The real reason Sony wanted LikSang closed

I'm sure a lot of you have already read Maddox's latest page, detailing in a very brief summary why Sony is ass. Not nice ass, but the hairy ass with zits and dingleberries. If you don't know who Maddox is, your existence has been meaningless until now. He's the author of The Best Page in the Universe, and the guy whose style I emulate to a degree when writing this page, though the opinions are still mine (I'm still being myself, so don't get your hopes up that you can save me). Here is his article on Sony.

Maddox hardly needs my help ripping a soulless corporate entity a new one, but I can go into a bit more detail on the issue.

I remember specifically the closing of LikSang, whose page I visited the day it was closed. It didn't matter to me as much as someone I knew who was expecting a package from them. Isn't that tough nuggets? Maddox said that the reason why the page was shut down was because of lawsuits threatening it for selling Japanese PSP units to gamers in Europe.

On LikSang that day was a list of their top 20 best selling products. Every single product on that list was a Nintendo DS game or Nintendo DS accessory. Well, what do you know? A hint of a monopolistic Sony not willing to let go of it's majority of the gaming market.

In case you've been living under a rock, Nintendo DS is the handheld gaming system that is currently beating the pants off Sony's PSP, especially over in Japan, where DS far outsells everything else. I'm hoping that Nintendo's Wii continues the trend, because I'm just as sick of Sony's bullshit as Maddox.

I'm sick of Sony tacking meaningless features onto their game systems. I'm sick of the proprietary formats, such as Blu-ray. What the hell is Blu-ray? Blu-ray is some kind of new DVD that doesn't work on standard DVD players, as people have found out the hard way. In other words, it's Betamax all over again. And I'm sick of all the same old crap. It's games that make the game system, and Sony has been relying on third parties to sell systems since PS1 first appeared. Sony has no creativity, they prove this with every game they make, and each identical system they make embodies their testament to mediocrity.

In spite of all this, Sony's fans still blindly support them. If any of those assholes who can't tell the difference between a DVD and a UMD (Useless Media Disk) are reading this, I want them to know that you're not doing Sony any favors. Sony has been losing money for each PSP unit sold, and it's going to be the same for PS3. Sony is hoping to make back the money through profits on games, but that's not going to work too well. To buy games, gamers need to have money, and gamers who buy PSP and PS3 won't have any money because they're both too fucking expensive.

Sony is shit.

EDIT: Sony is losing $306.85 for each PS3 system sold. source
