1. Sony tried to sell a $599 console.
2. Sony lost many of its exclusives, some as high profile as GTA, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy, DMC and Tekken. And yet they expect us to pay $599 (now $299 finally) for their console.
3. Their first/second party isn't up to standards. Nintendo could afford to lose third party support cause they had Mario, Zelda, RARE, Star Fox, etc. etc. to fall back on. Sony's first/second party is just average.
4. Their lies and propaganda and false hype.
5. Them always trying to force their new worthless technology on us. The CELL and Blu-ray put the pS3 to astronomical prices and delayed the system relentlessly. Not to mention making it complicated to work on.

You would have been better of without some of this nonsense you posted. Have you got proof that Blu-ray was worthless? Your assessment of their 1st/2nd party studis/games is your opinion. The rest of the industry, thankfully, doesn't seem to agree with it.

The PS3's first/second party games are average at the most - at least not worth it to pay $300 for the console. Sony is the complete opposite of MS and Nintendo (who both have franchises that could keep them alive with ease - Sony has nothing).

And Blu-ray is worthless, optical discs are on their way out and it pushed the PS3 to cost $599 in the beginning, and what benefits? Yeah, so we don't have to switch discs.... I'd rather switch discs than go through 40 minute installs. Seriously. Metal Gear Solid 4 would've been better on 2 or 3 discs (original MGS was on 2 discs anyways), rather than watching Snake smoke and messages for 20 minutes.

I can see this is hopeless. You believe your stuff to be facts, which they're not. I'll refrain from furtering this, but just remember: TO EACH HIS OWN...

Carry on...

Apparently people agree cause PS3 games (and the PS3 itself) are dusting up at stores. Third parties made Sony (Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and Tekken made the PS1 popular, GTAIII, MGS2, Final Fantasy X made the PS2 popular), and now that almost all the major third party games belong to Microsoft now the PS3 has nothing.

OMG epic fail post of the milenium


Quote me!!!



I am a loyal SONY fan and will always be.

I am also a PS1, PS2, PS3 and a PSP owner.

Great article, the media and all these goofy writers should show more respect to Sony, they probably wouldn't be making a living off writing about games if it wasn't the Playstation!

 

wow, this statement saved my time i would waist on some crappy fanboy rant. 2-3 articles against sony and it already is "showing no respect?". without nintendo and their consoles there wouldn't be any games since they made gaming industry from scratch after 1983 - sony only copied nintendo and bought their way out to the top by moneyhating publisher and developers. yet nintendo was the one who actually always made a progress in gaming industry from controllers, handhelds, services to whole genres of games. sony did nothing and yet nintendo always ends up with all the hate.


how about you actually click on the link before posting? There were 11 articles in 5 days, buddy.

And if sony didnt came into the industry video games would stay the thing for kids and we wouldnt had any mature games as well as some of the most popular franchises today.

"Ha ha," said the Wii fan to the PS3 fan, "Don't talk to me about the media being biased against your console."



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Bullcrap!

That was the short answer.

Longer answer follows.

Thats a cartload of bullcrap!

Even longer answer follows:

PC gaming has had mature games long before consoles did, and thats about as much as I can be bothered to write.

 

 



Tease.

lol, just stop. mature games were made before psx era if you know - most of the games that made playstation so popular started on nintendo and microsoft consoles. Shin Megami Tensei, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Snatcher, Policenauts, Ys, Chrono Trigger, Harvest Moon, Ninja Gaiden, Splatterhouse, House of the Dead, Earth Defense Force, Breath of Fire, Shadowrun all started on older consoles. psx and ps2 didn't established any game/genre that was new to the industry - all those "mature" games were on snes, nes long time ago not to mention pcs.

Say whatever you want but before PS1, video games ''was the thing for kids''.Lots of game analysts said so. Mature violent games lived up on PlayStation. That's what made playstation brand was so popular back than.

what analysts? you? just stop already. the fact that nes, snes, msx didn't have 3d gorefest doesn't mean there wasn't any mature games. heck all Shin Megami Tensei games released on snes are still more mature games than titles like GTA4(which is immaturity fest) and Heavy Rain ever would be. since when mature game means boobs, guns, f-bombs and gorefest? i always though that mature games are mature because of the story and climate, but i guess immaturity is today's maturity, right?
