Why so much hate for Sony?

[shatnershaman]

Go ahead and think different why should I care? 4D 65 72 72 79 58 6D 61 73 21 (decode or google it with "rvb" for what that means)

OK well that's a little ridiculous though, just because the majority thinks something is better doesn't mean it actually is. Remember when almost all of Germany thought Hitler was awesome? Popularity of [something] =/= Quality of [something]

GOOOOOOOOOODWIN'S LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW!

True. Nice find.

Peace dude. I don't care.

Peace dude. I don't care.

Thats not fair. You aren't allowed to quit when you're losing.

Give me a break. You can't lose when it comes to opinion wars. And whats to win? Self gratification? I got those Crackdown achievements I don't have yet for that.

 

[shatnershaman]

Dude, it was a joke.

Ahh I see.

I didn't have any issues with Sony until I had to deal with their customer service department. Their first task was to try and tell me I was wrong and that there was no problem, when I convinced them there was INDEED a problem they proceeded to blame me for CAUSING the problem and began to berate me and try to get a credit card number for the cost of the phone support. Their customer support is pisspoor to begin with and as you go up the chain it get worse and worse.

To be fair name a company with good customer service (that you don't pay special fees for)

Well, what or whom do you suggest one should like about Sony? They are a faceless moloch. They do not have someone like Miyamoto and they do not have truly likeable characters. And they lie to their customers. Isn't that simple enough???

Sony isn't the only one under criticism, but it is yet another victim of Microsoft.

Oh, IBM, why didn't you take DOS when you had the chance?

Because I was there when Nintendo and Sega were happily scrapping until Sony came along, with your retard mate Microsoft, and joined in, crippling Nintendo and killing Sega completely. You rotton bastards! I will never forgive you Sony!

On a more serious note, I think the reason for Sony hate is that there was a lot of mediocre tripe that came out with it (PS1 this is), and this was harming companies who produced more original games. It seemed to be destroying the 'noble art of gaming'. I soon stopped thinking like this when I was seeing more and more milestones in gaming history turn up on the PS (Resident Evil, Final Fantasy 7, MGS, etc.), and knocking Nintendo down a few pegs is genuinely a good thing in terms of the games that both sides will produce.

^Ok that is the most muddled uninformative thing ever but screw it *POST*

I actually agree with you

To be fair, no customer service is any better anyway.

IBM did take DOS, they had IBM-DOS, m$ had MS-DOS

 

[shatnershaman]

I find Sony has always been a Jekyll and Hyde with me.

Sony TV-Amazing
Sony Laptop-overpriced
PS2-pretty fun
PS2-Broke
PSP-Powerful machine
PSP-can't play shooters

 

[shatnershaman]

To all the Microsoft haters.

Run linux. Its free.

Why do I dislike Sony?

Well for starters, I think the PS3 is a joke. It draws away to many developers, so it has very few exclusvies I want(not enough to justify $500.) Almost any game coming out this generation will atleast be on the 360 or Wii or both. Plus their is no reason why a PS3 game cant be on the 360 unless they have extra content to fill the entire blue-ray disc, but I have no problem changing dics mid-game. At least the Wii exclusives can be justified. I do not think the Wiimote is just a gimmick. The Wii can play traditional games like Metroid 3, as well as nontraditional games like Trauma Center.

And the reason 360 exclusives won't stop coming to the ps3 (like they are right now) is?

And once again, here's the rather large list of Ps3 exclusives. Some of them sound damn cool, some of them are from brilliant compainies, and some are Sony buying the rights to games that MS fucked up royal, tweaking it and making good on.

If you like the line up, more power to you. For me, the only games I find interest in is Resistence, Warhawk, and FF. Four $60 games on top of $500 is not affordable for me. Now if I recall, Warhawk is the game that uses the SIXAXIS. That is somewhat justified sence the developer wanted the PS3's stronger hardware over the weaker Wii hardware, but Resistence and FF appear to be traditional games that would work on a 360. So the PS3 having one semi-justified interesting exclusive is not worth it for me.
