Welcome all
I've decided to do an opinion piece on the Playstation platform. Why? Well, as a Nintendo fan for the most part since the N64 days, I never fully understood the appeal for Playstation. I didn't grow up exposed to it beyond the occasional session at a friends house, nor did I pay any attention to gaming media until 2007. Even then, after becoming fully aware of the PS3, I didn't give it much of a chance.
Jump forward to today and I have owned a PS4 for roughly three years. It's safe to say, my opinion of the platform has changed significantly. Not so much due to the games I've been playing but moreso because of what I haven't. To state the obvious, games are quite subjective and tastes vary greatly. What I enjoy, somebody else might hate with a burning passion and vise versa. However, that's the entire point.
Sony has created an ecosystem that fits the needs of both developer and consumer. It's a strategy that benefits Sony for sure, we can't forget it's a business with the sole aim of making money. With that said, that doesn't mean we can't respect it. As I get older and notice things about life and how it operates, I begin to look at everything with a fresh perspective. My current thinking has me gravitating towards anything that assists others in doing what they are passionate about. This, in my opinion, is the type of environment Sony has created with Playstation. For that alone, Playstation deserves the success it has gotten.
