  1. Why would sony even care? by Coq · · Score: 0, Troll

    Could someone please explain why Sony was so pissed about emulators? Certainly the first gut reaction is that sony would be pissed, but the bottom line is that sony loses money selling systems. Every console is sold at a loss. In terms of people pirating games, the emulators don't make it much easier, just about anyone can do a true disc copy with errors in place, and forgo the need for a mod chip.

    The way I see it, all it means is sony would make more money by seling a higher number of games and a fewer number of systems, and as a small side note, someone else would make a little money.

    It seems to me that the only one getting screwed here is sega, since they end up selling people systems and no games.
