Developer claims 'PS4 officially jailbroken'
Please ELI5 why consoles need to be locked?<p>Say I&#x27;m Sony. I could have a locked platform, sign up some content shops to make a very small number of titles, and sell a few consoles.  Or I could make an unlocked platform, reap all the benefits of the locked one, _plus_ encourage a large community of people making all sorts of new things for it, sharing, and spurring many more console sales.<p>So why lock when you could instead have an ecology?
