It’s going after the management, not PSN. Perhaps noting the backlash from PS3 gamers after the first PSN takedown, Anonymous has re-positioned itself to go after Sony’s websites and post anti-SOPA messages instead. Circulation of personal information known as “doxing” is also planned for Sony executives.
Of course, given that Anonymous does not have a central command structure, just about anything could happen. Just don’t be surprised if you see Kaz Hirai’s personal phone number showing up on Twitter one day.

Why do they target Sony only, when Microsoft and Nintendo also support SOPA? their so full of shit.
because if they mess with MS, theyll be hunted down before they can log off the internet, and then MS will take all their money and their children’s money, and their children’s children money
haha, well they act like big Hollywood hackers, they need to back it up. :p
and also nintento is irrelevant cause it doesnt even have a real gaming console 😛
The above mentioned points are right…Microsoft has too much money and resources, making them too dangerous to attack. I mean think about it…if they attack XBox Live, a service that people are paying money for, Microsoft will then have to deal with refunds and angry PAYING customers. The PSN is free to access, so the affected customers don’t have any financial leverage to hold against Sony. As for Nintendo, being the weakest player in terms of online gaming, makes them an undesirable target.
