Good:
Ridiculous number of RPGs
Free online
Good first party games, greatest third party support
Amazing platforms for small-medium size developers
All their consoles lately are REGION FREE
Games that can be bought on one account and played on multiple systems

Bad:
The new PS Store
Marketing
Backwards compatibility

I've never cared about Sony exclusives. Xbox and ninty exclusives I like. I wasn't a ps1 fan or a ps2 fan. I like the ps3 but not for any reason I cant also say about Xbox. The wii u does everything better anyway.

I don't play online, I don't play bluray, I don't want move, but it's a sleek system. I want to love sony, I just need a reason like shadow of colossus 2 or some good remote play support.

 

 

Love

Sexy interface

 

Hate

download/install update every time I play

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'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.


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.

This isn't a discussion, it's my own opinion. Not that many PS3 games feel big budget, not like Halo or Forza do. I'd rather have Sony cut out games like LittleBigPlanet and Sly Cooper, to put in more money into games like InFamous (Which is awesome). Maybe even spend more on marketing.

Anyway, what about your reasons?

Then tell me good sir, what large quantity of big bidget IP's does Microsoft have? I see you haven't included "Lack of big budget IP's" in your dislikes for Microsoft. Care to explain?

Edit - I see you believe Halo and Forza are big budget IP's? Then Sony has Uncharted, God of War, Killzone and Gran Turismo. They are big budget IP's whether you like them or not does not change this fact.

Uncharted? God of War? Killzone? Gran Turismo? Do these games not feel big budget? Not asking if you enjoy these games, but do they feel big budget?

there is no opinion in this its simple FACT. sony has big budget IP's

like

awesome first party

great products

innovative games

pushing boundries with their games

different experiences

they treat there customers right

reliable hardware

dislike

online passes on games

 

Edit : and FYI sony's games have pushed the boundies when it came to technology this gen, no exclusive comes close to the technology of that in GoW and Uncharted. that wouldnt happen if they werent "big budget"

Why I like about Sony? That list would be too long. So next ....



What about them I dislike?

- Memory cards for Vita (price)
- Lack of marketing for great games
- The company can often be too reactive at times as opposed to initiating the right action. A lot of the times they have the wherewithal to act, but just .... don't. :p
- Move (I personally hate anything that's not a regular controller)

I'm at the point where I have to think up 'dislikes' so I'll stop here. :)

Well ... GOW3 was $44 million. I'm inclined to think Sony's other flagship games are big budget games too. What exactly is a 'big budget ' to you then?

"Consider that Gran Turismo 5's budget, at last count, had reportedly ballooned to around the $60 million mark." That compares to around $15 million for Bioshock - a multiplat game.

I don't know the budget deatils of each game, but I feel if you count the number of individual games, there aren't too many big budget PS3 games. PS3 has GT5, 2x God of Wars, 2x Uncharted (I don't think the first one had a big budget), and Killzone 2. That's 6 Games. 360 has 3 Gears games, 3 Halo's (3,4, Reach), and 3 Forza's. 9 Games.

Anyway, this is an opinion thread, I never looked up the statistics, but PS3 to me never felt like a system with that many Blockbuster hits. For you though, I'll Change it from Big Budget to Big Budget Blockbuster since Killzone didn't really sell that well, and I don't picture the new GoW doing the same either.

Sorry but you said IP's. Halo, Gears and Forza. That's 3. Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Killzone, God of War. That's 4.
