| Immortal said: Your analysis is good, but your premise was already wrong. It's not because they don't have good games (that just happens incidentally to be true, :P). I dislike MS and Sony for reasons quite specific to them - the fact that they aren't actually gaming companies and have other priorities - and this makes them, to me, an evil, outside force in the industry, so to speak. Their presence in the industry and their being supported by good games only hurts the industry, in my opinion. Also, I just dislike their hardware as well; it's too expensive and unreliable. This means that their problems persist even if they get good games and their getting good games doesn't really fix anything - it only increases the popularity of their hardware and the popularity of this problem in the industry. Mind you, this is just an example of "justified" fanboyism. I'm sure lots of people have similar arguments against Nintendo or for whichever hardware company they support, making their arguments coherent, even if I disagree. I mean, I'm sure lots of people hate Nintendo for having low-end graphics and promoting kiddie games and think that Nintendo will force everyone to make kiddie games with crappy graphics if third parties support them. I think it's a bad argument for various reasons, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it. |
So, do you agree with the example in the first paragraph? Or is it just an example unrelated to you?
