Considering the Genesis Collection put more good games on the PS2 in one disc than Sony did in 5 years, I'd say you nailed it at this point.Quote:

I'm not a fan of what Sony's doing with the PS3 either, but I have faith that it will deliver, but only in the next 1 1/2 years when the big games come out. (Especially the JRPGs, which won't be as plentiful on the 360).
I'm not a full-fledged sony hater - there've been some really good games on the PS2 lately (Okami, Yakuza, Guitar Hero II, Bully).
Most of what has been keeping me busy lately has been on the DS/Wii (Warioware Smooth Moves, Wii Sports, Final Fantasy V, Tetris DS)
The second part of your sentence has nothing to do with the first. You listed third-party software that had nothing to do with Sony nor anything specific to the PS2, three of which would've been better on other consoles and the other is being done better on another console. That's like praising Toshiba because Pirates of the Carribean came out on DVD.Quote:

You would like Sony if you specifically liked the hardware or a service it performs. Offering Tekken 5 through the PS3 store and creating browser software for the PSP are examples of things that you would like Sony for. Capcom developing a game is not. XBL and courting developers to develop modified older games with online play are examples of things to praise Microsoft for. When people say they love the games on a console it's because of its software lineup and not because the company that developed it did something. There's a difference, which is what I'm pointing out.
Why I hate Sony and/or PS line:
1.) PS3 right now is not delivering and Sony is pretending it is.
2.) Sony is too big and bloated to care about their customers when their hardware fails (PS2 disc read error)
3.) Sony discourages 2D.
What keeps me from not entirely hating Sony:
1.) Recent crop of games like those previously listed are excellent
2.) The PS2 isn't abandonware like Xbox and GC have been. (New, great games are coming out for PS2 late in its life.)
3.) Supports JRPGs
I'm pretty sure we've been over this point as false a number of times in this thread alone.Quote:

Number 1 on your first list and number 2 on your second list are related. If one changed for the better, the other would change for the worse. Sony wouldn't be allowing shit in the PS2 if they were confident in the PS3 right now.
its called a transition, just like they did with the PSone to PS2 change. They didnt completely drop it and launch the new console. Why drop the console when its still making money? Ease the change. Theyre losing loads on each PS3 sold, can you really blame them for trying to offset the loss by milking the PS2 as dry as it could be?Quote:
