I don't care for which company one falls in love with. I only care for the therapy. I've seen people loving trees but at least those have some kind of metabolism.

I don't really love Sony as a company but I appreciate their line of products.

I like their TV's and stereo's and have owned several car stereo's and a two regular stereo's made by them, their cameras and discman are also very good.
They also made the two consoles I've clocked the most hours by far, on and despite some hardware problems, my first PS2 (purchased in 2002) is still alive and well.
They also have some great game developers on their team.
Lastly, I also really like their cellphones, have had no problems with the three Sony Ericsson's I've owned in the past 7 years.

Like I said; the company itself could certainly stand to shape up but their products are fine. The same kinda relationship I have to Microsoft, really, I can appreciate a product without being in love with the people behind it.

Roma, why are you makign such a weird OP? Nintendo are fresh and new? Really? They don't have over 100 games featuring Mario, 14 Zelda's and otherwise many franchises still running that stem from the 80's?
Sony has done nothing new at all and just copy?
Spyro, Jak, Ratchet & Clank, Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Tohshinden, Gran Turismo, 3D Final Fantasy and the first one with voiceacting, Need for Speed, Loaded, Twisted Metal, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Ridge Racer, Jumpin' Jack Flash, GTA both 2D and 3D, Driver just to name a few, were all games and concepts that were born on PS consoles and the original PS revolutionized the industry in its time, having features and games never before seen on a console or even PC (full CD-ROM support, Audio-CD's, built in audio and video codecs for better video and hardware that was on par with or almost better than standard PC's at the time).

I you think that all the above examples (I could make more, these were just the ones that immideatly sprung to mind) are plagiarized or blatantly copied, then surely everything Nintendo has made is taken from Atari and everything MS has made is from Sony and/or PC?
I know you're not a Sony or Playstation fan (like so many in here) but I had no idea that you were capable of being this incoherent and irrational. When you took a shot at tremble's post you're really making even worse; bad hardware? So everything Sony makes is unreliable? Phones, cameras, TV's stereo's, consoles, discs etc?
Ugly consoles? Certainly no more than others, I have never seen a pretty console, myself.
Socom might be bad so every Sony published or devloped title must be crap as well?
Number 4 is strange, I agree.
I too love the dualshock controller, between that and the N64 one, I was set for years!
Number six is true, PS and PS2 had a vast variety of games from all parties, whether they came from third, second or first party developers don't matter, they are still available on the platform (s), you're just being childish here imo.

Come on, get real, give credit where credit is due, saying Sony has nothing to offer to anyone and that they've done nothing for the entertainment industry (games, movies, music) is beyond anything I think I've heard in here.
