^Its no secret, there are people who won't buy Sony products for this reason because they don't want to support Sony. Sony don't pay musicians/developers/anyone good enough for the product price/quality, plus they give harsh development times and often demand a product be ready for sale ven if its not ready to be sold. When you think of big co-operate companies and all the bad things, Sony ticks /most every damn trope to the point its not funny.

If Piko had been Miku successful Sony would have likely, however, run the product to the ground worst then what we see from CFM. So the alternative could have been worst.

On the one hand, we'd have gotten possibly more Vocaloid from them. But you'll have the same problems constantly among them. They'd not be poor enough quality to be Kagamine/Sonika mark 2, but you'd more or less get lots and lots of mid-quality vocals who'd end up being one step away from something great. I find this is the problem with Piko, he always felt like he was just 1 step away from good. Its how I feel about my own favourite Vocaloid Tonio. :-/
