices then this is not a "dumb" decision, but trying to sell another mainstream priced device which never generates any profits due to lots of competition from companies that can produce at even lower costs would imo be pretty "dumb" at this point

Yeah, that doesn't seem dumb to me. I have absolutely no interest in the product (literally not a spec), but expensive products aimed at niche markets that appreciate the thing being offered (in this case super high quality audio) can often gerate respectable amuts of profit. It's amazing how much people can be willing to spend for the things they value :p *stares at his gaming PC*
