What? It shows an attitude which applies to a lot of people here. That's not your opinion? Fine. But it's mine. I don't say Sony doesn't get hate but almost *every* MS news gets hate. If it's bad "MS as usual" if it's good "Ha, don't believe them!". Btw, why do you bring Pezus into this? The account shall rest in peace.


So based on your and another poster's opinion the thread should close? That would only make sense in case there was a thread stating an opinion or fact and then a poster providing a source which contradicts that fact. As in:

(opinion)

-"Here's why I think x game will be released in October".

-"But here the developer says it won't come out till next year"

or (fact)

-"X game is cancelled on x console"

-"The developer says here that it's delayed until x month".

 

In the above cases the thread should close. But stating an opinion that is different than the OP's is no reason for a thread to be closed.

  1. Look up any and every PS4 exclusive game that has been announced and released. Before the 5th-10th posts on most gaming forums it deteriotes into sony bashing or how the game sucks, is generic, looks boring, looks short(?), is a new IP so it wouldn't sell well, is just like *insert game name here* cause its in the same genre. Every single PS exclusive.

 

The fact that it's easily beating wiiu and xb1 has little to do with the hate it gets. PSvita got the most hate I've see for a console and we all know it never did well. XB1 gets a lot of hate for the initial policies (more than ps4) and it's not beating anything at the moment. The wiiu got just as much hate in its first year, but at this point I think most people are indifferent to it.

i think it has alot to do with hate, if i were to buy a new console i would go and research a bit. And when you do you just see a whole ton of hate like from the  sites and comment sections, xbox articles tend to have whay more comments then ps4 articles and more ps4 fans in them. If i were to see that i wouldnt want to be part of a community where you are constantly hated on and people activley trying to make you feel bad about your purchase all the time (even on these forums). hate and negativity do affect the brand, thats all im saying.

I dont hate any console but i can see which fan base is more rabid than the others. Xbox fans especially has been shutdown and everything good that ever happens to them is met with intense hate, where like 4-5 threads are opened at once expressing hate all at once. (like the other day i saw a thread full of hate, especially in the OP where the hate was directed at xbox fans getting exclusive figurines or a freaking cloth map with their purchase of witcher 3, what the hell..). Xbox fans have basically no presence and even in neogaf only post in 2-3 threads (SONYGAF confirmed xD) and on this site they barely post outside of xbox nation because it is unsafe to post anywhere else.

I'm not sure I'm following. Are you saying, like others here on this thread, that the console that is the most successful gets hate because it's so successful? Because then you focus on xb1 and how much hate it gets. Are you saying, instead, that the most successful console has the most fans who do most of the hating? Because that would be a different point than the one I was arguing against.

People don't like Sony fans for whatever reason. Maybe we're too arrogant, but at least we're not delusional.

I'd say you'd have it right if you fixed up that second sentence.  There's nothing to be arrogant about right now when it comes to the games.  The only thing we can be arrogant about is how the PS4 is destroying the competition.

I see a lot more BoneU hate than PS4 hate.

l try to not be hateful, but I can't disguise my apathy.

The PS4 may not be as overpriced, oversized, and overproduced as the PS3, but I sure see it as oversold. It does nothing interesting in regards to interacting with games, and the online subscription is just a tool for driving devoted fans to be even more obsessed.
The more they pay, the more they will rationalize that they have invested wisely and are getting a good deal.

Aside from this, I just don't see any games coming.

I could get interested down the road, as I don't play online anyway and won't need to bother with PS+, but not until some of the really big titles have hit.

Well that last assertion is pretty arrogant, so you may be right.

It's not new, the most successful console always gets hate

Then how do you explain the PS3 era?


Lol the Wii was hated on more than any system in history I think. How it was a fad and a kids toy.

I agree it isn't a very diplomatic phrasing.

But consideing that I can muster no nthusiasm for it, yet for it to be selling as it is, I'm forced to assume people are buying it on a lot of lofty promises that it has yet to live up to.
