As long as they did it, I don't care the motivation.

I have an original PSX too - have to turn it upside down for it to work. Has a PS2 - it totally fried out years ago. I'm not even a big gamer, so overuse certainly wasn't an issue.

In any case, it is curious as to how gamers are more forgiving of Sony that MS.
