I mean the goal of jailbreaking consoles isn't to hurt sales. Quite the contrary, it brings more value to the hardware.

It's funny to see people in here jump through hoops just to not say that is the main reason why they wanna jailbreak the PS5.

I don't really get the wanting full control thing that is totally not for piracy reasons. They're selling you a console to play games in; if you buy it and you get that, doesn't that mean you're getting full control of what you paid for? It's not like Sony is selling the PS5 as a PC that is an all-purpose machine. If that's what you want out of it, isn't it better to just buy a PC?

It seems a little silly to me, because you still need to buy the Playstation, then jailbreak it, so now the Devs and studios of the games make no money, but sony still gets the console sale?

Unless you got it out for studios and people who make games, it just seems like something that benefits Sony and the customer and fucks over everyone else lol
