Him what do you mean? What choice did ps3 gamers have. Was either accept it or not play the games.


This is the problem right here. They did have a choice of buying a 360...but brand loyalty is more important than quality these days.


As evidenced by the overwhelming lead the XB1 has over the PS4 in the US like they had last gen?

Some people just buy one system, and don't want to frontload another system purchase, it can actually be that simple.

Last gen the 360 version of games usually ran the best. This time its the PS4.

If you care about the performance of a system, then you do some research before blindly jumping onto one system.

This is so ignorant. Some people just want to have one system per gen to game on and they all have different criteria to pick said system and for some people something like "superior multiplats" just isn't one of them.

Why do you think over 5 million people bought an X1? Or over 7 million people bought a Wii U? Do you think all those people are now sitting at home being mad that their system of choice does not have the best version of multiplats/no multiplats at all or that all of them are going out to buy a PS4 or PC aside from the system they already own, so they can play the best versions of multiplats? No, for them that factor simply wasn't all that important.

And that was the same with the multiplats on PS3, people that bought those games on PS3 just didn't care that much.

This whole "we're not accepting lazy ports" crap has only started with the Wii U, where some Nintendo fans needed to find reasons to explain the poor performance of said multiplats and "people don't buy a Wii U for third party multiplats" was apparently not a reason they were willing to accept.



I'm sorry the sales of those so called "lazy ports" were NOT because Wii U owners boycotted them lol. And outside of maybe Skyrim and Bayonetta there weren't many lazy PS3 ports. Most games didn't look ALL that different from the 360 versions. At the start now yeah there was a noticeable difference but that was pretty much gone as time went on.



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

You do realize that statement runs completely counter to your brand loyalty statement yes?

Because millions of people have nowhere near the same priorities and knowledge as each and every other person. Obviously.

I didn't accept lazy ports. But I also didn't blow the whole thing out of proportion either.

Take Red Dead Redemption for example. The game, even with a resolution a little lower than on the XBox 360, still looked gorgeous and ran smoothly. It didn't bother me one bit that the game didn't look as sharp as the 360 version.

The same applies to most third party games I played. Although, I'll be honest, before I sold my XBox 360 (my third, after two RROD), I would buy the version that ran the best between the two consoles.

If only they could release Red Dead on PC...

Many ports such as Bayonetta were lazy ports. Why did PS3 owners still buy them? Look at Wii U owners. They knew their systems could do more, and boycotted lazy ports. Not PS3 owners. There were lazy ports of games that actually outsold the usually superior Xbox 360 games. Why didn't PS3 owners boycott lazy ports like Wii U owners.


Because they wanted better ports which they eventually got since they bought their games.

Sony has an equal dose of multiplats to Microsoft. The ports were slightly better on the 360 and the PS3 had its exclusives which performed generally better than the competition. There was a draw back to owning the PS3 which gave great exclusives with decent multiplats. If you werent up for comparison most were good though. As long as they were available most wont care. Its really the minority who finds a reason to complain.



The games I have on my PS3 are very decent. I know some ports were butchered, but, oh well, who cares right? We are not obligated to buy them.
I have a friend that have Bayonetta on his Ps3 and he platined the trophies of the thing. So, I guess he liked. I have the 360 version and the game makes me barf, I hate it. But that is becaus eI hate flamboyant games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta.

The PS3 actually have a lot of good games, it is a nice little console.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
