FWIW, Earlier SCE had Linux kit for PS2 but later slim models didn't support it. But it didn't make loss by selling only PS2 consoles without games for HPC setups.
Having Linux as an option made many people prefer PS3 over other consoles, and provided some initial momentum. Now PS3 does not need it, nor afraid of opposition?!

Certainly there would be some merit in using the UK's Sale of Goods Act to obtain refunds on affected consoles, as they'd no longer be "suitable for the purpose for which they were sold", especially if Sony advertised the Linux capability anywhere.
