What Ronster said.

Sony has caused great harm to gaming.


Blaming Sony for Nintendo's and Sega's mistakes would be like blaming Microsoft and Nintendo for the (relative) failure of the PS3. Additionally, their game development has certainly contributed much to gaming, far more than Microsoft or Apple.

Even ignoring Nintendo and Sega (who's philosophy of consoles, I would much rather have seen victorious, and which was unfairly competed against with moneyhatting and loss-lead.) Sony's stated mission of taking over the living room, and disrupting PC gaming caused a migration of PC developers to consoles, which became even worse when MS entered to counter Sony.

Sony is the reason PC gaming isn't as great as it deserves to be, and that is unforgivable. Under Nintendo leadership, console and PC gaming were separate and both awesome. Under Sony, PC gaming is turning into a gaming ghetto and console gaming is trying to be hollywood. They ruined everything.


Sony never forced developers (except Guerilla Games) to dumb down and port their games, that was the decision of the publishers. Additionally, placing any blame on Sony for the effect Microsoft's Xbox has had on PC gaming is ludicrous.
