Sony deserve even a little bit of your respect

for all of those ps3 haters you still have to thank sony. come on sony is the one who brought us the ps1 and the ps2 and those 2 consoles revolutionize the way people play games. those consoles brought us really really great games such as Final fantasy 7,8,910, metal gear solid 1 & 2, marvel vs. capcom, shadow of the colossus, god of war 1 & 2, chrono cross, gran turismo, etc...

and now all this hate you even bash the creator of the playstation wow have we have no sense of gratitude...

yeah yeah the ps3 is not doing as good as its predecesor but come on let us at least be thankful for what sony did to the gaming industry, it brought it back to life.

(this also goes to nintendo and microsoft they all contributed to gaming but i believe not as huge as Sony did)

I don't respect corporate entities that don't give a damn whether I get hit by a train or not.

you can't just look at that in a vaccum. remember that the ppl that started out playing atari and NES also grew up and by the time of ps1 and ps2 many (like me) were in college or just out of college. we still gamed and our view of games was not that they were just children's toys. if you ask senior citizens they still see them as toys.

Thank you Sony, for glady excepting my money for the ps1, and MULTIPLE times for the PS2 (disc read error). And also thank-you for making the price of the ps3 so high, because if you didn't than I would have certainly bought a ps3 and I would now have a console with no games.

.......On a less-sarcastic note, if we are going to be showing gratitude towards a gaming company for their contributions, why wouldn't it be Nintendo? They were responsible for the rise of gaming following the video game crash in the 80's. They really popularized home consoles. All Sony really did was capatilize off of this.

On top of that, Nintendo is responsible for many of the features that we list as being standard today. Rumble. Shoulder buttons. The controller analog stick.

but unfortunately i became a gemer during the time of sony's dominance i had never touch a nintendo console maybe for about 10 years now.

but i am thankful of nintendos seriously

Sony made things much easier/fair for third parties.

wow really they did nothing????? so you never had a ps1 and ps2heaven_in_hell

I consider myself a bit of an old school gamer, and I think back to all the launches through all the years and I have to ask

What did Sony with the PS1 really break new ground on?

Where they the first CD based system? actually they were 9th, (Turbografix CD, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar CD, Philips CDi, Panasonic 3do, Neo Geo CD)

Where they the first to offer "Moveable" memory? 4th (Sega CD, Atari Jaguar CD, Sega Saturn)

Where they the first to offer four player support games (even through you needed to buy a multitap) 4th (SNES, Turbografix, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar)

The first to not include a game at launch? Yes!

The first not to include two controllers at launch? Yes!

If I have to give credit to PS at all it would be that they really made the CD format more mainstream and allowed for any mom and pop publisher to release a game, but in all fairness Sega Saturn was doing that nearly a full year before Sony was.

[QUOTE="pop1233"]sony did nothing for the gaming industry nintendo did alot more.kevy619

Sony made things much easier/fair for third parties.

then they shafted them with the PS3 - have you not read the countless articles about developers being extremely annoyed that sony for the first time didn't consult with any of them when designing the PS3.

it's no surprise they're losing 3rd party support like a slot jockey loses nickels.

Now we are spliting hairs,

While the duel analog was the first offering that offered two thumb sticks, it was hardly the first controller that offered duel full range directional pads. One could argue that the N64's Stick and fully directional "D Pad" is a duel mode, as the PS controller even the original had a N S E W set up.

If we want to go WAY back I have an old Intellivision double pad control base, and I am fairly sure that the Sega Master system offered a "Sports Controller" that offered that but I would have to look into my old controller bin to confirm if its two sticks or a stick and a four direction pad.

So technically YES Sony was the first to offer TWO sticks, but not two multi direction pads.

it was something but not major since it was really just adding another rather than a risk or new idea. it's like going from 8 or 16 bit. and adding more buttons on a controller. it was the obvious progression.

I'd say that Sony did do backward compatibility on consoles first. and also pushed for consoles to be more than just gaming systems (for better or worse).

lol WHAT? When did I say that was ok? I never even mention MS in ANY of my posts in this thread, so where you are getting that from is beyond me. All I said was that I had to buy multiple ps2's because of an error, and my money went to Sony each time. If you agree...great...if you don't agree, than taht's cool too. But you are trying to turn this into an MS vs Sony thing and it just makes you look pathetic.

But now that you've brought it up: if a 360 breaks, the user sends no money to MS, they fix it for free. So while both situations sucks, the ps2 burns a larger hole in the pockets.

For CD's Sony is the first,

But in all fairness aside from Sega who really launched more then one CD or Disc based console at that time?

But for backwards compatability Atari beat them to it by nearly two full decades, I could play 2600 games on my 5200

As for more then just gaming consoles, while the PS2 did include a DVD player its not the first time that the concept had been entertained, the Atari 7800 had an SIO port and a "multimedia" expansion port which was orginally suppose to be used for an external Laser Disc Player.

yes but we were gamers to begin with, there were a lot of aduts that began playing for the first time in the 32 bit era, probably because of the 3D

first to use the actual cd format yes i now turbo cd ect. but it was not the same cd's they use for music cd. they were they first to have m rating games. they were they first to have portible memory cards so you can play your game on your friends system. they were the first to have 8 buttons on a controler.

I gave them credit on the first page, your not telling me anything new here.

I used the dual analogs quite a bit with the ps1, so I guess we just agree to disagree there. And even still, the inability to control the camera properly would make a seriously dent in the various genres that are popular today.

Sony had my respect 15 years ago when a Sony product meant quality. I remember the days when a Sony Walkman or Discman actually stood for something. Now Sony's brand name means it will fail to work right after the warranty is up and they won't do squat to replace or repair it.

Sony once meant something, now that name means crap to me and anyone else who demands to get what you pay for.

and now all this hate you even bash the creator of the playstation wow have we have no sense of gratitude...

yeah yeah the ps3 is not doing as good as its predecesor but come on let us at least be thankful for what sony did to the gaming industry, it brought it back to life.

(this also goes to nintendo and microsoft they all contributed to gaming but i believe not as huge as Sony did)

...most current games would be IMPOSSIBLE without dual analog...that's pretty major if you ask me.

most current gamers would be impossible without more than 2 or 4 buttons but we don't go crazy over adding extra buttons do we?

We don't..but I guess we should. Personally i really don't go "crazy" over anything gaming related, but that's just me. but with what you said, the evoultion of the controller was absolutly necessary.

it was necessary but the key points were the addition of something new. not the mere addition of and extra.

We were talking about what specific companies have broughten to gaming. I don't see how being the first to have dual analog sticks that give rise to pretty much every game we play today is not a strong contribution to gaming. I'm not saying Sony invented something completly new, I'm not saying they invented something that was completly out of nowhere and unimaginable. All I'm saying is that it was a contribution that shaped today's gaming.

Maybe you disagree, and that's fine. But personally I consider the integration of any component that is widely used today to be significant.

Video games do not feed me and they are not essential for life. But I were to go about your analogy then I'd say this. I bite Sega, I have bitten Nintendo. Why should I exuse Sony?

You're giving Sony wayyyy to much credit. All they did was follow in Atari and Nintendos footsteps. They came out with 2 consoles that happened to be the most popular at that time. They didn't re-invent gaming nor did they revolutionize it. Atari brought gaming to the main stream with Nintendo following right after. Most of probably don't remember Atari since I'm sure you weren't born then.

If you want to thank anyone thank Atari and Nintendo. They were household names loooong before Playstation ever was.

sorry but im no cow i m just a guy who like to be thankful for the good things people gave, giving and will give meheaven_in_hell

I'm thankful to be alive, to have a job, to have caring family and friends, that I can walk, see and hear, that I have good health and a healthy baby girl. I'm NOT thankful some Japenese mega corp decided to make a videogame console in order to make millions of dollars and one day hope to monopolize the genre. If they gave me a PSone, PS2 or PS3 for free then I would thank them. there are MANY more things to be thankful for then Sony creating the Playstation.
