I just got into next-gen gaming and I'm wondering where do these extreme PS3 haters come from? Didn't they (along with everyone else) own a ps2 last generation?

I mean, I understand where Xbox360 and Wii haters originate but the PS3 haters just confuses me.

They are probably not the new gamers that were introduced to gaming through the wii, I'm guessing.

What do you think?

A lot of them were PS2 diehards who felt like Sony wanted to take advantage of them. the PS3 of today is NOT the same PS3 of launch. Or even a year after launch. While I would be considered an Xbot, I couldn't say that the PS3 isn't an excellent system with excellent games. However, when it launched, it charged a ridiculous premium for no return. Even a year after launch, this was the case. The PlayStation brand lost a lot of fanboys, and a lot of its strength during that period. And while they've dropped the price substantially and now have a great game lineup, the feelings of many remain.

Also, some people hate Sony for killing Sega.

And lastly, Sony's PR doesn't make them any friends.

They're also responsible for turning Nintendo into a mediocre company. How is anyone supposed to forgive them for that?
