People dont like PS3 because it is very expansive, sony called X360 "Xbox 1,5"
|
I agree, the PS3 is very expansive. Lots of cheap industry standard expansions like 320 GB harddrives for the same price you buy a 120 GB 360 harddrive, PlayTV, lots of firmware updates and new service being introduced. Not to mention the core hardware features are better, like my Nintendo DS has Wi-Fi, but on the 360 you pay something like 60 Euros for this and the console doesn't even come with online play out of the box...
Do you have an exact quote with regard to your XBox 1.5 comment? Who said this? I can imagine Sony stating the PS3 is far more powerful than the 360, but that's something else.

Ken Kutaragi - "the Xbox 360 is more of an Xbox 1.5 than a next generation console."
And look what happened to him.

Good old Ken Kutaragi, First he was a thief in the early days of the first playstation during the Famicom-playstation project and then he became a liar when he said that the 360 was "xbox 1.5" .............no wonder i hate that rat.

It's funny how you guys hate him for things he "said". I don't think I've ever heard true PR in my life which is why I don't listen to PR period. If you put the PR aside, you'd realize that Ken is a man who had a vision, worked his way up to get that vision and ended up expanding the gaming industry beyond the "kiddie" stereotype to people who could spend their own money to play games. He made 2 hugely successful consoles, however, one failure regardless of past success gets you crucified. Such is the human way. This is why Ken was fired...he finally failed.
He's won lifetime achievement awards for what he's done, there's a reason for that.

The most "unworthy" winner of a lifetime achievement award in the history of mankind, he's a thief.
Bottom line______________________

He never stole anything. The story I'm familiar with is that Kutaragi (not sony) wanted to work with nintendo to introduce a disc system into the snes but got the shaft. Nintendo decided to go with phillips or something because they didn't want to introduce sony to the gaming industry. Sony finally got in the industry because Kutaragi was close to sony's CEO then and he convinced him to fund the PS project. Thus a system I finally thought worth buying was created. If you think he copied nintendo or someone else for the prototype or something, it wasn't beyond the legal realm. Many said M$ copied apple in designing vista but using existing tech to create a new one is never a crime. If it was copyright infringement (which is criminal), Kutaragi/sony would have been sued.
He deserved the award for changing the face of the gaming industry period.
You seem heavily entrenched in your beliefs anyway so I get the feeling I'm barking up a tree.

Ken was inspired to get in to gaming when he saw his daughter playing a mario game, he then works alongside nintendo to gain as much hardware and software knowledge as he possibly can and more than likely get inside info on other developers who worked for nintendo on a 3rd party basis, then the Famicom-playstation project is called off and Ken "thief" Kutagari goes running like a scalded dog to sony with all the development, hardware and software knowledge that he had stolen, thats how i see it and i'm not the only one.
|
Wow, so learning from others is now a crime lol. Note that nintendo was the one who called off the project. Sony wasn't interested in gaming, Ken was and he needed some backing that why he went to nintendo even behind his bosses backs. It was his closeness to the then sony CEO that spared him the axe and even got his "learned ideas" into motion.
He was even the one who told his daughters story, thus, admitting that nintendo inspired him and thats now a bad thing. What has the world turned to?

The famicom-playstation project was cancelled due to naming rights, nintendo hired sony yet sony wanted the naming rights despite the FACT that they were the hired company, are you suprised that nintendo called the whole thing off? Again typical sony, wanting maximum profit for MINIMUM effort.
