I certainly think it's the best thing to happen to videogame industry that Sony is last place. They deserve it all the way. From being arrogant, to repeatedly break promises or create false publicity, they need to realize that people are smarter than this. The worst part is Sony used one of their best division to win a format war. That, in itself, is a huge sin for all true gamers out there, though thankfully for Sony, some gamers were assimilated by Sony's marketing team.

 

I don't get this. Firstly this whole thread stinks of fanboy console bashing. It also shows the insecurity of quite a few of you. Like everything that is popular, people must bring it down. Because Sony knows what the fuck they were doing for the last 2 gens and were successful they deserve to be in last this gen?

What exaclty did Sony boast about and not actually do? What promises have they broken, or not working on actually accomplishing?

Yea, Sony is arrogant, and so is Microsoft and Nintendo. What is your point? Sony said people would buy their system regardless of price. Uh....HELLO!!! They were right, they still are the most pricey console in history yet they still maintain to be in the game(which others have never done). Nintendo is now in constant high spirits regardless of the fact majority of their fanbase feels jiped. No matter what you say to them, they come back with "Well we sold more consoles this way so..........you dont matter anymore". Or Microsoft, who never fails to boast about how they are ahead by a measly margin(for a console that came out a yr before and is less then half the price of the PS3). Or how MS relishes in the fact they "convince" 3rd parties to go MPlatform.

And spare me the whining over BD being put into the PS3. It is not a Trojan horse, it is preperation for the future. The whole point of moving into "next gen" is that we MOVE ON from old thought types and practices, try something new. Yet because it is pricey it was a really bad idea right? So what if BD didnt cost as much as it does to put in the PS3, would you still hate it? Ignore the fact that BD killed HD DVD, or that BD is taking hold at a similar pace to DVD did. OH NO, it is SOOOO bad because it is Sony, those arrogant pricks!

This is nothing short of a case of "Kick the champ while he is down" circle jerk.
