There really is no point of me posting in this thread and continuing to argue as I'm seeing very little room for debate with the community. Its clear that my point of view is a huge minority around here and that's fine. Ima go play some Last of Us and everyone can rest knowing that Sony still as the golden ticket to gaming happiness.

Cheers to ethomaz, badgenome and others who posted reasonable posts and presented a different point of view coherently and didn't resort to personal insults.


I really think you started an argument without having full knowledge of the topic. This was especially true when you brought the "slow loading discs and slow download of games and slow instalation" in the PS3 as is they were gonna be true for the PS4. I think the problem is not that you are a minority, it is that your arguments weren't strong enough.

That said, I think that personal insults, name calling, images trying to ridicule were wrong.

The slow loading and install times were an example of something PS3 dropped the ball on. I knew that PS4 would not function in this manner but I was just pointing out a few things that fell through the cracks last time around.  When you dont have a vision where the console will be 5 years down the road you tend to have issues like that as you cant patch everything in as you go.

Anyone that thinks PS3 today would be where its at in terms of features without Xbox and Xbox 360 around to tell it what features to add next needs a reality check. I remember my PS3 in 2007...Back then Mortal Kombat 2 on PSN did not have friends online matchmaking option at all. Still doesnt probably... This "we will offer little bit of everything" approach for Sony always sounds like a dream on paper but tends to have more holes than swiss cheese in reality.

What no one around here is talking about is Sony DRM for digital dowloads. According to their latest executive statements their position is..."We're not talking about any sort of digital trading or loaning policies right now." - Scott Rohde, senior Sony Playstation VP

While I personally dont care as I dont see myself trading, or reselling used games next gen... to me this is a significantly worse digital policy implementation than Xbox One. Tying digital dowloads to the actual hardware is very 1999 if you ask me...God forbid you install the game twice on different consoles and both die, not letting you deactivate. Or you visit a friend and want to play a game he doesnt have and youve bought and installed digitally but have already done it twice.

If there was only some way using internet to allow you to check in with Sony and play this game with your user ID while at your friends place regardless of how many times youve installed the game already...I guess that technology will come next gen.
