Possibly because their games and hardware are usually on time, cheaper than the competition and live up to the expectations of their intended audience? It's not hard to come out with what their market want, but MS and Sony seem to be having a hard time delivering.

 



As others have already pointed out, though there is a lot of hate right now it is nothing compared to last year when Sony was really down. Sony was accused of-

1.Being arrogant - True to an extent
2. Forcing a new video format - True
3. Having no games - Was harsh because it takes time to get quality games out and Sony released the ps3 late as opposed to the 360 so it made it's game library look even worse.
4. Being too expensive - Sony launched at a very high price but they actually sold their consoles at a loss. It came with a lot of new and unproven technology thus making it more expensive and more difficult to program for.

These are just a few things people were targeting Sony on, sometimes rightfully so and sometimes not. In my honest opinion I think that while Sony definately made mistakes, they have corrected many and the continuing competition from Microsoft and Nintendo will insure that they are on their game.

And ultimately it doesn't matter how well Sony does because there will always be haters and fanboys on all sides.



 

 

Cause they killed Sega....On a real note it goes in cycles depending on how each consoles are doing...



Former something....

Love them all Sony, Nintendo and MS all great console company's and all have there strengths and weaknesses



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

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

They did?  I don't remember that.

Please direct me to a link of the rockstar thingy.



"Also there's hatred to sony for their arrogance of people would get two jobs to buy a ps3 or we will sell with no games. Or the guy last year that said show me a ps3 in store and I'll give you 1000 dollars or however much it was despite the console being readily available"
That would be Jack Tretton you are referring too, and it was actually $1200 for any PS3 that was on shelves in North America. But ya, I think he kind of let that one slip and didn't really mean it (or he would be in dept, I live in Canada, and pretty much any gaming store had at least 3-5 PS3s, btw, I do own one :D).

"There are many fanboys out there ....some of them love Nintendo and took the Sony triumph as if it had anally raped Mario and their childhood or something ,others just want MS to be on top due to patriotism or obscure reasons (I dont get why anyone would want MS to take over the videogaming scene and never release it) and others have created complicated conspiracy theories about Sony being a monopoly last generation and them being the freedom fighters.Mostly absurd things ,as you can see...."
I'm curious as to how it "anally raped" Mario? It might have beaten Nintendo by a landslide the last 2 generations, but that doesn't mean it "anally raped" Mario. You might also want to choose more intelligent choice of words.

Anyways, I think one of the main reasons is because of Sony's arrogance, and it's fanboys. It seems it's fanboys are the loudest right now, and I keep seeing these topics and people posting in their sigs how Sony will take this generation and beat the 360 and Wii. You could say it's provoked.



                           

Yah I hate Sony (because they can’t be original) not the PS3 but I am going to buy one when there is something worth buying on it other then MGS4 and soon maybe LBP



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

not just over the internet though i've been into stores and i see people talkin about the ps3 and when i actually speak facts they stumble on there words yeah im a ps3 fanboy but i read up on the 360 and wii too so i can actually backup what i say its just wrong that people like to stay ignorant...or is it just our American ways?

 

Yeah.. I would stumble on my words if a PS3 fanboy spoke of facts.

Zing!

hehe j/k, I couldn't resist..

 

I think most of the hate comes from Sony promising so much and yet delivering on almost nothing but having the best Blu Ray player. The Wii stole the casual crowd and the 360 has shown that it can play games just as good (and in some cases better) then the PS3.

@ Dmeister

This story is way way old, it happened after E3 2007 i think, when GTA 4 was announced to launch on both consoles

i'll try to search for it though ;)
