Sony for me should be hated for 4 reasons :- Sony's unwillingness to work and negociate with third parties (Assassins creed, GTA4, DMC4, and now FFXiii)

 

 So Sony should be hated because they cant extend such big checks as MS?

I can only speak for the VGC community because I don't visit other forums. The main reason why we hate Sony is that they are selling the PS3 at a loss which prevents our bestest friend DMeisterJ to get the new system of his favorite company.

You got me all figured out don't you Mr Stoppable.  :)

why don't you try to bribe companies to stay exclusive to you when you are billions of dollars in debt.

@blackstar & Diomedes

Rockstar once said that they wanted to make GTA4 timed exclusive to the PS3 the same way that they did during the PS2 days, but Kutaragi wasnt responsive (it's a money issue for sure)

The same thing happened with Ubisoft for Assassins Creed

and by the way, the 4 reasons listed are what makes ME hate them

I don't *hate* Sony. I owned PSOnes, the PS2 and a PSP. My PS2 gave up on me after more than 2 years of service, but I'm not upset because it was one hell of a ride. I actually have a soft spot for Sony (and underdogs, and Sony is the underdog now).

But the company stance on the PS3 alienated me. I felt they were arrogant. They took guys like me for granted-- me having bought previous versions they think I'll automatically buy the latest one.

It's nothing compared to last year. NOTHING.

As for this site in particular, it always fluctuates with how each console is doing.

because at this point, the ps3 doesnt have a lot of huge games, and even less great games that are PS3 exclusive (MGS4 comes to mind, but thats about it.)

 

Then you havent played uncharted, Resistance, Ratchet n Clank, or Gran Turismo

Cognitive Dissonance: Cognitive dissonance is a theory of human motivation that asserts that it is psychologically uncomfortable to hold contradictory cognitions. The theory is that dissonance, being unpleasant, motivates a person to change his cognition, attitude, or behavior. This theory was first explored in detail by social psychologist Leon Festinger, who described it this way:

Dissonance and consonance are relations among cognitions that is, among opinions, beliefs, knowledge of the environment, and knowledge of one's own actions and feelings. Two opinions, or beliefs, or items of knowledge are dissonant with each other if they do not fit together; that is, if they are inconsistent, or if, considering only the particular two items, one does not follow from the other (Festinger 1956: 25).

He argued that there are three ways to deal with cognitive dissonance. He did not consider these mutually exclusive.

1. One may try to change one or more of the beliefs, opinions, or behaviors involved in the dissonance;
2. One may try to acquire new information or beliefs that will increase the existing consonance and thus cause the total dissonance to be reduced; or,
3. One may try to forget or reduce the importance of those cognitions that are in a dissonant relationship (Festinger 1956: 25-26).

Without writing a massive essay on the subject and how it relates to the console wars, this. But to OVERsimplify, most people cannot afford all three consoles, or at the very least, they do not wish to purchase all three. So they have to justify their purchase and the PS3, being as pricey as it is, makes itself an easy target. So its positive traits will be overlooked so that the gamer can feel better about his or her own console. People who own multiple consoles are more likely to say positive things about each console while acknowledging the negative traits.
