Isn't the Sony PS3 operating system largely based on Linux?
This is much more about what you let customers do with machines. There's a tension between "anything goes" (and rampant piracy and cheating) and total lockdown. Big companies seem to go the route of sealing everything up. It's unclear that this is totally necessary.
- mpyne 14y agoAFAIK no, but it did have an option to install a gimped Linux OS for some time, before Sony took that away.
- Aissen 14y agoNope, it's a custom OS. So is the Wii (U)'s or xbox's; they might use some BSD's parts (network stack ?) but I'm not sure. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OtherOS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OtherOS to clear the confusion.
- lifeguard 14y agoBSD wikipedia says. I thought it was linux too! >>The native operating system of the PlayStation 3 is called CellOS, which is believed to be a branch from the FreeBSD project
