    Sony have always been a sh** company though, even as far back as their proprietary mini disc format.

      Minidisc was licensed technology, companies like Sharp, Denon, Pioneer, JVC, Onkyo and Kenwood all made competitive minidisc players. The discs were also sold by many brands.

      I don’t think Sony’s audio division was as restrictive and aggressive as their gaming division.
