Unleash The Beast! 
End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil
Console adopters, especially early adopters, want their system to have good games. It's as simple as that.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Lol. Oh I know what you were trying to say, and you were right, it just came out a bit strange.

Why do both companies hate each other and why is microsoft trying so hard to put playstation out of the gaming industry for good?

Sony has the experience of being #1 twice. I don't see a playstation exit anytime soon. IfNintendo never left, I highly doubt Sony ever will. The ps5 is likely to be a cheaper dumbed down console but Sony fufilled its wishes with the PS3 i.e they successfully won the nex gen disc format war

That's great fodder for flames.
Anyhow, I think a lot has to do with the past generation. The PS2 thumped the latecomer, Xbox, into a virtual coma. This generation, though, Sony fans are shocked their console is a distant 3rd, that MS is solidly in second and a cheap Nintendo console is selling like hotcakes. It's just hard for folks to accept, even with MS and the RROD drama.
Another thing that really creates anger is the lack of PS3 exclusives or the defection of Sony exclusives to the 360. Folks are quick to say 'But that's a Sony franchise - GTA owes Sony for their success!' when games went to the 360 first OR to the 360 only or a timed exclusive. The 360 had the userbase and it's all about getting paid in the end. The 360 proves games can sell. And developers could give a flip about the superior console - they want to make the most money possible.

Yeah, this part of human behaviour is one I don´t particularly enjoy, must fight this internal feeling. A lot of people take their love for a company waaaay too far, despite not having anything invested in it. |
Buying the console could be considered an investment because if the console fails, you'll have a dreamcast on your hands
