Some people hate Sony because they came in and wrecked two incumbents with their debut console. Then, kind of just roosted there ever since. It didn't have to be this way, it's just that Sony's rivals had been making some of the grimmest errors of their existence that allowed them to muscle their way in. So, instead of everyone settling in and just playing video games, fans of the other consoles continued the fight. This has been happening in some form since 1995. I remember when people said they wanted to become professional game reviewers to bag on Sony games back in the day. Ahhh, the memories.

Nintendo and Xbox fans may not be the best of friends, but there is an "anybody but Sony" alliance that's underlying between the two camps. It's funny, but the rivalries will always be there, like college football on a wide scale.

 

My very existence proves you wrong. Sony and Nintendo both offer awesome Japanese experiences that don't exist on Xbox. I owned the OG Xbox and the 360 and enjoyed them both, but Gears and Halo just don't interest me anymore. Plus Xbox has no exclusive games anymore. Sad really.

   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

You like games though. And went to another platform that offered what you liked, instead of sulking and hoping that a console made by your favorite company would finally get to wrestle the market back to play the games you want. A lot of the diehards will bear that cross and will never give "the enemy" the time of day.

I was a diehard Sega fanboy, but I wasn't angry at Sony for them pulling out of the market, I just bought a PS2 (and eventually an Xbox and Gamecube), and enjoyed games. A good number of people I know went from Sega to Xbox to spite Sony. I didn't think it was that deep.

True. The best thing for people who love games is, to have three healthy hardware manufacturers supporting their systems. That offers more options for everybody and options are never a bad thing. Some people don't realize that.

You are so out of touch with reality is almost cute. Of course you haven't owned a Nintendo console since Nes, that explains why you are so painfully clueless about the company, most of your coments about it oozes the ignorance of someone that hasn't played Nintendo in 20 years, yet Nintendo threads used to be your favourite for some reason...

I loved Wii and WiiU so I have pretty much no problem with their existence, the main reason to get a Ps4 all this years has been third party games, those that PC plays better. But sure PC only gamers don't get the very best first party games, that's why they buy Nintendo consoles for

And who is gonna be the director of that movie you just wrote?

Maybe it has more to do with the brutal arrongance of some fans instead of any of that, the reason why Xbox fans and Nintendo fans don't have a lot of conflict, is not because there is a stupid alliance, is simply because there is no one side being utterly arrogant and condescendeting with the other and no people constanting suggesting that what you like is bad, you know? What about all 3 sides trying that for a while? You'll see how all the conflicts suddlenly start to calm down.

Do you think you are not being condescending in the quoted posts here? 

Fire against fire

Of course. I was hoping we would all be able to sit down and sing a merry song and talk about games. :P
