They surely will profit, but off the old PSP and it's games.
Especially if the "uproar" turns out to be actually as big a deal as those in this thread are advertising.
I thought that Monopolies like this are illegal. This is a good example of highly restrictive trade practices. The fact that Sony is global makes it very difficult to take them through court action. Very expensive. Only a government agency could get Sony to operate a free market. Remember when you could buy a book or a game (before game consoles), read it, loan it, sell it, give it away! Why are we are not allowed to still do this? Because 'The Man' wants to squeeze every last bit of cash it can out of a product. Those who made/develop the product do not get their fair share of the money, only the big company like Sony. I think an anti-trust case needs to be taken up by the USA. Then Sony would change their way. The only ones to REALLY make money would be the lawyers. :)/
