Sony and Microsoft are as bad as each other. Microsoft do not steal games and most of the time developers choose to release on 360. Anyway, the franchises i'm guessing you are talking about (Metal Gear,FF) were both originally Nintendo exclusives before Sony came into the game. I'm not saying Sony Stole them but they are as much a culprit as Microsoft, if thats the direction you want to go.

Please, like Sony is immune to this.

I remember when Haze was cross platform and Sony bought it up for PS3, of course that ended up being a good thing; as they saved two platforms from wasting their money on that title. But Heavy Rain is another title Sony bought up, a game that was originally PS3/PC.

Microsoft hardly takes care of PC either, more like they treat it as their secondary milking platform once they have gotten all value out of a title. Halo 1 & 2 were long delayed console to PC port, considering Halo was origionally a PC/Mac game that's interesting behaviour from a platform owner.

Both companies are guilty of grabbing up games to be exclusives, it is how they survive this generation.

Sony's goal is the same as Microsofts, they just don't have as much financial power, if they did they sure as hell would use it to the same degree, if not more. Look how they ruined the Dreamcast and thus ended Sega's run as a console maker. If it wern't for Microsoft entering the market it might be only a 2 horse race right now.

Microsoft is the king of video games. Nuff said. Sony fanboys just upset they spend heaps of $$$ on a system destined to fail.David_Dweedle12
I don't think it is destined to fail, it's just that Microsoft and Sony seem to have swapped positions in the Market. Nintendo are now in a world of their own.

Well when Sony allows DC online to go to 360, I'm sure they'll start to play fair.

define superior

microsoft just has more money and is able to slowly smother the compitition with greed

the only reason u think i am a ps3 fanboy is because microsoft has told you it is better for so long it has turned u into an xbox fanboy:o

Seeing as Sony essentially got its start in console gaming by stealing Final Fantasy from Nintendo... Metal Gear was originally Nintendo also, and Konami in general heavily favoured NIntendo - but, wasn't long until Castlevania and Metal Gear was Sony only. FF7 was the game that put Sony on the map, you know... After the DC, didn't the Stretet Fighter games go mainly Sony also (3rd strike, Alpha, all that Jazz)? I'd say they learned from the (previous) best. I'd also say that Cows have a short memory for how Sony got to first place - back when they were first place, or even second place, that is.

Sony just failed with the PS3. PS2 was ok tho. PS3 = Overpriced and holds nothing Superior to Xbox 360. oh? so what if it has a Blu ray player? big freakign whoop. Its not even being used to its potential. That is why 360 is superior. Oh and if anyone compares Nintendo Wii to Ps3 or 360 then your being silly. Wii is not Next Gen it is just a Gamecube that you wiggle your arms around to play with.

Please don't call it stealing. Square moved from Nintendo to Sony because of storage limitationm which was also Kojimas reasoning for MGS first appearing on a Sony platform. MGS was the beginning of an era for the Metal Gear universe and they chose to stage it somewhere where they could exploit the potential of the playstation. All i'm saying is Sony has done what Microsoft has done in recent years. They have bought up exclusive franchises and also enjoyed the high number of 3rd party games being released. It's just the way the business goes and also the way it will continue to go.

so the only reason that 360 is better in your mind is that ps3 blueray ""not even being used to its potential""

.... wth does that mean, at least it has oneeven if it is not :roll: ""not even being used to its potential"" ...?

I think I know. "I'm a PC" those are MS commercials. Let's face it, Dell, HP, and other PC manufacturers aren't battling Apple without the MS OS. In SW, I don't think MS owns PC, but in the business world, they have a massive stake in it.
