this is another one of those 'blame microsoft' situations . It doesnt really matter if they didnt make any of the hardware themselves. When you buy an OEM PC, they just get parts from everyone else and slap on their casing and logo. Samething with Xbox.

Hardware you buy is yours.  You don't license it like software.

You might say that, some say you don't licence software, that it is the wrong thing to do. However it certainly doesn't look like you don't with hardware and software, it looks to me like you do what ever the hell you want.

Of course, Sony is nixing ALL third party peripherals.  Which means that you are stuck with the boomerang design for it.
