But don't assume Sony and Nintendo are innocent either, they have all been pretty anti-consumer in the past. Shall I start listing them? |
I agree, but some of your exemples are bad.
The Great Sony Hack : Not an anti-consumer move by Sony (but a lack of security on their part to not hash or crypt a password nonetheless), I think they would have liked to do without it. Futhermore, Sony offered games after this.
Removal of BC : Always sad to loose features, but BC is very dispensable and allowed in this case to lower the price of the PS3. Thus it's pros for consumer.
Removal of Linux : Thanks Geohot for this... but maybe he has rushed a removal that would have be done later in any case.
For the propriety formats, so true ! If only they had remained with the memory stick, but no, they thought that ps vita card would be a good idea v_v
