It's not fair because for years the PS brand had multimedia capabilities that the Nintendo brand didn't have, yet the PS community was all over it. Sometimes it makes me very sad to see that community as the most vocal because oftentimes it is painfully biased. Did Sony ever spend literally half of a PS event talking about the CD player in the PS1? Or the DVD player in the PS2? PS3 and it's "it only does everything" campaign was pretty big, but did it ever delay Sony showing a bunch of games because they had some alternative ways to watch tv on the PS3? Microsoft made it seem as if X1 is more like Apple TV than a gaming console, contrasted with Sony making PS4 seem like it was built specifically for core gamers. The difference is "It plays games, and also tv and stuff" and "It plays tv and stuff, and also games". This is completely fair to criticise from the gamer's perspective. Can people go overboard? Absolutely. Are there illegetimate criticism's also? Sure. 2. I think that if we're going to ask certain users to relax, yes I certainly think it means that that should be across the board. If a thread is put in place to basically allow free game for xbox bashing, if a pro-xbox user has something mildly controversial to say about the PS I think it's fair to give him right of way. I don't see it that way. Maybe I'm not looking at the bigger picture like you are, and maybe being in the bigger camp makes me less empathetic; I just see someone make a silly post and so I respond to it. |
