Linux petitioners want Sony to open up PS3's graphical innards

| Access is blocked by the Hypervisor chip so there is no chance of
| getting around it without Sony's approval. And, naturally, Sony
| doesn't want geeks producing 3D games under Linux and undermining
| its investment. It flogs the console in order to make mountains of
| wonga on the highly-priced games folk play on it.

| By 2010, Sony's PS3 is expected to have 'won' the console war, although

| 75 million PS3 consoles are forecast to have been sold globally by the
| end of 2010, while Microsoft's Xbox 360 is expected to have sold around
| 40 million units, and Nintendo's Wii is predicted to have sold around
| 31 million.
