Sony’s media group has been an absolute cancer to the device group. To this day they make some of the best hardware on the market. To this day I won’t buy any of it beyond the PlayStation because of how horribly they screw it up with DRM and associated restrictions.

It doesn't help much if you still buy the Playstation...


How does it not help much? I’ve probably got a total of less than $2k invested into PlayStations and games in my entire life. If I were to add up all the electronic devices I’ve purchased in my entire life that could have been Sony but weren’t it would probably be pushing 6 figures.


If you want to screw Sony, there's no better way to do it than to buy a Playstation and use it only as a dumb media player. They make money licensing games, not selling the console itself.


Nah, it’s okay, GP will serve in the fifth column of the Console Wars.


But Sony media group earn much money so they contributes Sony conglomerate's stability including electrics department. Mixed feelings.
