Sony’s given up production of the PSX media center device in Japan. The PSX was the hybrid Playstation 2 and DVR machine, which launched with much fanfare in Japan, with product shortages and the whole bit, only to leave most customers unsatisfied. That was in no small part to the lack of promised features in the PSX that Sony neglected to deliver.
That said, it’s impossible to know how this bodes for the Playstation 3’s DVR-like abilities. It’s just as likely that the poor-selling PSX was shelved to make way for a new, more capable version using the PS3 hardware. That said, Sony’s obviously in a killing mood.
