Sucks much much worse for Blackberry now it will be much more undervalued.

I sort of feel like:
MS + RIM = Windows Phone/RT that doesn't suck
Nokia + Palm = Mae-Devices and Ecosystem roll out
SONY + Canonical = A ecosystem (like iOS) for PlayStation built on Linux?
The PS4 is built on FreeBSD/BSD which is a Unix derivative. However I don't see the advantage of them teaming up with Canonical other than it just being cool that Canonical teamed up with Sony. Canonical's ecosystem is not very TV orientated (though they are pushing Ubuntu TV) it's a desktop OS with desktop apps so there would be little to gain from that partnership. I suppose the touchpad on the PS4 controller can be used to navigate desktop apps much like a laptop touchpad however I feel Sony's partnership on TV is with Google in their GoogleTV OS which is a variant of Android. If TV based apps are going to become a thing then it is Sony's GoogleTV partnership since they have the apps (like plex) that will benefit them since Canonical's ecosystem is desktop based.
