Ok, I have seen just about enough of this that I had to speak. CNN, fanboys jumping on the bandwagon just to say the PS3 sucks. This is such a joke. The PS3 has sold 14+ million units in its first 2 years. This is more than the Xbox can say for itself. Yes I can say in this economic environment the PS3 will sell less but, heck, with 14 million users the player base is strong enough that all the hate is unwarranted. Sadly I still think the holiday season will be a weak time for the PS3 but, guess what (and I say this for everyone who owns a PS3) WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

Meh, hate blogs. More people will be exposed to this. What I want to discuss is what people think the causes of this are. Think about it. People hate a piece of machinery; why is that? It just isn't logical.

yeah i hate blogs too. and now i know what the purpose of your argument is, this is thread worthy lol. imo, people hate because they have expectations of what stuff should be. bred up where society is brainwashed by the media, its hard to blissfully like the ps3 with all the mystery around it. because there is mystery, because there is an absence of knowledge, people hate.

I hate Macs and with a passion but then again who doesn't? but i do agree i think the xbox fans vs ps3 fans is a bit stupid all though personal opinions do count, and i personally only want the Xbox 360 for Halo and Fable 2. But doesn't mean i like the Xbox, i have a PS3 and im a sony fan all the way since PS1. Both systems have their ups and downs people need to realise that.

It is illogical, however it is a competition to most people and it just so happens there are more people on the other side. Competition is a natural desire however some people take it to the extreme and make competition of the smallest of things. So if it is a console they are saying is better and will almost literally defend it to the death then there is probably much more going on than what they let on or the reader can gather on a psychological level. I have to laugh though, usually with companies the boards of directors and CEOs all get along really really well. I worked for a company that had people from a competing on their board of directors, and that went vice versa on their end as well. I bet they just sit back and laugh and are more along the line of "dance my puppets"

the reason why they hate the PS3 is because its a big threat to the one that they got... also, they don't wanna accept the fact that PS3 exclusives are graet as well, coz the sad part is that they can play it cozthey don't have a PS3 and don't have enough budget to get a another console... sounds like sour graping. look at the comments of other system holders, its a lot more harsh than those who are lucky and got both/all systems.

Well I certainly am suprised, some intelligent posters. I suppose that would make sense. Some people get a superiority complex pertaining to something they own (I.E. the 360)and they think its the right one. Its like the concept of cultural superiority where one thinks their own culture/country is always infallible. I guess thats why I'm so pissed about the CNN thing, people will see what they say and acept it as fact not bothering to dig for the bigger picture.

Don't let the ignorant, often misinformed comments from insecure fanboys bother you.
I've reached the point where I now facepalm at just about everything I read in System Wars.

Sigh, dont let this get to you. PS3 is an awesome console, how gives a sh*t what some ignorant mases say? Either way, 360 has shipped 24.86M, and PS3 17.88M (Info from VGchartz) Consider that facts that the xbox came a whole year later without competition, and the price is much lower than that of a PS3

As I am seeing things, PS3 is slowly getting back at the 360, and I firmly belive that in the end of this crazy race, PS3 will surge out 2nd (Yeah, there is no way PS3 is catching up to the Wii). Anyhow my point is, dont worry, they will eat their words later on;)

You can't really help it so there's no use worrying about it.

Just enjoy your damned behemoth of a console and **** what the haters say.

its all about popularity..comparison: xbox 360...more ppl buy it, reasons

1- 1 year earlier productions...result malfunfctions still happening today, how many times have i heard in the past month, o i cant play gears cuz i sended my xbox to micrsoft cuz i overplayed it, 16 hrs straight...

2- way cheaper, even @ $hitty $199 price, beats wii, but not really, ppl still buy it, and really u pay for wat u get...u pay a $hitty price u get a $hityy console, look that version cant even get NXE

3- since it came out earlier more fans, ppl have it, more games were published 4 it, and the publishers got used to their dvd format easier/faster, when they get used to the blu ray, and how it can hold up way more space, xbox would be cryin and copyin their idea, ie everyone copies each other, it just depends if u step it up a notch, well yeah ps3 is down kno, i really dont care but it does get annoyin, so for everyone who owns a box, and the other a staion, just play ur box and we'll play our station...lol

By the way the PS3 has not yet reached 2 years in Europe.

as well as this. o i dont know how to put this. alot of people just believe what they see. u have to remember, the news only tells u what they want u to know. i dont believe they ever fully tell the whole story. which is y after this past election, im done with the news media for the most part. but when u have people that r so well known sit there and say that the xbox is better with no reason to that opinion, others will just listen and take it for granted. i honestly think the reason u see ps3's still on shelves more than the wii for example is just the price and what people have heard. sony could do more to advertise, they wont. its just that the wii has more tv time, people r like o thats fun and only $250 blah blah. if people would only learn how much the ps3 could actually do, i think they would really reconsider their choice of system.

I don't know, I guess I like owning the "underdog" system. (Viva la Dreamcast!!)

It's not like there's any chance of Sony saying "screw it, we're done with the PS3". I'm content in the knowledge that I own the best, most powerful videogame system ever.

Next year may just be the PS3's saving grace. Heavy Rain, inFamous, God of War 3, and Killzone 2 are just some of the exclusives scheduled for '09.

There is no saving grace for any system. It should be a strong year though.

I hate how the PS3 lost quite a bit of exclusives. It lost Final Fantasy, DMC, Tekken, and I hear rumors that MGS4 may go multiplatform.

The MGS4 thing is total rumor. They'd have to put it on like 6 DVD's.
