Alek: Custom Firmwares not a threat to Sony

After releasing their latest download stats, Dark AleX‘s webmaster Alek concludes that only a minority of PSP gamers use custom firmwares. He concludes that: “Are CFW users a threat to Sony? I think not.” Message to Sony: stop adding more security to the PSP.

After releasing their latest download stats, Dark AleX‘s webmaster Alek concludes that only a minority of PSP gamers use custom firmwares:

Adding downloads from Dark-AleX.org and the ones from the Network Update, here are the numbers from this last days;

-17 oct 29.838

-18 oct 32.996

-19 oct 2.472 (in 3H)

(unique psp’s using this in 2 days, 3 hours) Maximum value calculated lately from the other releases was about 150k PSP’s.

So, having in mind that there are how much? 38.96M PSP’s on the World (http://vgchartz.com/), so there are only a 0,39% of the total ones using the Network Update; we can conclude that…

… not more than an 8% of total World PSP’s are with a CFW. (based on that statistics, tbh is a huge estimation, it should go about a 5% atm)

Meaning? Message to Sony: stop adding more security to the PSP. Any chance this has something to do with the new security system in the PSP-3000’s TA-090 motherboard? Alek concludes (and I bet a lot of you agree on):

So, is it a threat? No. Developers and Sony should not focus their attention/excuses on something so “small”, but on more Games&&Addons for PSP, instead of making look guilty free devs like Dark_AleX.
