the one thing that really bums me out about the ps3

All I am saying is - if they were listening to the average joe on the street, that cat would have never made that $1,200 statement. That's a disconnect. And the PSP? It was the easiest path for the user interface. Why waste money on another interface when you have it made?

You can sit there and believe Sony - cool. I am not mad or concerned - and really don't care if you are blinded or not. But for me and quite a few gamers, we know the truth.

 

the truth? right.... arent we Mr.high and mighty.
If you have proof for this "truth" of yours, then show it.

just think about it.
If sony didnt listen to their customers complaining about how ugly the boomerang controller looks, we should have gotten the boomerang instead of the SIXAXIS.

If sony didnt listen to their customers complaining about the lack of rumble, we should never be getting the Dualshock 3 then. - they said this was last-gen, right? It's a known fact that Sony left rumble out because of the Immersion suit. After it was settled, it reappears like a case of herpe simplex. Face it - it was the consumers' demands - it was about dodging Immersion.

If sony didnt listen to their customers complaining about not having in game XMB, they wouldnt have announced that they were making it. - as I stated earlier, it was easy to just port the XMB from the PSP, not because folks were ranting about it. Cost to develop a new interface vs. using the PSP one - zip.

thats far from your claim

"Here's your problem right here - Sony has NEVER cared about gamers - they have never listened, especially in this generation."

I dont know what made you feel that way, but I think we have enough evidence here to prove that your claim is false and that Sony listens to gamers to some extent. Now you can sit there and believe Sony doesn't care one bit about their customers - cool. I am not mad or concerned - and really don't care if you are blinded or not...... yeah right back at you... False? Are you on the Sony payroll? If Sony had cared, they would have never:

Pimped their PS brand to push Blu Ray

They wouldn't have placed their bets on the chance that Blu Ray may or may not have won the format war (see UMD, BetaMax, Minidiscs and that whack ATRAC format)

Never, ever would have considered axing rumble just because of a lawsuit

Wouldn't have dropped a core value like BC just to stop the bleeding.

Sony's a joke - and then, to make matter worse, they are using profits from the PS2 and PSP just to keep the PS3's losses from dragging the gaming division down.

Daily, I am convinced that Sony's win last-gen was just pure luck, based on folks buying their PS brand and not based on intelligence.

Lastly, I am rather calm. Maybe a coorespondence course in basic English Lit would help you understand tone and such.
