Call me crazy, but is it just me or there seems to be a lot of anti-sony hate goig on?

They call it constructive criticsm, or hide behind the whole if you don't agree then you are a troll and bla bla bla, but I think I have noticed a couple of things.

  1. Look up any and every PS4 exclusive game that has been announced and released. Before the 5th-10th posts on most gaming forums it deteriotes into sony bashing or how the game sucks, is generic, looks boring, looks short(?), is a new IP so it wouldn't sell well, is just like *insert game name here* cause its in the same genre. Every single PS exclusive.

  2. Then lets talk about features, sony announced share play and PSnow(which is still in beta). These are two features that at least if got right could be a game changer. But the amount of negative coments about them, especially being that almost every single person making such comments have never used the service, and most of them probably don't even own a PS4 is shocking. Can't help but wonder what would happen if this were a service coming to xbox or nintendo.

  3. Then look at hardware, a much bigger deal is made about the PS4 wobbling when placed horizontally and how the touchpad is a useless addition than about how the XB1 is weaker, kinect needed to be taken out and is pretty much inessential to core gaming, or how even nintendo first party doesn't seem to know what to do with the wiiU screen. Look at the comments regarding morpheus ad then look at the comments regarding occulus rift. 

 

I am not saying that sony should get a free pass for every and anything, but I just think that everything sony seems to be met with more negativity than positivity. Is it that thre are just more non sony gamers on forums? Or the vocal minority that hate sony just seem to be doing a really really really good job of it?

I mean I am not a nintendo fan (anymore) or an xbox fan, but I have never been in a thread bashing a nintendo/xbox game. Any single one of them and thats not cause i Think they are all great, same applies to xbox games; I just know that not having or never playing those games puts me in the least position to have anything constructive to say about them). I do bash the xbox hardware, but not even in a sesne that its weak and should just die, but rather the policies at MS that made them go with hardware like that to begin with and I bash nintendo for how stubborn they have continually always been. But never the platforms directly or their games or features. But it seems some people make it there job hating on everything sony, almost as if it raped their kid sister, killed her and raped her again with a DS4.


That's a perfect example of subjective perception! Others get at least the same, if not even more hate, especially if you consider the fanbase partitioning here (or every other gaming forum I know of).
