Shame that they aren't releasing free SDKs, enabling the hardware to play
homebrew games in a sandbox or generally making it possible to develop
without spending millions.
The first console that does the above will positively clean up, because
then people can write and play the simple little games that everyone enjoys
more than the great big sagas, but doesn't want to pay fifty quid for.

I was expecting that Sony would be handing the market to Microsoft this
round, but they seem to have screwed up the 360 so badly that Sony really
ought to clean up again. Even the Gamecube is outselling the 360 in Japan!
