AInc wants money for the player. AInc wants money for every copy of every piece of SW sold for it. and even worse: AInc wants to control who sells a piece of SW to whom. Now this buisness model may work when you are Sony and have allready sold millions of PS2s, but it just won't work when you are a startup, with not single working partnership to one of the big guys. Want to argue that ? Than answer this: Why is it that after >3 years and 3000 SDKs sold, all we have seen are a dozen or sp medicore C64-style games ? Why is it that the one advertized as the "killer-app" is over 2 years old (Planet Z) ? Why is it that not a single piece of HW has been sold with DE preinstalled. Why is it that M$/CompUSA have nver restocked after selling the first (small) batch ? Why is it that these games are only available in one obscure web-shop (well and sometimes on flea-bay) ?
