what reasons did you never jump on the playstation bandwagon?

[QUOTE="doubalfa"]I don't know why but there is a lot of people I've read from the U.S. that think that North America is a country and not an area of a continent including more than one country, and if Im not mistaken still Guatemala is Central Americalowkey254

True. In spanish the correct way is actually the equivalent of United Statesmen(Estadounidense).

People who reside in the US are incorrectly referred to as "Americans" when they should actually be called North Americans. The same holds true for Canadians as they are part of North America.

how was he being racist?

Well...

When my siblings and I were all kids we grew up with the NES, and SNES, so my mom bought us the N64. Never had a PS1 until around 2000ish when I really wanted one of those mini PS1's just in time for this road trip we were going on. It was amazing I thought, and you could get games so cheap at this time. I remember buying all the Crash games, Spyro games, Syphon Filter games, Final Fantasy Origins, FF Tactics, and also Medal of Honor. Soooooo much fun.

Last gen I owned all four consoles, and did some PC gaming on the side, and the PS2 was just never that good I thought. I had way more fun on everything else.

And now I don't care about the consoles at all, so I'm not going to ever buy a PS3.

I just don't have the time or energy to worry about 2 systems. I barely have enough time to play the few games I have for the 360. I like the ps3's exclusives, but it's not worth the hassle for me buying another console.

No money to buy the system and the games.

You needed to add "Because I live in the USA". Because that's the only country in the world that the 360 sells more in.

What reasons did you never jump on the playstation bandwagon? I never jumped on the playstation bandwagon. Ive never bought something playstation in my life. I had a n64 then xbox then xbox 360. I liked the games on n64 better with ones like turok 2,super mario 64 and killer instinct. Then on xbox I liked it because it was made by microsoft an american company.So I bought xbox 360 for the same reason and that I finally got broadband to play xbox live. I guess my reason is the alternative was always better.

thats such a ridiculous reason to buy a console.

Ah well..ur loss.

What's even more disturbing, some of them are NOT smart enough to realize the 360 is NOT exactly made in America :lol:

Is that first option for real?

The exclusives didn't really appeal to me, and in the PS2 era, the multiplats were inferior nearly by definition. That being said, I do own a PS2, but it never became by primary gaming platform.

Piracy is a major issue in South America, which is why the Xbox 360 sells more hardware units. My friend whose family lives in Guatemala said that every one of his cousins has an Xbox 360, but they don't buy games for the systems because they can just download them.

I was born into the Sony bandwagon. My father was a Sony fanboy, my uncle was a Sony Fanboy, I am a Sony fanboy. Heck my dog is a Sony fanboy, hence his name is Sony ! :D

Yeah, it's definitely easy to just go and download some PS3 ISOs to a modified PS3 harddrive. :roll:

My friends have 360's, but the biggest reasons? The xbox controller is more comfortable and Gears of War, Forza, Halo, Project Gotham Racing, Burnout Revenge aren't on the PS3.

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] I was thinking the same thing.

Because it is better to be on the own all systems bandwagon. That way I can play any awesome game that comes out whether it be on only one system or I can chose any multiplat and play with whatever controller I am most comfortable with.

Because my pc offers me more than the consoles...

Lack of money , need for something new , and stubbornness. I tuned out and ignored all the good PS3 exclusives and fantastic gaming companies that were going to be making games for that system and convinced myself that sales mattered, Halo is cooler than it really is , and that Sony was out of touch. I jumped the gun. Now Microsoft raised the online fee to add insult to injury.

I went with the original Xbox over the PS2 because it was a far superior piece of hardware able to run PC style games including multiplayer (Halo, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden games, Splinter Cell games, Knights of the Old Republic, Forza, Half-Life 2, Jade Empire, Chronicles of Riddick, ES: Morrowind, Doom 3, etc.).

I went with the Xbox 360 first (before buying a PS3 about two years later) because Xbox Live is superior to PSN and the vast majority of multiplatform games look/run better on the Xbox 360.

Because not a single one of the exclusives interests me, and I like everything about the Xbox better than the PS3.

as much smack i talk about sony... i actually respect them... i have a ps2... and i will buy a ps3 after this gen is over.

this. i'd prefer they switch over to the ps3, but i don't see that happening. plus the updates and installs are a little rediculous. i love the metal gear solid series and some of the older playstation rpgs (ff7,ff9, vagrant story, parasite eve) but the online aspect of playing with my friends is way funner than playing cool rpgs by myself.

I always liked the competition's offerings more.

Playstation was always expensive for me, and even now its still incredibly expensive. There also no games that intrest me.

The main reason is playstation platforms never have exclusive games that appeal to me. For PS1, I liked Fighting Force, but that's really it. I already gamed on Saturn, N64, and the PC, so I passed on it. PS2 had nothing I cared about, and compared to the library of games, graphics, and online play between the DC, GCN, Xbox, and PC, I never saw the hype. I got one late in its lifecyle, but it's just a dust collector. PS3 is a carbon copy of the xbox imo, and doesn't have exclusives that appeal to me. The PSP has 0 games on it that I care about, and I wish I never had bought it.

Oh, and besides the games, I HATE the ps controller.

What is this, a lemming roll call? :P I don't see why someone wouldn't enjoy both consoles. Halo, Gears, MGS, Uncharted, etc..., etc.... In the spirit of SW , though, why would anyone except girls be happy with the direction MS has taken with Kinect centricity and still be staunch MS only supporters?Deathtransit

Kinda funny, halo is the only 360 game i even think is worth playing on xbox, i really hate gears of war, and epic.

I think the ps3 actually has better games, such as demon souls and a few others, but i play my ps3 and xbox combined probably 5% of the time.

I owned a PS1 and loved it but couldn't stand PS2 or it's games. To me they were shells of what they could have been if designed on the clearly more powerful and feature-rich Xbox.

I also couldn't stand Sony's arrogance and trying to change peoples perception of what they had hardware-wise versus what the reality of their hardware was: overhyped and extremely underpowered compared to the competition. The Xbox was clearly 3 times as powerful as PS2 but Sony wouldn't have you believe that while M$ has never with either consoles talked about "power of this" and "power of that". It's all Sony bull**** propaganda.

Same with PS3. I've owned one and played every exclusive and they all look and play like something I saw and played on Xbox or 360 years ago. Heavily scripted, extremely linear, corridor-based games don't impress me and obviously look as good as they do because they're developed that way with only one route and one way to play. Opened up, these games look like crap like Infamous at best. No thanks.

Being an Xbox fan since day 1, Sony and it's games and consoles feel like cheap knock-off bizarro versions of the real thing and their hardware has yet to impress me since no matter what propaganda Sony is spouting off this week Xbox games still look better to me because they're just developed how the dev wants them. PS3 games have to be designed a specific way to get around hardware limitations one exact way or they don't work or look right.

Maybe if Sony focused on making games like they did during the PS1 era instead of knocking off games and features Xbox has already done or did even last gen I'd like PS3 more. And make some real hardware for a change instead of weak ass smoke and mirrors bull****. Cell this and Bluray that. It's all bull****. The games still don't look impressive and the features of the console are all things Xbox did first. Sony fans should be thankful for features and games PS3 does have because M$ forced them to do it. You'd still be using memory cards, multitaps and playing offline with no shooters like KZ3 in sight if it wasn't for Xbox paving the way .
