No fanboyism, no flaiming. I'm making 3 threads for all 3 home consoles.

Basically I want you to list your reasons for likeing and disliking Sony, and be specific towards gaming. I am going to tally the responses, and see what the biggest successes/issues Sony has. Try to be general, so I can combine your comment with others more easily.

lack of big budget IP's? you do realize that the last of us, god of war and beyond two souls are all coming out these year? and you do realize that GoW 3 cost them 48 million to make? killzone2 cost them 45 million?

I Love Sony because of the games, free online, blu ray, all around solid console

I hate Sony because of... can't really think of anything...

like I said in the "nintendo fans: why do you hate sony?" thread, I don't hate sony, I just prefer nintendo

These are my votes, please add your own to update the tally in the OP.

Lol you're hate list for Sony is very humorous. Anyways,

Like:
1) They push out new IP's even though it's so late into this generation
2) They have the greatest first party studios (Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games, Media Molecule, Polyphony etc)
3) PS Plus is the greatest subscription program I have ever been a part of
4) Free online
5) Quality of their big budget IP's is always outstanding and has never let me down.
6) The Last of Us

Dislike:
1) PS3 isn't a very "social" system (i.e no party chat)
2) Dat PS Store takes too long to load.

I love them for having my favorite exclusives, free online, PS+, supporting artsy and strange games (LBP, Puppeteer, SotC, Sly, and Rain come to mind), and selling stuff to me at a cost I can afford (like the $200 loss they took on PS3 so I could have a blu-ray player).

I'm comparing this to something like Halo or Gran Turismio. GoW isn't my style of game, and Killzone 3 wasn't that big budget.

Like:
Uncharted
Free Online
PS+
Vita is a console from God
Great first party
Controller's are symmetrical
Recent PR
Haz
Strongest systems

Dislike
Stupid marketing until recently
Not the "cool" company
Didn't get 3rd party support for Vita

how do you know KZ wasnt that big budget? since its one of the best looking console games of all time. 

and your point was that they have no big budget games, but i proved that they do
