Conspiracy Theory 5324.05

This comes on the wake of the news that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. had filed suit against Lik-Sang.com claiming that Lik-Sang infringed its trade marks, copyright and registered design rights by selling Sony PSP consoles from Asia to European customers.

Ok, so deep within this dismay I can detect a hint of what’s brewing under the surface. With all this information coming on the eve of the launch of both the new Sony Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii one cannot help but be at least a bit skeptical that Sony may have used it keen business sense to take down one of the largest Nintendo Wii presale sites (at least a main one continuously taking preorders), and boosted interest in the PS3 by keeping its name in the media. So in actuality this is just a keen ploy to boost the PS3 sales and diminish the impact the impending release of the Nintendo Wii may have on the PS3.

So be it what it may this is a win-win for Sony because even if they get an injunction to least a few week it will be enough time to succumb to the onslaught of orders for PS3’s.

Bah, it just feels like dirty politics to me.

The dude abides.
