Thing is that they're thinking of taking that chance. That they had already made the announcement of the anti-piracy system for PS3 confirms this. But at this point they're realizing how retarded they'd be if they chose to follow up on it, especially with their screwing people over with the audio cd deal.

Combine that with other factors - lack of quality online features, difficulty by devs to program for PS3, postponing PS3's release til end of next year, MS encroaching on the Japanese market and snagging top Japanese devs there, that multimillion dollar lawsuit over the force feedback controller patent breach, etc.
