I think the reasons can be find quite easily on the internet. 2 obvious answers would be keeping cost down on each unit and the being backward compatible. Yes, maybe it is only 5$ on each unit, but when you sell 11.5m units, those 5 bucks grows a lot. Anyway not one hardware company (old Sega, Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, etc...) make their money on the hardware they sells, its all about the games, baby! I remember that, if a company don't include something in the original packaging it's because they don't think they need it.
Geez... Give me a break... YES SONY IS IN THE BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY! OH MY GOD!!!! THEY ARE THE DEVIL!!!
Why so many expensions you ask? BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BUYING IT, DAMMIT!!!!
and, btw, their is more reasons why the PS2 didn't have 4 ports on release then just to make people buying a Multi-tap. Trust me, Sony don't really care about those Multi-tap sells.
When I read article like that, the first thing that come to my mind is: Why this guy put so much money into this game if he didn't like it? COME ON !! WAKE UP!! If you don't like the game, STOP PLAYING... yes it is THAT simple. Don't tell me you invest too much time (and money) into your character to stop! What about that level 62 Assassin in Diablo 2? That took quite some time and I don't hear you complain that you didn't have fun! Games are an entertainment, YOU stop when you want too! You don't agree with Sony politics, STOP PLAYING. But, for the love of everything sacred on earth, if you keep playing, stop crying everytimes your level 52 cleric don't get what he wanted in the next patch. Please remember that Sony is not suporting Everquest to make your little self happy, but to make money. YES, MONEY!!! Not happy? Stop crying, stop playing, buy yourself an Xbox, that will give you something else to cry about:)

More or less, I agree. Buy AC2, get a Gamecube, wait for Star Wars Galaxie, learn a new language. But, PLEASE, stop crying and stop playing.
