IMO, the biggest pro with sony is their constant introduction of new IPs. I can always buy a ps console and expect to be wowed by multiple new great IPs. Nintendo has milked the same stuff for how many years now? Sometimes it seems like they purposely sell gimped stuff to sell improved versions later. I got bored of Mario after SNES and never could get into the Zelda series. Only gem from them is fire emblem IMO and I'll actually consider a wii U purchase if they release one for it [I did get Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn]. Alas, they seem to focus more on their handhelds as of late so hopefully things will improve in the future.

It seems like the cool thing these days is to hate on graphics. IMO, they serve their purpose and add to the immersion. Console power is also useful for much more than graphics for the umpteenth time. Just seeing the extra options PC gamers usually get relative to consoles is proof of this.

These days, I'm kinda checking out PC gaming and mods can really revitalize a game I tell ya. I just can't get used to the mouse + keyboard. Maybe in time...

The responses are much more entertaining than the OP in this thread.

Those games that I never played are rubbish. Metroid Prime games are horrible shooters.

Rol would own a Playstation console over his own dead body.

Nice trap dude.

I have often thought that Rol has a smouldering sexiness, but I doubt he resembles his avatar.

In many ways, I am the opposite.

I was a huge Nintendo fan during the NES years, transitioned into PC Engine, and when the SNES released, I fell in love with Nintendo all over again.

When the PS1 hit, I was onboard and loving it, thanks in part to already being biased by formats, rather than content alone (CD-ROM was all the rage then, even with its laughable load times).

When the N64 finally released a day late and a buck short, I bought one anyway, and... ended up buying something like less than 10 games for it over the entire product lifecycle. I played the hell out of Ocarina of Time, and Shadows of the Empire was awesome, even if for no other reasons than the Hoth level and filling in more back story for Star Wars. And then there were a bunch of other Star Wars games, but no Metroid. And then I remember playing a few dogs on the system before it stopped seeing use.

After the Saturn Vs. PS1 chapter, I skipped the Dreamcast completely, having minimal interest in games at the time (I was living my adventures as an enlisted soldier instead), but bought a PS2 anyway and it became my default source for gaming.

Near the end of my time in the Army, I started playing games again thanks in part to boredom with work and my tuner car being back in the shop for engine rebuilds and upgrades, and that was about when the PS3 debuted and suddenly I found myself sucked back into gaming full force. I picked up a Wii and Xbox 360 within a 6 month span, had fun with both, then eventually realized all my favorite games on the Xbox were better on PC and post Wii Fit, became pretty disillusioned with the Wii when I broke down how motion controls worked (or didn't) and found myself not playing the solid games released on the platform that didn't rely upon weak motion control gimmicks that I bought, and found myself playing more games on Steam or the PS3 instead since there are only so many hours one can devote to playing games in a given week.

Over the 7th console gen, the PS3 delivered more entertainment value than any other system I've owned in over 30 years of gaming, even when I was just using it as a media center for video on HDD, BD, etc.

I'll buy a PS4 for the same IPs I played on the PS3 alone. Don't need any other reason. The Xbox 3 remains up in the air and the Wii U, will only find itself on my entertainment console after or if it has at least 3 games I can't play anywhere else that I really want to play. An awesome Zelda game would be great since I never bothered to finish the last two Zeldas. And an awesome Metroid would be great as well since I never bothered to finish Metroid 3 and was pretty upset after buying and playing Other M.

...16.

There were 16 colssi.

Again, need I say more?

Oh, and the envioroments is part of the design, the design which is part of the games esthetics. You have dug yourself into a really deep hole.

Lol. Next thread.

So you basically sayin' Playstation games are hot girls with no personality...so Nintendo's games are old lovely grannies that still treat you like a boy even though you're already a grown up then?

I rather stick with the hot girls then, they're at least fun to play with...

Whaa.....what?

What the heck does this have to do with the type of games Sony produces? If anything Sony produces overly violent exclusives, where Nintendo can make a good game without mass murder.

Still, is a game like LittleBigPlanet Violent or Sexy?

Is Gran Turismo violent or sexy?

Is there is over-emphasis on sex appeal in InFamous or Uncharted? (I know the girls in Uncharted are hot, but they are not unrealistic, and Nathan Drake is also pretty ideal too, so you can't condone Naughty Dog for making a sexist game).

However you are right, Sony does develop games in large for young adult males. My girlfriend would never play any PS3 exclusives except for LBP, but she loves XenoBlade, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Mario Kart for the Wii.

This is why for 7th gen consoles, Wii has 80% of the female gamers, and the PS3 only has 11%.
