Forums - Sony Discussion - Destructoid: Sony needs to STFU

PR this gen have all been bad, but I think Sony's is a little worse. Only person that I read what they say and don't facepalm immediately is Jack Tretton, he speaks in a very humble manner.

Truth be told, that's what the market seems to be saying.

N4G is the butthole of gaming blogs.

You are 100% correct

Since you failed to read through the entire thread, obviously, let me spell it out for you: IT WAS ADDRESSES TO ONE PERSON...

There, that should do the trick, and btw we're on VG Chartz, not N4G.

Seeing as how you express constant bashing and negativity, I doubt you're the right person to be discussing a Sony issue with

Oh you don't even know me.  look at my earlier posts like I told you. That aside, there's nothing positive to say about how Sony handled the PS3 this gen. First off, they lied about the PS3, touting it as the strongest console out there and etc. The final product didn't have all the things Sony promised.

Sony's arrogance/marketing/PS3's pricing drove away a lot of third party support, as well as consumers. By looking at some of the PR statements such as "5 million people will buy it even if it didn't have games" just shows you how arrogant they were. They were just relying on brand recognition, and I suppose third party devs, hoping they would be loyal to them. What happens? A lot of the games announced disappeared or went multiplatform. I'm glad this taught Sony a lesson. They were forced to make games on their own instead of relying on third party.

Then you have PS3's advertisement which were really terrible. There was the floating baby one, and some retails were advertising it as a blu-ray player. Another thing was the multiple SKUs. I remember Sony saying they weren't going to go the way of multiple SKUs like Microsoft's because it would confuse the customers. Next thing you know, Sony releases the 60 GB, 20GB an 80GB (one with BC and one without it), 160GB and the 40GB which was short lived thanks to the mandatory installs because of the blu-ray's slow drive.

Nintendo's PR was pretty bad back in the day, but they redeemed themselves. I haven't seen anything bad from them as of late, and how can I hate them now? They made the DS - best handheld ever. The original Xbox was terrible; I owned it and rarely played it. This gen, Microsoft won my heart by having a healthy relationship with third party devs and providing excellent games/service. The RROD was bad, but at least they gave out a 3 year warranty for it. Sony were sued for the PS2's disk read error.

That said, I can appreciate Sony like the others, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Maybe next gen. I loved Sony and PlayStation brand. Sony gave me years, if not a decade of entertainment in which they earned my respect, but they lost it this gen.

PS3 exclusives are going to 360 because of Wii's success. That's it. And it is not a one way damn road. Look at how many 360 exclusives have come to PS3 and then tell me that third parties are running from PS3. It sounds like you are still in early 2007 my friend. 360's highest rated exclusive EVER, Bioshock (and its forthcoming sequel), have now come/are headed to PS3. Eternal Sonata, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Tales of Vesperia are several other examples that pop straight into my mind.

It's true that 360 lost exclusives to the PS3. However, the 360 games were timed exclusive whereas the once PS3 exclusives come out on the same day as the 360's. Yeah, I know the PS3 version get special treatment and whatnot, but I would rather play the game the day it comes out instead of waiting a year for it. Also those lost 360 games aren't as big compared to Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Devil May Cry, etc. Microsoft is playing it smart this gen. Obtaining those franchises that were well-known on the PlayStation brand, hoping to convert some PS2 owners to a 360.

Yep, just look as this marketshare video in Japan. Look at Sony's market share go!



When did this site get so many anti-Sony trolls?

We need a mod or two in this thread.

actually most of them were actually true when they announced.

for floating point calculations Cell still unrivaled and uses in the most powerful cpu cluster the ibm roadrunner.

they did have to cut a bunch of things. but the ps3 still is showing more muscle than the 360.
Killzone 2 and uncharted 2 are gaming gems.
the only game i can think to rival those it's crysis.
