I used to have a PS1 alongside my N64, I also have a PsP and a PS3.

That being said, it's a weird feeling I'm having cause the Ps3 has been my 2nd console of choice, or atleast my console of choice for 3rd party games. That being said, I found Sony extremely arrogant this gen. Launching a 700$ machine claiming that it's because it is by far the best machine on the market, claiming to be special cause they focus on useless things like 3D and now 4K resolution... Statement from Jack Tretton about the WiiU such as ''Welcome to the club, HD was 2007 for us'' barely 2 years after shamlessly ripping off the Wiimote. The constant fact that they think so highly of themselves despite ripping off SSB, Mario Kart, the Wiimote... Blasting the DS/3DS claiming that they were to weak to be competition to the PsP/Vita (wich was proved false :P), and finaly I heard them claiming so often things like ''Unlike Nintendo, we do mature gaming, Ps3 is for grownups wii is for kids, blahblahblah bullshit bullshit...''. So Sony completely lost me this gen. I keep playing on the Ps3 cause it is indeed a great machine, but I only feel disdain towards Sony as a company.

I would'nt mind seeing them leave the hardware race and go back towards a 2men race like back in the days with Nin vs Sega, Ninty having the handheld market all by itself would'nt be a bad thing since it was that way back in the days of the Gameboy and we had great games at the time, + they would still have competition against smartphones... One thing is certain, next gen I will buy a Wii U, and if I choose to buy a 2nd console, I'll go with Xbox8 over Ps4. First party games are'nt as good, but it has way more services and atleast they had the decency to try to contribute to the gaming industry with something new like Kinect instead of just shamlessly ripping off the Wiimote. And when M$ has an idea, they stick by it and support it, Sony only make ppl buy useless stuffs and then give up and stop supporting their ideas (they gave up on the move, gave up on the eye toy, seem to be giving up on 3d, and abandoned the PsP and I'm expecting them to do the same with the vita)

So to answer the OT, yes, Sony's struggles amuse me, if that makes me a terrible person so be it.
