Why I switched from PlayStation to Nintendo

I used to be a big PlayStation fan back in the PS1 days and the Spyro games were my favorite. I felt right at home, but over time it became more and more apparent that Sony and I had to part ways. While I grew up to leave my teenager years behind me, Sony refused to do the same. For the handful of female members we have around here, let me point out the entire scope of a male teenager's brain:

1) Is she hot?
2) If yes, how hot is she?

This mindset doesn't only apply to how male teenagers perceive women, but everything else as well. While I began to look at the finer details of games, Sony was still stuck in a mentality where only superficial things really mattered. The advancement of technology became less important to me over time, because a mediocre game with pretty graphics would still be a mediocre game. I wanted my games to be great at their core, not full of distractions that covered up for an unpolished/unbalanced game. You might say that good gameplay and good graphics are not mutually exclusive and you would be right for saying this. That's why I switched to Nintendo who have the highest batting average when it comes to making games like that.

I still follow the news on Sony systems and games, but time and time again I end up being disappointed, because they are unwilling to change. The PS4 announcement wasn't an exception to this rule, but further confirmation. I hope that one day I can own a Sony system without regrets again, but until then I'll stick to Nintendo games.

That is very biased, you like Nintendo, good for you, but don´t use your man-hater-mind to justify your taste.

I am 31 years old, and like SONY, but not because of this "is she hot?" nonsense you talked about. It is because I like their games, PS3 has amazing games that are NOT SEXYSTS in no way shape of form, like Valkyria Chronicles, Siren, Journey, Walking Dead, Red Dead Rendemption and hundreds of others.

Your genre or sexual issues have no correlation with gaming and you should not try to impose them as reasons for liking or disliking any of the big three.

That said, I respect your option and am sure that Nintendo will entertaing you well enough.
