Why does the PS3 recievie so much hate??

My topic says it all.

Almost every where I go the PS3 receives so much hate and i want to know why. So far I was able two major Ps3 bashing points and some other little ones. The major ones are the price of the PS3 and the PS3 gaming library. I'm prepared to show that Most these stuff are wrong so hold on for the ride.

The Gameing libray of the PS3

2007 certainly was lacking for PS3 game-wise, but there is much more coming out in 08/09! I have made a list with PS3 games to show that the statement, "The PS3 has no games." is none sense. (THERE ARE SOME RUMOURED GAMES IN THE LIST TOO!)

Exclusives

Metal Gear Solid 4

Final Fantasy XIII (+ Versus)

Uncharted

Uncharted 2 (rumoured)

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Gran Turismo 5

God of War 3 (*drool everywhere*)

Folklore

Haze

Killzone 2

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Heavenly Sword

Jak and Daxter

Ratchet and Clank

LittleBigPlanet

MotorStorm

MotorStorm 2

WarDevil

WarHawk

Tekken 6

White Knight Chronicles

Zone of the Enders 3

Resistance: Fall of Man

Resistance 2

Yakuza 3

Infamous

Socom confrontation

---------------------

Multiplats

Burnout Paradise

Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit

Army of Two

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Call of Duty 4

Grand Theft Auto 4

Devil May Cry 4

Assassin's Creed

Far Cry 2

Soulcalibur 4

Condemned 2

Rock Band

Orange Box

Resident Evil 5

Dynasty Warriors 6

Battlefield Bad Company

GRAW 2

Dark Sector

Midnight club 4

Well, if that isn't enough games well then I don't know what is. (I only stopped with the multi plats because my hand was getting tired.) So I proved my point. Xbox 360, on the other hand, does not have such a long list of exclusive games that I could not just get on my PC. Granted, some people prefer console gaming to PC, but given the choice I will choose PC any-day, and so 360 does not pose such an intimidating list of exclusives. Here is a list I have compiled of 360 games worth playing that aren't available on PC.

Halo 3 (probable PC release anyway)

Mass Effect

Ninja Gaiden 2

Forza 2

Project Gotham Racing 4

Banjo Three

Too Human

Fable 2

---------------------

In the end of it all I think the Xbox 360 is lacking in the games department. Although some people complain Xbox 360 multiplats are better, thats only because the PS3 is a year younger. Devs will get better with the PS3 and the In game XMB (custom soundtracks and in game messaging) and Dual Shock 3 is on its way in 08 so the PS3 multiplats will be equal or maybe even better. I must admit games get delayed to much on the PS3 and that is really annoying.

The Price

This is one of the most non-sensical things I have ever heard. Lemmings complain the ps3 is too expensive but let me work the math for them.

40gb PS3=$399

20gb 360=$349 BUT you still need $100 dollars for wireless and $180 for HD DVD PLAYER and $60 for Xbox LIVE so all you need to pay for all these things which the PS3 has right out of the box. So in total your xbox 360 costs....a massive $690.

Isn't the ps3 WAY more cheap?

Graphics

Now a lot of people will tell you that PS3 graphics aren't as smooth as the 360's, but I researched this and the reason for this is the devs aren't used to programming games for PS3 yet. Do not forget it is a year younger than 360. However anyone who has played Uncharted or Heavenly Sword will testify to the graphical brilliance the PS3 can produce, and it is only a matter of time before multiplats will start looking equally as good, if not better on PS3, negating the whole "360 GFX >>>> PS3 FTW!" argument.

Other (for want of a better word)

• Less than 1% of PS3's are defective, 33% of Xbox 360's are defective. Do you really want to buy a console knowing that every one in three will stop working?
• PS3 is a Blu-Ray player, which cost something like $600
• PS3 is Folding @home capable, Linux capable, 3rd party Blue-tooth (keyboards, headsets) capable, and WiFi capable
• PS3 uses Dolby TrueHD, 360 does not.
• PSN is free online with dedicated servers (Xbox LIVE may be better but again give it time to grow.)
• PS3 controller can be charged via the console, 360 controllers require change of batteries each time and hey it cost money.
• PS3 games are Blu-Ray media, holding about 50GB worth of game information, making for some kick-ass lengthy RPG's (enter FFXIII) and quality, uncompressed audio. 360 games are Dual Layered DVDs holding a maximum of 9GB.
• PS3 uses HDMI 1.3, 360 uses HDMI 1.2

So please answer my question : Why does the PS3 recieves so much hate?

I took some info from 'Playstation 3: A defense'.

You just answered your own question.Nemme

No, he didn't. Which thread were you reading?

To the TC: Flameboys like to take a small thing and magnify it way out of proportion in order to make a point.

2 things:

1. Your post is way to long.

2. It's not near as bad as it was a year ago. I think it's starting to turn the corner here at system wars.

That's one of the main reasons I dislike the PS3, it's fanbase. Take a look at the poster before you.

Whats not nearly as bad? The PS3 or the hate?

As for the PS3, there has never been anything wrong with it, aside from price and games. As a system it's near perfect, my only complaint is lack of in game XMB and custom soundtrack (at the moment).

Honestly, I favor PlayStation, but I hate the PlayStation only, the Xbox only, the Nintendo only fans.

Basically the ones that stick with one company, most are so CLOSED minded, foolish and ignorant.

Because they're jealous of Sony always being the best for reasons somewhere in their subconscious mind.

They choose rediculous behavior against Sony because they are under dog fans. They see MS as an under dog and thus support them instead of supporting a proven winner(Sony) that always makes the best top notch console every time they release 1.

As time passes haters will see the value that Sony offers.

wow

..this posts pretty much sums up why people DONT like sony or its hardcore fans

people hate it because instead of looking at the console for what it is, a great console with good games, they dont like sony for being arrogant or whatever at e3 and stuff.

ps3 is wicked and i spend hours on it, maybe too much.

Your devotion is kind of unearving. Has Sony done anything in regards to the PS3 in your eyes?

PS3 has no games origin - many people already purchased an xbox so most of the multiplatform game they will buy for xbox also they tend to look and play better,have better support and a much larger community. At launch PS3 showcased NO titles that show what it could do in terms of power. All current exclusives suck (yes i own a PS3 ) or are just very average with nice graphics (uncharted). A certain ex-Sony rep hyped up the PS3 soo much that it would obviously fail to deliver on all counts,because of this many disgruntld potential buyers went with the xbox due to its cheapness and readily available games. Also the potential for PC exclusive games to, in the future appear on the Xbox was also a major advantage.

As for all the future exclusives,the point is there in the future and we tend to live in the present so the xbox was the better console to choose at this point

No doubt the PS3 is the best console it has just failed to deliver,te future looks bright for the PS3 but also it looks just as bright for the Xbox

*EDIT* Besides,most of those exclusive suck or have been out played my xbox games e.g GT, RFom

Wow you are indeed childish.

I don't know, but what I know is that you didn't list some of the Xbox 360 games that recieved good scores like Perfect Dark Zero. If you wanted to do this fairly, which I doubt, you should have been equally aware of the 360 games as well as PS3 games.

Finally, the number of exculsives are pointless. Do you know how many of the PS3 exclusives will have good scores out of all those you listed? How many of the Cows are going to buy all those games? I bet Cows have more multiplats than exclusives and that goes for Lemmings as well. Instead of worrying about obscure exclusive title like Heavy Rain, LA Noire, or Haze that most people won't get, focuse on the MULTIPLATS and games like MGS 4, FFXIII, and Resistance 2. That's where the gaming goodness is.

Sony was the best system for a couple of gens then all of a sudden it fell on its face with the PS3 and with that comes backlash. So you could say the PS3 is like Britney Spears, Britney was liked in the early years, now every one hates the beezy. Same thing with Sony, it was the king before now it seems like its the jester, a joke.

So the answer would be simply: Sony.

I don't hate the console itself. I hate the fanboys.

PS3 gets a terrible reputation on Gamespot, due in no small part to its own overzealous fanbase.

ooooh so you don't like a console because of the people that have it! :roll: buddy you are truley the definition of fanboy. I hope you can understand that you're what makes system wars funny as hell.

btw, in the future, please refrain from trying to be smart by posting "you just answered your own question" with no context as to wtf you're talking about. no one knows what you're talking about, the tc made valid points, and you come off looking like a fool.

I have no problem with the Playstation 3, I have a problem with Playstation fanboys.

If people just kept their mouths shut and didn't try to pass off personal opinion as fact there wouldn't be any arguments.
