I think it's just that the Sony fans can be very annoying. That's the only reason why I have any animosity towards Sony. Everything Playstation related is given God-like status from their fans and it gets annoying. I like my PS3 and don't hate Sony but their fans just get to me. They could release a turd and the fans will come and praise it for having such a strong smell and claim it's AAA before a trailer comes out.

I think it stems from the fans being used to being the #1 console by a large margin then suddenly dropping to dead last. They now have to hype every little thing to make it seem like it's doing better than it is.

I know other fans can be annoying but there's just something annoying by the way some Sony fans whine.

PS: I also realize that not all Sony fans are annoying so you don't have to tell me and am not trying to lump them all together.


Well i don't know about that, they all seem the same to me.



I trust no one, not even myself.

Are you telling me that Ninty and MS fans don't do the same thing?

I don't think it's as wide spread.  It could be that I just notice Sony fans doing it more but from my perception, Sony fans are the worst.  I'm not going to claim I have no bias towards the 360 though.

Then your comment is not valid



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

i have been a Sony fan since i was 6 (im 21) and i have to say the best concole sony have ever made is the PS3, my least favorate is PS2. i would rather sony wern't number 1 and work as hard as they have this gen to give all of us the best 1st party games ever.

But they have to play to win if they want to stay in the game. They've simply made too many poor business decisions post PS3, even if many of those were out of hubris coming off the overwhelming success of the PS2. 

PS3 customers may have "won" with all the titles and new IPs released this iteration, but none of that really equated to the level of success one might expect relative to the effort they put in when it came to producing great product and not great marketing. 



I only hate people who hate the people who hates Sony.


People should always have the right to hate.

i couldnt agree more, Sony need again to be number 1 if they want to keep going, but this time around the customers one. 

ha we all know how piss poor Sonys marketing is

It's staggering the amount of hate Vita is getting not only from consumers but from the journo types. It just seems Sony can do no right.

I don't see it as hate. I think the handheld market has changed and the numbers from Japan are showing that. The original Gameboy was a monochrome portable NES. The Gameboy Advance was a portable SNES. But the DS was not a portable Gamecube and the 3DS is going to look extremely dated compared to its contemporary console counterpart the Wii U. My point is people aren't really looking for a portable console anymore. I don't really want to play console level games in the ten minutes I have waiting in line at the post office. I just want a short fun distraction. I'll play the big games when I get home on my big TV with a comfortable controller in my hand. That's doesn't mean I hate the Vita, I just don't have room in my life for it. I barely have room in my life for a 3DS, which I don't own because I know they'll put one out with a build in second circle pad. I can't even say I'm sure I'll buy one when that happens.  Look, Sony created a sexy piece of tech, but I think fans of Uncharted would have rather Golden Abyss be a PS3 game. If it's good enough to be a PS3 game, why isn't it a PS3 game? If the public isn't looking for a pocket size console they'll stick with Angry Birds and Infinity Blade. That's not hate, it's just how things look to be going.

With that said I don't expect the Vita to fail. But I also don't expect it to sell more than the 3DS or the original PSP. The portable gaming market has opening up and there is a lot more competition out there now. I myself stopped carrying my DS around and instead listen to podcasts or kill time with free stuff on the Android marketplace. All I'm saying is Sony and even Nintendo are going to have to compete with free games and games that cost a buck or two. Even when those games are as brilliant as Mario 3D Land or Golden Abyss.



I don't think Sony gets anymore hate than any other platform; just Sony fans, like the author of the article, really love to play up being the innocent victim. Essentially, they'll spend days heaving mud, but when some gets thrown back, they start to cry - much like the kid who wrote this article.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

This negativity is slowly killing the PS brand... At least in America anyway. Sony has to get their cards straight and start deciding on their objectives. They can't just release a product that is missing features a good amount of people find convenient. Seriously why strip a product... Oh wait, last I checked, Sony has had huge losses last year and doesn't look any better in the near future.



Considering people "hate" on Sony so much, there doing better than certain other consoles in weekley sales at the moment, imagine where Sony would be if people liked them!!
