When every major forum and social media is Sony biased aside from Microsoft stints of astroturfing, when PlayStation dominates nearly the entire world compared to Xbox, and PlayStation stomps as hard as it does sales wise there’s probably a reason for that.i don't hate either. i'll buy whatever one makes sense to me. and for me that has been:
PS1
PS2
PS3
PS4
XSX
I was ready to buy an XB1 in 2013 but we all know how that went. Ultimately i feel it was the right decision getting a PS4. It's still early to really say about PS5 but this is the first time in 25 years that i haven't been excited about a Playstation console. the only reason i want one is because i was stupid enough to sell my PS4 and it would be even more stupid to buy one again when all i want to play is a couple games (Persona 5/Bloodborne). i'll just wait for the PS5 Slim and pick it up. as for exclusive PS5 games the only ones that interest me are Demons Souls ( a remake of a 11 year old game...........) and Horizon Forbidden West.
i'm not loyal to a multi billion $ company. i'll join whatever platform has the games i wanna play or has the best value. fanboyism is pathetic and immature. but yeah good luck getting a fair balanced view from this forum which is heavily Sony biased.
Sega, Sony and pirating killed the Dream cast but the Sega fanboy in me still blames SonyI loved the Dreamcast, it's still one of my favorite systems, but Sega killed the Dreamcast just like they killed the Saturn. Both machines were not properly equipped to stay competitive in the market due to the two-headed nature of Sega with the Japan and US divisions constantly screwing each other over.
The Xbox was the spiritual successor. Born of a drunken idea by a bunch of Microsoft bods who were upset that the Dreamcast was discontinued.Haha thats as good a reason as any. Dreamcast was a great system, i played mine regularly until it stopped working. Its debatable which console went on to “replace” the dreamcast. I think gamecube and xbox split the difference in terms of feeling like a spiritual successor
Out of all 3 i dont dislike any of them but i never buy a sony console, never owned one since a ps1 (one of my top 3 consoles as well) but i mainly dislike there controllers (ps4s was way better then ps3s but didnt like the bumpers) also im not keen on there exclusives either, only one ive enjoyed recently was the last of us and spiderman, i personally thought they had some really good exclusives on ps3 such as killzone 2 and 3, latest socom and mgs4 (ive also played almost all of there exclusives as i my dad and flat mate both own a ps4) one company id say i dislike is nintendos practices, there exclusive are amazing and some of the best games ever created but them just porting games and selling emulators for £50 is just shitbag, even worst is that i end ip buying them because there games are so good, xbox overall decent just ashame about there exclusives, only xbox exclusives ive enjoy lately was rare replay, gears 4 and 5 and the forza horizon series, rest have been poorIm not posing this question to be combative, or even to challenge anyones views. Ive just been interested in the psychology behind console warring, or what makes someone say “i will never buy a game console or game from x manufacturer”. Wheather you dislike playstation, Nintendo, or xbox, what is the specific reason you feel that way, outside of spiting someone else on a forum?
for me, i play more xbox than playstation, but i own and use both. I have since the ps360 generation. Ive always leaned xbox because it was where most of my friends were and the controller, but i dont dislike playstation at all. I adore many of those exclusives and i think the ps5 is a great console. I do have my gripes with both companies right now. But nothing that pushes me over the edge into hatred territory.
I also think that some times its fun to get caught up in the wars, exxagerating your opinion or stance to insight reactions some times. After all arguing is a good way to release stress. So i wonder if that plays a role?
Google is the worst. Apple is a close second.I actively dislike Google as a company, so Stadia can go to hell.
Sony. Fuck em, they killed the Dream cast.
So Sony and Nintendo doing some shady shit that can borderline be considered flat out smart compares to Microsoft being a 2 trillion dollar company that got that way through a literal government declared monopoly and has used nothing but sheer money to continue staying in the game.I love at the comments about hating microsoft because is a big monopolistic company. Straight out of the late 90s.
And I love that the counterpoint to that is going with mom & pop stores Sony or Nintendo. Go over the shady shit happy family oriented Nintendo did to rule the console market with an iron fist in the 80s.
Or how Sony used piracy as a troyan horse to set foot in the market and run out the competition and build it's "global appeal"

Wow holy Batman!!! I have no idea what you are smoking but take a pause from that!Some shady shit. Sony dumped it's way in the console business with piracy and almost ran SEGA and Nintendo out of business. All those old milennials that are Sony fans from Latin America, mainland europe and middle east how do you think they got to be so attached to the brand in the ps1 and ps2 days?
Why all those great AA game studios died in the seventh gen?If their games were so popular on the ps1 and ps2 days. Because they didn't sell that much, everyone knew them, everyone played them... on pirated consoles.
I never understood the narrative of MS being bad because they have money to buy studios. M&A is a common practice with companies of that size. Fanboys on these forums believe Sony gets poor kids out of the street, feeds them and teaches them how to to code. More of a grassroots approach right?
What's your point about Sony and piracy ? It was also rampant on the og Xbox and 360 and the dreamcast also PS1/PS2 it was everywhere !! And pc is probably the worst platform for it .Some shady shit.

Are you even trying to not be plain obvious ? what you are doing to is write nonsense in hopes that fanboys go along with it!Totally.
Sony's biggest games and studios mostly come from acquisitions.
- Psygnosis (which transformed into Sony Liverpool I think)
- ND
- Guerilla
- Sucker Punch
- Media Molecule
- Insomniac
-There were others ones too, which they already closed down (including Japan Studios)
- Sony even bought into Gaikai and ONLive assets for their streaming tech, which no doubt laid the foundation for streaming PS Now and Remote Play. So even for infrastructure, they spent instead of building themselves
Their only remaining big games which are from grassroots studios are God of War and Gran Turismo. Even their baseball game is now multiplat.
No need to be combative.Are you even trying to not be plain obvious ? what you are doing to is write nonsense in hopes that fanboys go along with it!
anyway!!!
so, from this thread we can all conclude we like gamers (when we aren’t playing video games ) we play the game of “I have opinions” and we like watching others having meltdowns? Yeah?
Agree, PS4 jet sound is yet to be achieved by other brands.No one makes consoles like Sony
where do you put your poop?I vehemently hate the Jaguar CD because the thing looks like a toilet.
There is nothing good about their consoles, but their games on the other hand are good.No one makes consoles like Sony
Ps5 is indeed a sexy box. I love the tower of power look of series x and the compactness of series s as wellNo one makes consoles like Sony
I don’t do Nintendo because every grown adult I’ve met who actively enjoys Nintendo products is a fat anime nerd that’s sleeps with a hentai body pillow named Kamiko-Chan.
If I let their "hardcore" communities negatively influence which games and companies I enjoy, I'd never be able to play anything on anything. They're all painful and pathetically lacking in self-awareness.I don't like Sony Computer Entertainment because PlayStation Fanboys are the worst and dumbest Human Beings on this Planet!!!
