Hi,

I think this is a bad example.  I don't imagine the demand for accessibility by 
the blind is very high in regards to gaming consoles.  I guess they could make 
the menus accessible for netflix and stuff like that though.  But then you 
would have to throw in all television makers for discrimination as well.  Its 
just ignorants.  Discrimination in my opinion rings of something deliberate.
