I've noticed that every xbox exclusive title is hated on, for instance Halo one of the best fps 's I've played since Goldeneye.  This game is said to be a casual fps(whatever that means), noobified, and overrated by most.  Another example is DOA, which imo is one of the best 3D fighters out there next to Tekken(God among 3D fighting games).  The game offers beautiful and interactive environments and some colorful characters but is still seen among gamers as a noob fighter.  What really gets me is when people talk down about the game because of it's innuendo, so the chicks boob jiggles when she is punched to the ground doesn't that just add to the realism?  Then there's the games people know they can't knock due to the fact that it's an excellent game, so instead they don't give credit nor mention the game at all.  These games include Ninja Gaiden, Forza, PGR, some Rare games(Conquer, Kameo). 

I think it's because they rival some of the older already established franchises and instead of embracing, stubborn gamers rather hate than give credit!

Fanboys don't like games that are popular. Also, people think Microsoft is a money-hungry megalomaniac... However, they are describing the PS3.

Some people just don't like M$ period, myself included because of how they seem to be trying to monopolize gaming. Some people also don't like them because this is System Wars and there will always be extreme haters. But then, some cows and sheep want payback for what lemmings did to them just like Lemmings did last year. It's a never ending cycle. Some will always like a console and some wont..

What really gets me is when people talk down about the game because of it's innuendo, so the chicks boob jiggles when she is punched to the ground doesn't that just add to the realism? iceberg_shorty

Same reason people hate on Mario and Zelda for being repetitive, and MGS and FF for being cliche and silly.

Fanboys.

Fanboys. They'll hate established franchises for being the same thing over and over again, yet shun new IPs.

I've noticed that every xbox exclusive title is hated on, for instance Halo one of the best fps 's I've played since Goldeneye. This game is said to be a casual fps(whatever that means), noobified, and overrated by most. Another example is DOA, which imo is one of the best 3D fighters out there next to Tekken(God among 3D fighting games). The game offers beautiful and interactive environments and some colorful characters but is still seen among gamers as a noob fighter. What really gets me is when people talk down about the game because of it's innuendo, so the chicks boob jiggles when she is punched to the ground doesn't that just add to the realism? Then there's the games people know they can't knock due to the fact that it's an excellent game, so instead they don't give credit nor mention the game at all. These games include Ninja Gaiden, Forza, PGR, some Rare games(Conquer, Kameo).

I think it's because they rival some of the older already established franchises and instead of embracing, stubborn gamers rather hate than give credit!

Halo is a great FPS, particularly for multiplayer. Why are you digging for sympathy when you hate on Nintendo franchises like no tomorrow?

All popular franchises are hated solely because they're popular. Even though the reason they became popular is (usually) because they are excellent games.

And to the guy that said MS is trying to monopolize gaming: Every company in any industry tries to monopolize. What makes MS any different. That's the point of competition.
