Why the dislike for Sony?

[QUOTE="Banjo_Kongfooie"]

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] This nonsense has to stop. All the gens in terms of console sales have been won by Japanese companies in the States, however the 360 sales in Japan have as a % been massively lower than elsewhere in the world, so maybe if you want to the lob the jingoistic or racist card at any one ....blue_hazy_basic

Psssh get your logic out of here western racist!

360 obviously has no exclusives that appeal to the jp market...

I mean it is not like Tales of Vesperia recieved modest sales on the 360 but sold like hotcakes on the Ps3...

I mean Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, Star Ocean 4... The Japanese are not racist people... there are just many more rpgs on the PS3

One word: Envy

Wii users are mad that they don't get many multi-plats worth a crap.

Xbots are mad that they don't get many exclusives worth a crap and they have to pay to play online.

I'm a Nintendo fan,but have no problem with Sony.

I respect all sides.

[QUOTE="Zaibach"][QUOTE="DireOwl"]

I agree. That argument is spent. Nintendo isn't American either and the Wii sold more then the 360 in America. Heck Sony Bravia TVs sell great in the States.

Sony fanboys are BY FAR the worst fanboys in the world!!! Only a cow would talk their customer out of buying the competition even though their store would have benefited from the purchase.Kaszilla

You said it.

They are not AmericanZaibach

Just passing along real news but the Playstation Network made CNN's top 10 tech fails of 2011. That's just one reason I guess.

I might agree but this is not fanboy wars.

Nintendo fans are talking space beavers that turn babies into crack cocaine!

Its an association fallacy.

My final answer to this dislike for Sony.

Well your asking two different questions here, I dislike Sony the company because they trmaple on consumer rights from time to time (MS has done it too). BUT I like the Playstation because it's a bran I trust and it gives me the best experince suited to my prefrences.

As for the reason PS3 get's so much hate on here, it mostly comes from xbox fanboys because they are jealous that they don't have very many exclusives to play these days. And they see the PS3 and all it's games and it upsests them, plus the PS3 exclusives have higher production values and look better than 360 games. They arevery sensitive about it, but instead of getting mad about the PS3 they should be getting mad at MS and demand better games, because if they don't the only thing 360 gamers are going to be playing is Kinect and multiplats.

:lol:

Gotta love the optimism

Maybe because they started this gen with the primary intention of pushing a media format instead of making a great game console. They were so concerned about making blu-ray the standard media format in the future for their own financial gain that gaming took the back seat. In my opinion that is a disgrace to gaming and no gamer should support them because of that decision.Miketheman83

...When they're the company that gives back the most out of the 3? :?

Wii...90 Million sold.... = software has been in life support for quite some time now and will probably still be until Wii U release

Xbox 360...60 Million, Xbox Live Annual Fee.... = Kinect games for 2012?

I just don't understand :?

sony has been on top wont stop get stop never gonna get enough for generation after generation.

_SWAG_

I have no clue.

I'm glad you said dislike and not "hate." I dislike Sony as a company because of their arrogance. They came into the market as the underdog and hit it big by pushing for new audiences and more competition (had the Playstation not existed, Sega would have left Nintendo alone with a monopoly). Hell, had it not been for them and the Playstation, I probably would not be the gamer I am today. And this drives me nuts because they took all their success and support from the PS/PS2 and almost ran it into the ground. They charged $599 USD for their console (it was $599 CAD for the BASE model in Canada in 2006) and alienated a large portion of their fanbase solely to market their two new, un-tested technologies. Both of which have done absolutely nothing for gaming (HDD installation is more relevant than physical media, and the Cell barely outperforms similarly-priced architecture). I used to be a massive Sony fan, one of the biggest cows that ever moo'd... and they hit me so hard over the head, it knocked sense into me... which I am grateful for.foxhound_fox

Yeah. I distinctively remember you being one of the biggest cows here.

I cannot agree more. PS3 launch was a flop of epic proportions.

But often times, it's not how you start the race but how you end it that matters.

And let's face it, Sony is ending it best out of the three for the past decade. And this policy has made me respect Sony and its products even more.

PS1 was not left to dust when PS2was announced.
PS2 wasn't either when PS3 was announced.
PSP is still alive and kicking 2 months before PSVita's release.

and I'm hoping their trend continues with PS3 to PS4.

Does this give them a disadvantage entering next gen? You bet. But that doesn't stop them from leavng their old fanbase to the dust.

I'm really upset at Sony this gen. May be a long post.

-For starters, I'm on my 3rd PS3. My first two had YloD, now with my third one my controllers do not sync with the system, don't turn on, nothing. I've sent it in under warranty twice to receive it back twice not working. Now I'm being told if I send it in again I'll have to pay, or to go out and buy a new one. I've had terrible luck with my PS3s this gen, which is odd as I take extremely good care of my systems. Now my third is not working and is a paperweight, and I'm out another $300, for the fourth time. I've easily put over a grand, approaching two. I refuse to support them anymore and get treated like garbage in turn.

-The whole PSN security breach. Though I heard it was a rare occurrence after the breach, I did have suspicious activity on numerous accounts and attempts into websites at around a few weeks after it happened. Luckily no damage was done, but it was a hassle to deal with and I think it's a bit more than a coincidence. That they were using outdated security infuriates me enough.

-Various little things such as patch sizes or updates that are gigs large that take forever to DL when all I wish to do is pop in my game and play. It's a huge annoyance and makes me not want to turn on my PS3 at all. I also believe their controller is.....well, let's see.....three generations old and maybe, just maybe is in slight need of revision?

At present, I refuse to support Sony. If, if I buy another PS3, it will be refurbished or used from Gamestop and I will buy it with the sole intention of making sure Sony doesn't get a penny of my money. I would do this for games as well but I don't wish to deny the developers money for Sony's behavior. As I love games no matter what system they're on, I'm missing out on some great titles lately, but I'm livid from how Sony has treated their customers this gen. They've been extraordinarily arrogant yet have been unable to back it up.

Man you still hating on Sony for what thy did in 2006? Some gamers sure know how to keep a grudge :P

Oh damn! A Sony hate circle jerk.... Let me join in, *unzips trousers* Remember when they told us to get second jobs to buy ps3s?Zaibach

Yeah I remember! I will never forgive them for that.... I don't care if Kutaragi has left, what Sony did in 2006 still brings me so much anger I wish I never bought all those awesome games :x Im so invested in the business I cant enjoy MGS4, VC, GOW3, Y4, UC.. you name it!

I know you're joking, and I like the PS3 exclusives a lot, but you have to admit that was a pretty steep launch price. I think the 3DO was the only one that rivaled it ($700, and that was in the freakin' 1990's).

Absolutely. It was the worst launch of the last decade. But I feel enough time has passed to not dwell in the past. PS3 is a completely different beast now.

Fair point. If you feel so strongly you should sell it and purchase more games towards Wii, 360 or the PC :)

They hate Sony because of JEALOUSY. Simple as that.

They've dominated for 2 generations and these pathetic haters really, desperately wanted Sony to die this gen, but the PS3, as I see it, has simply risen from the ashes and is ALIVE and still kicking. :D

If you break it down to games & market demographics, Sony's Playstation plaforms are practically the ONLY platforms that:

1. can easily have 3rd party support (multiplats & exclusives)
2. caters to the Core gaming demographic

No, it's far from jealousy. I have all systems, in what way would jealousy benefit me or be the reason for my "hating"? My opinion of them has been formed exclusively from their past behavior. As far as I'm aware the PS3's not doing nearly as well as the PSX or PS2 did, though I could be mistaken on that.

Omg _swag_ needs to stop ****ing all bolding his text... Anyways it is clear Nintendo Wii and DS won this generation.ThumpyBowser

I'm the same way as you. I also used to be a huge Sony fan back in the PS1 & PS2 days, always thought that Sony was invincible. Then with the PS3, reality sank in for me. I didn't enjoy it as much as PS1 & PS2. Bought a used one from Gamestop back in 2008, but later on, sold it, because I needed more money at the time.

Now, I bought a 360, & I'm having a blast with it.

I don't dislike Sony nor like them. I grew up with PC gaming, and frankly, Sony has never appealed to me. Back in PS/PS2 era i was only interested in FF games which were exclusives to PS back then but that's it. I was more interested with Nintendo's systems and games. What right timing to get introduced to Nintendo (have only played SMB for Famicom and Pokemon before this gen) with the Wii instead of Sony's PS3. I could have gotten a PS3 instead of Wii but having gone through this gen, i'm glad i'm with Nintendo.
