Oh my god that last paragraph is hilarious. I want you to name ONE THING innovative that Sony didn't copy from Nintendo or MS's hardware the last 7 years.


Being the console that delivers the cutting edge in interactive expriences and almost cinematic level gaming.

 

 Nintendo has always stressed kiddie Family faire and Microsoft tried to be about hardcore PC type gaming on a console for their first six years, but then decided they just wanted to be about watching ESPN on your console, releasing half-butted attempts to reclaim the few past glories they had ie. a new Halo every year yawn , and trying to follow Nintendo down the motion control fad highway.


Fixed your inaccurate comment.  Sony makes movies instead of games.  Rather just use netflix

 

Sony doesn't make movies.  Movies last about 2 and a half hours tops and are over with before you truely have time to really get invested in the characters and stories.  Quite a different thing from interactive storytelling where you have a good 20 to 40 hours or more to become invested in the characters and storylines and the worlds they inhabit plus aside from that the best Sony shooters irregardless of KSF's crappy review scores hold their own with the best shooters on any other console ( as I'm sure KSF does as well ), Sony's platformers invole you in more than 2-D and the Mushroom Kingdom with each outing, and Sony rules the action adventure genre.  When was the last time Microsoft had a decent action adventure game?

I have no idea what Sony game you've played thats 20 to 40 hours or more. Killzone is just another shooter, its just pretty. People will keep trying to say its going to "crush Halo" but it will never happen. KZSF didn't do anything to evolve the shooter genre. Knack is a horrible platformer that's just a beat em up too complicated for kids. Which will never put it on par with a Mario game. Sony rules the renter's genre, games that you'll play once and send it back.

Uncharted:  Drakes Fortune's single player adventure lasted a good 20 hours or more.  Gears was about 10 at most.

" Of more concern were gameplay issues, including overall gameplay length being rather short, with reviewers completing the game in anywhere from six to ten hours,"
