Which is kind of sad because I really like sony a lot, but I feel myself siding with microsoft a lot on here just because I feel they are getting the short end of the stick. |
Now it's MS that's getting the short end of the stick? Two years of Sony/PS3 bashing (inaccurately bashing most of the time btw), but a few MS bashing threads (most are accurately bashing them for dirty tactics, etc) over a few months is making you feel that way? I wonder what you were doing in Sony/PS3 bashing thread a year or more ago. Were you agreeing that the PS3 was not as powerful as the X360 or the PS3 wasn't meant for gaming threads? How about the "no games" threads just a little over a year ago? There was PLENTY of Sony/PS3 bashing over 2 years because those people were/are misinformed. There are people still thinking the Blu-ray drive in the PS3 is slower than the DVD drive in the X360. There are people still thinking that the Blu-ray drive cost Sony $300+ per PS3 at launch. It was actually just $125. They were using that to bash the PS3 for being $600 instead of $400 at launch. The fact that the console was subsidized more than ANY console in history (near $300) BECAUSE OF the Blu-ray push didn't even register in their heads. They didn't realize the BD drive was basically free to consumers. The point of all that was to say Sony/PS3 should get a free pass for, AT LEAST, a year or more of INaccurate bashing like MS/X360 had. However a lot of the MS/X360 bashing threads are accurate.
