@ellabellafull Thought more about this, realized I've had a chip on my shoulder about Sony's hardware for a *long* time. So maybe that's part of my gripe here.
I sold their PCs back in the day (~ 2002-2004?) at Circuit City, and they've always done baffling hardware stuff. Created their own Hollywood-esque UI on top of Windows that was just bad.
Their controllers have always had inexplicably terrible battery life.
Created great handheld consoles but never really supported them. Just. Blarg.
