The title to this week's topic might
sound a little dry, but this is about how we, as consumers, are
affected by the business models of tech companies. I was thinking
about this topic recently because a small hand-held console, the
PSVita, is being phased out by Sony. I'll cover different examples
this week, not just the Vita, but let's begin there, especially
because the Vita's 7 year anniversary will be this Friday, February
22. I'm not here to say anything negative about Sony for their
decision--in a way, my discussion may even serve as a defense,
because at the end of the day, Sony is a business and if something is
no longer profitable for them, then it's time to move on. But how are
we affected by these inevitable decisions? The tech industry is
moving fast, and there are new implications for the consumer when
purchasing new hardware or software...
