What amazes me how people are talking about Sony producing reliable hardware when in the respect of consoles they've only just got it right this generation! It's taken them 12 years.

The PS1 and PS2 were absolutely shoddy consoles, and as for the 360 well MS have greatly improved the quality of the console from the first major hardware revision.

 

 AMEN! +∞^2

Last time i check they say that they now have a 16% failure rate.... that's still pretty bad. And even if ps1 and 2 didn't come out so well, did they every had a 30+% failure rate??? Did they ever have a problem as infamous as the RROD??? The YLoD is practically a myth from what i see.

 

 

 

Dre Dre Dre Dre Dre Dre Dre! And its not the guy slim shady locks in his basement.

I should know, My PS3 is on the blink, 4 PS2s broke and 2 PSX broke.

Oh yea, replace that "16" with something like an 8 a 9 or a 7 a 6 or even a 5 and you'll be in the right ballpark for current reliability at my worst estimation.

 



Tease.

A better question to ask would be who is the bigger and more bad ass fanboy, Rock on 2008 or Starcraft?

Seriously Rock, give it a rest please. I am so tired of coming to gaming forum to read and discuss games and only find all the hate for Microsoft. Site like NeoGaf is full of Sony fanboys (and sadly it seems all the moderators are also). VGChartz wasn't so bad until the past few months where it seems every day there has to be a post bashing MS in some way.

Both company are corporation. They exist solely to make money and please their stockholder. I am not sure what Sony do for their home country but in the US or at least in Washington state, Microsoft provide a lot of donation for school and educational. They also donate a lot to children hospitals.

Gate Foundation also do a lot of charity work and provide a lot of funding for the poor and under develop. Personally, I find that to be a great thing that Gate is giving back to the community. What do past and present Sony CEO and founder do for community?

As for Windows and DOS, you can discuss the merit and de-merit of it all you want but without MS forcing the standard on OS we would still be back in the stone age of finding compatible drivers, installing game that take hours of tinkering and hair pulling. I hate many thing Microsoft do, like making IE part of the XP os but on the other hands the standard help bring about many good thing in computer.

I am not going to defend Microsoft certain business practice but they are no worst than any other corporation. Atari used to sue everybody and pretty much have the stranglehold on all thing video games which end up in the industry demise. Nintendo was the same way back during the 16bits cartridge era. Sony did the same thing to control the format and they bought out all the US media and movie studios so they not only controlling the hardware format but also the software.

Anyway, please give it a rest with all your MS flame-a-thon. Don't you have better thing to do like play Metal Gear Solid 4?

Tease.

Microsoft, I think when you get down to it the world would be a horrible place without the inventions made by Microsoft. However, if Sony never existed Philips or LG or whoever would have taken their place quite comfortably.

Thank you? Where did this become a compair operating systems thread? Besides, if you compaired XP to Vista at the same points in their lives, it would be virtually tied. XP had hundreds and hundreds of updates to get where it is today, Vista will get the same, and be the new XP to what ever the next MS Operating system is. I remember people whinning like bitches with skinned knees when XP came out, "This sucks! Im going back to 2000! Im going back to 98!!" But you are probably too young to remember that, so in your world I guess what you say makes sense.

 

OT: Sony has a far better brand image in peoples minds. They havnt been sued by the US Government or the European Union for Monopoly, they havnt been subject to negative press for their flagship product (Windows) and even their console didnt have to go through the horrible publicity of RROD. So on a pure consumer viewpoint standing, Sony wins.

 

Microsoft as going for it the fact that they pretty much have a peice of everything that runs this entire planet. Thats a pretty big point no?

 

Actually, I was using DOS on an 8088 for my first OS.  XP came out my first year of college and I switched to it within the year with no problems.  I have a dual boot of Vista and XP for reasons.  K.  Thanks.

 

But, yeah I agree with the rest of your post.  In non-English speaking countries, MS really seems to be very taboo as a brand.  While people on the Internet message boards know about Sony DRM practices in the past, there are much more people in the general public that know about MS and all of their scandals.

 

I realised what I said came off kind of mean, I didnt mean it that way. More like I assumed you have only delt with XP and Vista. I started on DOS-SHELL with my 086. Fun times. Anyways, XP ran like crap on my computer when I first got it, I formated and went back to 98. Now I have Vista and a computer that meets the reqs for it and am pretty happy. Just have to get used to finding everything in its new places.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Heh this post should /thread.

 



Sony cares about customer satisfaction and delivering quality products to the consumer. MicroShaft do not care all they care about is grabbing your money.
