You guys can call me crazy as well xD but i know for sure that some people really really hate Sony brand in general, idk why and i don't care to be honest but there is this hate that i cant understand the reason for it, just take a look at comments made about Sony phones, even the Z2 the perfect and one of the best(if not THE best) phones to date gets a lot of hate in compare to some lower Samsung and LG phones.

IDK what website you go on, but in most tech websites people adore the Z2, much more than Samsung even. On more mainstream sites like Yahoo, the S5 gets a lot more attention, but it's not like the Z2 gets any hate. It's pretty much unanimously agreed that it's a good phone. It's not as popular as the S5 or the iPhone because it hasn't sold nearly as much. It still hasn't even been released to carriers in the USA.

LG gets so much love because they have the best phone out on the market, period. What other manufacturer offers dat 2560x1600 screen?

Omg i just got a Z2 (3days ago now) and its a perfect phone. Amazing.

Everyone right now:

"polls are unreliable except the ones that prove my point."


yep. But one of the arguements is actually making sense. This site clearly has very few xbox fans, i would say dominated by nintendo/ps4 fans but the most vocal are the hardcore ps4 fans.

You should see Xbox threads. Oh wait, you can't because it gotten so bad in them that the Xbox fans keep it to themselves now and barely post about Xbox besides in their nation.

The only people posting Xbox news now are PS fans to ridicule it.


Thank you.

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.



@bolded. Couldn't disagree more. That's not a viable option for any company. They can't start moneyhatting Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Tekken, Kingdom Hearts, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Assassins' Creed, COD, Battlefield, Dark Souls, etc. I mean when does it stop? They are way too many important third party titles to fund.

but sony used to, some of those games were at one point synonymous with the playstation brand. remember the shit storm when final fantasy came to xbox?

The fans of Sony is what makes me dislike them.

and there's the other one.  Other fans hate on other systems just as much


Well I visit here, GAF, and a other forums and there seems to be a common theme between most of Sony's online fans.

Honestly, I'm not as well informed as some others. But is there any evidence that Sony was moneyhatting during the ps2 era? (apart from GTA) And especially that many titles? Because if I were a developer and were to look at the hardware numbers, developing for the ps2 would make sense in most cases.

Well, I only heard about the reaction to FF coming to xb360. Never read the comments, but I can imagine how bad it got. However, porting it to xb360 would make sense since ps3 had the lowest userbase, right? If I were SE, I wouldn't need any money from MS to be convinced to go multiplat.

yea their is, when xbox first started up sony actively tried to stop games going to xbox and threw alot of weight around (i honestly didnt care at the time as i had no internet and owned two ps2's at the time). I remember when the original xbox came out someone from microsoft said refering to if sony was stopping them: we couldnt get all that we wanted but we got most of it. 

But it was probably fair as xbox was definitely created to take a shot at sony. I think a VP admits this, it was created to stop sonys rampage, didnt do them any good though xD.

This thread's poll (currently at about 54/34/12 Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft) gives a pretty fair approximation of this site's userbase as I see it.

In terms of behaviour I see as a mod, all three probably have fanyboys/girls that actively troll/hate/require moderation proportionate to their userbase. In that respect, I feel like this thread largely has it the wrong way around.

For an 8 month block the best Sony could produced was a GOTYE for their brand new console. That is a legitimate complaint for some people, and yes some people don't enjoy the  Last of Us and think it's overated, also a legitimate complaint. You don 't have to be a hater to have these complaints. Hell im playing through it right now and it still hasn't grabbed me yet.

Microsoft isn't doing much better and a Halo collection is their big thing for the holidays, which can and will be used as a legitimate complaint also. some people (like me) don't find Halo to be the greatest games ever, I can share this opinion without being labelled a hater I would hope.

You're just a hater on both accounts if Titanfall, Infamous, Killzone, Resogun, Forza 5 or Horizon, Driveclub, LBP3, MCC, and of course the REAL versions of all the recent 3rd party games PLUS all the free games so far for the next gen consoles and the indies.  Seriously none of that interests you?

My interests are irrelevant, I was just pointing out that people can voice legitimate concerns without being haters. And in doing so got called a Hater...
