If you work for a company and your old boss screws up the business for you, so he gets the sack and you get a new boss to replace him, does that mean the new boss has to suffer the same imagin even though it wasnt his doing? Of course not. Sony stuffed up with the PS3 but isnt it funny how many gamers forget about it.. and to be honest the PS3 stuff up was heaps worse then the XB1 and thats becuase the XB1 still mamnage to be cheaper then there previous console and they never told you to get 2 jobs to afford it, while the XB1 had many reasons for its DRM and internet connections which most gamers today dont understand. Iv been gaming for more then 20+ years and now i game on Steam as my main. Basically the difference is MS policies had to do with gaming while Sonys policies didnt. Those gamers like yourself who beleave that corps dont deserve forgiveness while prasing another corp are the ones who have no idea about the industry. Sony hid behind a rock while MS had stones throw at them. Sony had the same ideas and vision, they wanted DRM (paywalls etc), a Kinect (PS Camera) , a Cloud (Gaikai) TV (PS TV) Online connections (PS NOW). So while you grow a hatred for MS because you think they did the wrong thing well think again, its the innocent ones that you need to watch out for. At the end of the day i dont buy consoles because i love a corparation, i buy consoles for the love of the games, if its Mario or God of War or Halo. A console doesnt make the games bad. Atleast MS are listening to there customers, do you think Apple would do the same with there phones? No. |
Sony's PS3 issues was price and only price. The rest of the console was great. Good games, free online, blu-ray. Price killed it and they messed up by their marketing and PR. It took them a long time to recover and no one said 'Wow Sony, you are so great for lowering the cost of your console, removing parts from it and making it cheaper for us consumers', they said "About time, idiots."
This is what we should be saying to MS, not well done for listening. We should be ridiculing them for even thinking it even if they have made strides to change their ways. The man in charge doesn't matter as these descisions are made by group concensus.
On bolded: release price for PS3 in the UK was £425, release price for Xbone in the UK was £430. More expensive.
Then this "Sony had the same ideas and vision, they wanted DRM (paywalls etc), a Kinect (PS Camera) , a Cloud (Gaikai) TV (PS TV) Online connections (PS NOW)."
Where is it stated that Sony wanted an always online (online check) DRM solution? PS Camera is an optional extra. Gaikai is being used as PS Now, no one criticised MS over their Cloud existance. PS TV isn't a TV box, it's a small game console, essentially as PSVita that attaches to your TV. And if you really can't see the difference between online checks (DRM controls) and PS Now needing a online connection to work (it's streaming games), then you are lost.
Hmm, pie.
