“Sony Skipping Afrika For Europe”

There will be a day when Sony finally realizes that the whole “independent territories” thing harms them more than it helps them (and when has it ever helped them?). Especially when all Sony Europe or Sony America can do is refuse a product — but not have much positive influence on the design and evolution of the PlayStation, as you’ll remember from Phil Harrison’s frustration with the lack of social features on the console.

For the record, though, I’ve never had any expectations at all for Afrika, so I’m neither disappointed nor surprised.
