Really?  When has Sony done something like Amiibos?

Activision and Disney have done it already. Nothing new here.

I think you are missing it. even in how you use your point. Thing is, I completely agree with you that these things I am complaining about may seem petty in the grand scheme of things. And that is the excat point I am making. These petty thigs, as many as they are; are what people do that just have to hate or bitch about something. They aren't actually true or reasonable, but to the neutral they could also be misleading.

constructive criticism is ok, if you say "the aiming in TLoU is broken" or "the handling in driveclub feels too loose" then there is nothing wrong with that. Cause what you are saying can be quantified and is based on something you may have noticed. But if you said, "the PS4 has no games and its best game this year is a remaster of a last gen game which was overhyped to begin with" while you have not played the last gen game nor even own a PS4, thats the kinda mindless silly hate I am talking about. 

Which is why i say the go outta their way to do it, like since there really isn't anything to complain about, they fabricate stuff. Thats ok, but then you can't go through any PS thread and not see some of those kinda comments.

The Wii U was made for developers to do that.  When did Sony do something like that?  Lets not be delusional.

Again, not even close. That's another invalid comparison and an oversimplifcation of the situation with Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider is a franchise known by the vast majority of gamers. Whether you like it or not, if you are a gamer, you've heard of it. It has a history of around 17 years on playstation consoles. Just like Metal Gear and Tekken, the franchise is associated with the ps brand and found most of its success on ps platforms. Anyone who has bought a ps console would expect Tomb Raider to be released on his console. This is a huge franchise with many loyal fans. One of the best selling franchises of all time. People would buy a console for it the same way that they would buy one for Metal Gear (see ps3 sales and MGS4). As a fan you know what to expect. The franchise has proven itself over the years both in terms of sales and quality.

Then you have an indie game, which is also a completely new IP. A game that could turn out to be a disaster. A game that may sell horribly. It's a huge gamble because it can go either way. But the point is that it's not an establised franchise that xb fans would expect to come to their consoles. It has yet to prove if it can move consoles. Non hardcore gamers like us who spent their days on forums have not even heard of it.

If MS were to fund Hellblade, I'd have no problem. Sure, it would be from the team of Team Ninja that made a ps cult favourite, but it would still be a new IP. If Platinum games were developing Wonderful 101 and Ninty paid them for excusivity, I'd still have no problem. Again, new IP. That's not the case with Tomb Raider, though, now is it?

I just told you who did it first. Did you call me delusional?

What the heck are you talking about? Amiibos are a clear cut copy the Skylanders and Disney Infinity toys, simple as that. Your comment doesn't even make sense, the Wii U was made for developers to do what?

Rings a bell? Or is copying Activision a different story?

I have no problem with this practise. I loved Dante's Inferno despite it being a God of War rip-off. I enjoy games because I'm a gamer, not a sony gamer. Like I said, I like Amiibos and have no problem with Ninty copying a seemingly good idea.

New IP, old IP, doesn't matter, the definition of moneyhatting remains the same. And if you want an old IP that was moneyhatted by Sony, look no farther than GTA on PS2 (timed exclusive for III/VC/SA).

Point is, Sony paid to have a game come exclusively to their platform, and not to others. If they felt Tomb Raider was so important to PS gamers, they could have paid for the development, publishing, and advertising like MS did. The end. Moneyhatting is moneyhatting, and they've both done it, whether it be to get an entire game or some exclusive content.
