There is a good chance that this particular comment came directly from Sony as a part of some sort of misdirection and damage control campaign. It does not read like something a teenager would write, it sounds more like a mom lecturing her adolescent, but I can't see parents taking time to comment in GeoHot's blog. So given the context it looks artificial.
If you think that's bad you should check out the Kotaku comments or the PSN forums. Some of them were promising bodily harm geohotz. I know people get worked up over cheaters but some of the comments were just right off the rails crazy. Seems to be a correlation the more time you spend playing the system the more you hate people that screw around with it.
I know people like to make fun of Mac and Android fans but some playstation fans took it way too personal.
A lot of PS3 users are NOT teenagers... I'm guessing PS3's user base will tend be slightly higher in age than Xbox owners, given that people who buy PS3s might buy them for the Blu-ray player as well to complement some home theater setup. Teenagers will most likely only have appeal for the gaming aspects of a console.
Which means I get moderated down too? I thought he had an interesting and valid point, saw his statement when it was grey and made my comment.
If I am incorrect, or have made a HN etiquette faux pas, I would appreciate knowing about it.
That was my immediate thought, as well. I'm willing to bet that a good number of those comments come from Sony shills trying to paint blame on external parties.
