Why sell hardware to people who have no intention to buy software?

So the PS3 fanboys can win claim victory over the console war? I don't get this logic.

sony should bundle the dongle to get massive sales.

This is wrong, 360 game sales haven't been affected that much and there is a lot of piracy on that system, and also this kind of thing only appeals to a small amount of game console owners, It is frowned upon by most of the general public who buy their games, and also it seems like a lot of work to "Jailbreak" the PS3.

Actually it's very simple. 

It's on the level of simplicity, that R4 cards are for DS. To give you an idea. 

I don't think it'll have significant effect on software sales either though, even if it's left open... I mean, I don't understand how, but not even attach rates seemed to take a significant hit due to the 360 hacking. 

You should Gamefly them instead. 

software will slightly sell less since there can be existing users that would like to pirate. Hardware would increase due to the pirates that still haven't bought it yet.

I suppose this possibly makes a future price drop less likely considering if Sony are selling consoles to people who have no intention to buy any software (ie people who will be using this hack) then they're going to be wanting to make as much profit on each unit sold, from those 'consumers' (pirates). 

Just my thoughts. 

I agree with your sales prediction, and expect the effect to be very small in the end.

In just a few weeks there will be a firmware update that blocks this hack and people who use it may get banned. As soon as this happens, the interest in this "jailbreak" will instantly drop to almost zero, as from that point on you will only be able to play old games. A few people may still buy the device to play all the great exclusives released so far, but since old games do not have high sales numbers anyway and these people probably wouldn't have bought the games anyway, it will probably have hardly any effect on software sales.

About people modding their 360s: my experience is that most people who do this know very well that they will get banned. That was probably different in the early days of Xbox 360 modding, but with Microsoft banning modded 360s for several years now, people know what to expect. But the situation on the 360 is different: Your modded console will get banned, but firmware updates do not affect the possibility to play pirated games - so even if it gets banned you can still play every new game that gets released. So most owners of modded 360s simply have two or more 360s: One modded (and probably banned) one for playing pirated games offline, and one unmodded one for playing original games that they just can't live without playing online.

It will help to increase the sales of PS3. I got an email about this mod chip, considering to buy it. Anyone interested? Buy more, cheaper. http://www.gadget-asia.com/en/home/world-s-first-ps3-modchip-ps-jailbreak-plug-and-play.html

The PS Jailbreak does not arrive :( My friend told me that he got an email from another website -www.buyps3jailbreak.co.uk, offering a PS3 Break with good quality and better price.  Hmmm…… this seems more attractive.
