Regarding the "PS3 exclusives are only as such because only the PS3 can run it" you know what other console had people trumpeting that shit? The Atari Jaguar. And given how hard it is allegedly for people to develop for the PS3 that comparison might be very apt. Hell i don't even know why I'm refuting a Dingo-ism, since he's either on Sony's payroll or Sony's been sending curvaceous women to service him sexually in exchange for misinformed statements about the PS3, and how Sony has been ripped off by everyone in the history of ever.
Simply put, I don't see why some people can't get it through their heads that maybe, just maybe, the whole world doesn't want a glorified Blu-Ray player that plays games if you simply must use it for that and tries to pass off text messaging as a major technological breakthrough. Maybe they don't want games with horribly shoehorned in "sixaxis" controls that let you do things like jiggle the controller to make a woman's breasts bounce (feel free to just try refute that one Dingo, I know you're a fan of the game I'm making a specific jab at). Maybe there are some good games for the PS3, but for the life of me I cannot think of 10 that I would want that would justify the price and shoddy online capabilities of a PS3. Yes I said shoddy. $50 a year goes a long way towards quality. And my 360 only bricked once, and was replaced for free, even though they really didn't have to do that (it was before they announced the free replacement deal and I had no warranty).
But I'm not here as a fanboy of Microsoft, or Nintendo. No I am here as somebody who views Sony on the whole as a perpetual factory of lies and misdeeds that is finally reaping what they sow. This is for all the fake movie reviews, the shitty computer customer service (break a computer then have the gall to tell the user that it was broken when they got it? I don't think so!) the fake PSP testimonials, and most importantly, for the arrogance that "The Console War is over" in 2002. Although I guess ironically it is over in a sense, and the winner is still the PS2. I guess that's almost fitting, seeing as how there's a reason the PS2 is the last product by Sony I will willingly own. It's a damn good console with a damn good games library and its success is reflected as such. Also it wasn't trying to be anything other than a games console. Sure it could play DVDs but that wasn't repeatedly bashed into our heads. Maybe that's why it's doing better than the PS3 even now. Of course the fact that people can afford the thing and don't feel obligated to have an HD-TV (protip: even when the economy was good most people didn't have HD-TVs) to enjoy it might help as well.
