you Sega fanboys should shut up, how its Sony's fault your company couldn't beat PS2? Maybe SEGA should be more creative and try something new instead of only Sonic. Sega is NOT superior gaming company. do you see any SEGA consoles today?

 

Sega should have been more creative? ha ha ha, Do you think that Sega only make sonic games? Sega have made more games and franchises than you have had hot dinners.

And it wasn't Sonys creativity that got them to where they are today in the gaming business, it was their financial muscle and moneyhatting of 3rd party games.

After Nintendo lost my interest in the 5th gen and Sega dropped out at the 6th gen I couldn't bare to see Sony drop out in this gen. I really don't want to see the day that the only system I'll be gaming on is my PC.

Not at all. Sony came in to the business by hogging 3rd party games with cash...putting Sega(much superior gaming company) out of hardware and almost crippling Nintendos console business.

If they left someone else would jsut take their spot and pick up their studios...

 

100% true

I second the above statement.

(Saved me from going in to an anti sony rant lol)

Conviniently forget to mention that the Saturn's contrived hardware architecture and Nintendo's poor treatment of third party developers is what allowed Sony to enter the market and dominate. Take off the rose tinted glasses and recognize that Sega and Nintendo did these things to themselves.

Not at all. Their games are good and I would be able to play them in other consoles. I also don't think they ever brought any significant innovation to the hardware front to make them worth sticking around.

OT - Yeah, i would be bothered if the PS3 was sony last console, because first they have great series that i would hate to see them dissapear, and because sony's products are always reliable and trustworthy, even if they are expensive as hell

Don't generalize Sony's products like that. Almost everything Sony makes is very reliable. But you seem to forget that the PS3 is their first reliable console. The other two had the crappiest disc drives known to man.

Yes it would. I hate M$ and Nintendo has gone too casual and ignorant for my taste. Yep, I don't and wouldn't support either of them. On the other hand, I could still play games on PC.

Not really. As long as god of war moves to microsoft or nintendo (or another console), everything would be normal for me

Sonys MONEY did more damage the Sega and Nintendo than Sega and Nintendo did to themselves.

They preyed on REAL GAMES DEVELOPERS and fed them to the wolves.

Bottom line______________________

And how exactly have you proven this theory?  Y'know, other than just believing what you want to believe.

OT: it would bother me because I like Playstation, not particularly Sony.  If some other company came in and took over the playstation brand then I'd be fine with it on face value, barring whatever changes they decide to put forth that may or may not annoy me.

oh forget it, yes, it was Sonys amazing gaming division of 1994-1999 that made all the difference right?

Oh wait? they had no damn games in 1994 and relied on 3rd party support to get them to the top and not their own gaming division talent.

How is it a proven theory? so you think the Saturn and N64 would have been failures if sony wasn't around? Lots of 3rd party developers took Sonys easy money rather than supporting two Hardware and software legends.

So why do i blame sony and not developers? simple, sony were the ones with the cheque book.
