  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.

Don't forget grey. If it's not colourful, it's a boring grey game. If there are cutscenes, it's an interactive movie. If it has realistic graphics, the gameplay is not good. AmIright?

Anyway, I have to sort of agree with others who say that all consoles get a lot of hate. However, Sony fans do get the most hate. I've lost count of how many times I've seen people call Sony fans out as if they are worse than the other fanbases. 

In terms of whether each company deserves the hate or criticism they get from gamers is a different story. The ps4 has done so far everything right. Excellent price, good hardware and some good first party games. With wii, the hardware wasn't good enough and games looked terrible (imho) compared to ps360. The initial criticism of xb360 was also justfied, as the rrod was a huge deal and too many people were affected. As for the ps3, the criticism was again justified, as that price was quite high and the performance of the console compared to xb360 did not justiy the price. With the ps4 sony hasn't done anything wrong and all I see is people focusing on lack of first party AAA games, which is not valid criticism, considering the past generations. In other words, I don't think it deserves the hate it gets.

The fact that it's easily beating wiiu and xb1 has little to do with the hate it gets. PSvita got the most hate I've see for a console and we all know it never did well. XB1 gets a lot of hate for the initial policies (more than ps4) and it's not beating anything at the moment. The wiiu got just as much hate in its first year, but at this point I think most people are indifferent to it.
