That's not good for Sony. A lot of PS2 owners (such as I) like to visit this site since the Top 10 FAQ pages are usually dominated by PS2 titles.

 I want to say Ubisoft too, since the quality if their games for the PSP and especially the Wii show their slopiness.


I am not sure about that one. I often visit this site too, and especially those polls gave me the feeling that the side is mostly pro-nintendo. but probably dallas is right if he states that this result is mostly due to the momentumthat  nintendo has created.


I didn't say that it was pro anything. I mentioned that a lot of PS2 owners are going to this site. Which is bad for Sony since they are voting that they hate Sony.

M$ does not give you the choice to play online games for free like every non-MMO PC and console game. M$ does not give you a hard drive as a standard for their console enabling developers to take advantage and lower load times and make extra content available. They also do not give you the choice to install a hard drive other than the way overpriced ones such as the $180 120GB hard drive (worth $50 retail). Also, apparently it was the consumer choosing against the 20GB PS3 that caused Sony to phase them out. I think it's a bad move on their part because the packages were more comparable.

People keep saying, mainly M$, that they give their customers choices, but they don't yet have a blu-ray add-on drive, do they? Wouldn't a consumer want the choice to have the leading HD drive? Both have choices but that doesn't mean the choices are good.

Also, I believe you'd have to buy a memory card to save games for the Core version, so add some more money on for that. I think M$ has a very clever strategy because they can offer inferior packages and then pack on add-ons that people will most likely choose later. The best thing on the 360 is Live I keep hearing. Well, to take advantage of online games you have to pay. Buyers are short-sighted, I just wish people on this site weren't.

Also, the 20GB PS3 might still be more available than the Wii, and the 20GB version was readily available for months.

 


The best argument I've ever read in the system wars forums.

If MS was really about choice, they would provide a choice between blu-ray or hd-dvd external drive.

 


Kind of true, but why would Microsoft have an add on for a sony product?  That's rediculous.  What does blu-ray have to do with gaming anyway (as an add-on)?  We're talking about playing games, not watching movies.

"I didn't say that it was pro anything. I mentioned that a lot of PS2 owners are going to this site. Which is bad for Sony since they are voting that they hate Sony."

 Means nothing.... I know quite a few people who trashed the PS2 on launch and eventually turned around and bought one. Just because people owned a PS2, doesn't mean they like sony or even want the PS3 to succeed... they just didn't want to miss some good games.

 

I am just having fun reading this thread..... *sigh* the illusion of choice.......

Geez...everyone wants to put words into my mouth...or onto my keyboard.

I never said that these people like Sony or hate them. All I said is that there are a lot of PS2 owners that go to this site. The Top 3 FAQ Pages are:

1 Final Fantasy XII - PS2
2 God of War II - PS2
3 Kingdom Hearts II: FM+ - PS2

All Sony exclusive titles. So based on this I assume there are many PS2 owners that view this site. It's very bad for Sony that these same people are voting that they hate Sony. That is all.

You said that some people who bought a PS2 "just didn't want to miss some good games." Those games up there are Sony exclusives. Now many of these people will miss the good games on PS3 because of the price. Does anyone understand the words that are coming out of my mouth...er...keyboard?

Well I would have voted for EA (yes despite Godfather-Wii) so I guess I'm not too far out of the mainstream.  My only problem is I think you either have to poll only the hardware makers or specify the vote is only on their software development.  I understand that Sony has caused a good deal of anger with its hardware division but I don't think their software side is much to be angry at.  I don't care for the kinds of games they mostly make but that doesn't mean I hate them. 

All three companies have reason to be hated over their hardware.  The Wii of course is lacking in the horsepower department while the 360 has over priced add-ons and high failure rates.  Why Sony managed to attract all the hate is an interesting lesson for future business students I think.  People will put up with lies, shoddy products, and delays.  What they won't put up with is an exhorbitant price even if it is theoretically justified.  Sony's problem is that they gave gamers a lot of reasons to hate them but no reason to actually do it (in other words they doused lots of gasoline around just never provided a match, until recently).  Remember the PS2 would push 75 million polygons and have "Toy Story" graphics, the PSP was supposed to do 30 million polygons, when they in fact do 6 million and 3 million respectively. 

The PS3 was supposed to have an 8core 3.5GHz CPU, 550/700 MHz GPU, more USB/HDMI/DVI/ETC. ports that you could shake your fist at, and be less than $500.  The performance reductions to an effective 6 core 3.2GHz CPU, 500/650 MHz GPU, and reduction in the number of USB and HDMI ports would have been forgiven like they were with the PS1/2/P if the system was $400-450.  However $600, even if its a good deal, is not cheap by any stretch.  Suddenly Sony threw a match to gamers who started remembering what Sony had promised versus what they delivered, remembered the awesome graphics displayed at E3 05 and the not as awesome graphics on display now, remembered that Sony repeatedly said the system would not be unduly expensive (I recall reading on IGN a few days before E3 06 the Europe Sony head said the PS3 would be $600, the next day Sony said he meant $600 was a great price but it wasn't going to be more than $500, followed a few days later with the E3 announcement of $600).  $600 is a major problem for the PS3, and is ridiculously high as the stunned Sony fanboy silence at the E3 06 announcement showed.



i dont know why all the hate for EA. i actually really like them... is that wierd?



A delayed game is good someday, a bad game is bad forever.

 EA no pay thier programers, they have draconian copy protectiom schema, and I hate the logo that is so load when I load disc in machine. EA was good back in 80's, now they too big.

No...you are entitled to your own opinion. However, if you like the movie Cat Woman....then that's weird.

EA games good games too, people should just no buy the bad ones.  If you don't buy them, they won't make them. 

I always hated midway the most back in the day, their games always had the worst AI.  Anyone remember off road challenge or hydro thunder?  I remember on the arcade of off road i maxed out my car, and bought as many nitros as you could get.  The problem is that if you are doing well the computer car always does better.  At the end of the first race with my maxed out car i kept hitting the nitro button over and over (about 10 times), but the computer car was still faster than mine.
