I don't hate Sony or any company for that matter.
But I tend to avoid their products on the whole. While MS in particular has engaged in shady tactics as it relates to other companies and competitors... I'm not aware of them straight up screwing their customers over on purpose.
Sony on the other hand has done so several times. They knowingly lied about secretly installed DRM to customers in their infamous Rootkit scandal. That's literally biting the hand that feeds them. When PSN got hacked during the PS3, they knew customers credit card information had been stolen, and yet kept it a secret for almost 2 weeks. The quality of their hardware also seems to often be inferior to their competitors despite being priced similarly.
Even looking at recent events, it appears they haven't changed. Sony absolutely lead the campaign against Microsoft for the Xbox One's always online policy early last gen. Even included that video mocking Xbox's game sharing. Only for it to be recently discovered that it was actually the PS4 that requires an online connection to work all this time. Once the cmos battery in your PS4 dies, you'll need an online connection to use the console at all.
Their track record, along with their exclusives not interesting me, makes me avoid their gaming related products.
