sony promptly announced its next generation of consoles would be Linux unfriendly.
Actually it was a feature in the console to install another operating system. They disabled the feature during one of their updates. The problem is that during the initial launch they not only advertised it as a feature but they also proclaimed "this isn't just a console.. its a computer".

This opened the doors to a double-wammy. They're currently being sued for beaking their contract by getting rid of advertised features. But since they also proclaimed it to be a computer instead of a console, all of the familiar computer abuse and misuse acts will apply to them aswell.
