I see one or two people mention Sony should use a free vote system instead of crowd funding. The problem with that is anyone who doesn't like Sony (and there are plenty) will just troll a system like that with false votes. Asking for a monetary pledge of some kind weedles out many of the kiddies that would pull this kind of stunt (not all, but when someone has to authenticate any kind of payment details whether it be Amazon, Paypal or PSN this scares off much of the rubbish).

This crowd funding site reminds me of GMT's (board and card game company) old P500 system. They would ask for pre-orders for about 30 different types of games, and any of those games that obtained 500+ pre orders would succeed and the physical development on that game would begin (they'd continue to take more pre orders afterwards). Using this system meant that GMT never had to worry about designing things no one was interested in.
