Are we a bunch of Sony haters?

Actually Nintendo was actively researching and talking about their next system. Sony and Nintendo originally planned on co-producing a system. Their plans fell through and Sony went ahead and made their own. That's word on the street anyway.

Yeah, you're right. It looked like a combination of upgraded SNES and SegaCD, still designed to push sprites and BGs. It seemed like their biggest concern at the time was reducing load time off CDs. We're probably better off that Sony went their own way.

Probably right, but it's not like Nintendo wasn't thinking about the future. Not to mention, as previously already mentioned, the PC market heading in that direction anyway.

I don't hate Sony, (or Microsoft for that matter), I just feel more ‘at home with' with Nintendo. Under different circumstances I possibly could have just as easily been a Sony or MS fan, although I'm still a little sceptical about this claim.
When all is said and done I recommended a 360 over Wii to two of my friends. They asked me about Sony, and I told them flat out what I knew about the system. They knew why I chose not to mention PS3. They didn't know much about video games. not that I'm an expert, but I knew more than they did.
I'm also still enjoying playing my PS2 BTW.

[Drewbacca]

Why would you be skeptical about your own claim?

[SMBChick]

Well I guess what I meant to say is that I really can't say whether or not the Big N would be able sway me, even if I grew up at a different time, or under certain circumstances. It's difficult to distinguish to what degree certain aspects about the products have kept me a big fan of Nintendo since the NES. Great games, nostalgia, being a huge Mario fan, even a kind of 'loyalty' plays a small part.
The thing is, I respect others who just as loyal to Sony or MS. I really don't give a shit. Never did.

One of the most important things the Playstation did was make CG FMV widespread.

So now they killed 2D and removed gameplay for the sake of stupid ass pre-rendered movies. God damn I am loving them more and more.

How does one go on to argue that Sly cooper and God of War is the “extent of Sony’s useful franchises”? It’s such a ridiculous statement that could only fly here. Let’s just ignore the fact that Sony puts out a huge variety of games with plenty of million sellers yea.

So you equate sales with quality? Name some of these mythical great Sony games. I'm sure they're at least as worthy as naming the Eye Toy.

[StriderKyo]

Done.

Especially since that "huge variety of games" is primarily the work of third parties. Sony is the house that Square built, never forget this.

I think it's worth noting that Gran Turismo has outsold every Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear, Grand Theft Auto, Madden, Zelda and Halo game.

Crash Bandicoot also outsold every franchise on PS1 other than Final Fantasy.

Sony came up with the dual analog sticks after they saw the analog controller for the N64 much in the same vein of Sony "creating" the six-axis controller after the Wii's controls were revealed.

So what? Analog controllers had been around before Nintendo as well. Dual analog was still an important step forward.

In terms of price, a lot of you keep spewing $600 this $600 that. A lot of people have spent as much if not more to match feature for feature that of the PS3.

No. A lot of us arn't that fucking retarded.

I am not arguing that you like or dont like the games the 360 has, or that the PS3 has the number and quality of games as the 360 has, but many of you have spent just that much.

You realize that you just made everyone's point right? Why would anyone plunk down $500 or $600 bones on something with no games anyone here really wants to play?
