Sony (as well as Nintendo and Microsoft) make money by selling software. They all take a hit when it comes to selling the hardware. If Sony just sells more systems and no more games, they lose money and 3rd party developers will note that. From that, I can only assume that there are some serious limitations placed on the hardware. According to the article, you cannot use home-made CD-R's in the system. That seems to limit some of its usefulness and value to anyone looking to use.

Well according to the on-screen text I read (or maybe it was the manual) the max players supported was 6.
