Common theme in every Gaming Forum I visit: PS3 H8

I am begginging to think Microsoft might be a little more dangerous than SCEI is giving them credit for because I see an OBVIOUS bias towards the X360 these days...

As you might know, I am a fan of both the X360 and PS3 (lol Revolution lol) but it seems that, among the hardcore gamer, X360 is where its at.....

In fact, it is becoming more and more difficult to read balanced PS3/X360 discussions....this is just an observation on my part but I think MS might be really on to something here....can we be seeing the start of big (sales) transision from the Sony brand to the MS brand....

A big part of me looks at the sales numbers worldwide for PS2/PSOne and then looks at the PS3 hardware an says NO FUCKING WAY will Sony lose this gen, but let me tell you guys....if you visit the multiplatform gaming forums out there....there is an obvious luv for all things MS and X360 and a H8 for SCEI and PLAYSTATION 3

This is just my observation...
 
Dude PS3 sucks, deal with it man. Might as well shrug it off and move on.

That's right PS3 is the worst, so bad. It's awful.

Anyway, I just felt like telling you that the PS3 is horrid, putrid and downright raunchy. Like a wet fart on a sad summer's day.

















IMO
 
It's feels pretty equal to me. PS3 gets fire for the "realtime" tech demos and possible high price and 360 gets called Dreamcast 2 or Xbox 1.5.

Thats because your bias towards ps3. Ask any xbox fan and they will say the opposite is true.
 
Well, the 360 is coming out a lot sooner than the PS3 so, it's getting a lot more media coverage. There's really not much reason to be exited about PS3 yet. All we've seen is a few videos.
 
It's because people are getting sick of seeing higher-priced systems that break easily and are an all-in-one system.

The 360 will still have a lot of features, but at least Microsoft doesn't go off saying that their system "isn't for typical housholds."

So I can link together two huge plasma TVs when I play PS3 multiplayer? Who the hell has that type of money?

And I'd definitely jump shift to Microsoft but their "we're installing HD-DVD drives sometime after launch" just screams "fuck me over because I'm an early adaptor."

All the Revolution has done is get me interested. I'm thinking how great it could be and I'm thinking how it could take a turn for the worse. At least it has downloadable classics, though.

I think I'll just stick with the current generation for another year.
 
I don't see it. I see far more acceptance of a Sony-dominated console world everywhere I go (even by NDrones&XBots)...except TXB, of course. However, when a shift in power occurs in this industry, it seems to come out of nowhere and certainly not at the beginning of the generation, where the previous market leader is seen as all but unassailable...
 
Well to be fair KLEE.

Over last few weeks you have sounded like Sony's unoffical spokesman.

At the end of the day. PS3 is being taken with a pinch of salt, because no-one on here forgets the crashing disappointment that was the PS2 launch and subsequant 12 month barren landscape where the games should have been.

If there wern't so many silly idiots in the world and justice was done, then the DC2 would be launching about now and Sony would be a distant memory.
 
Oh don't get me started on TXB...

I like to go there for Xbox news....they are really on top of that stuff...

The anti-PlayStation spin doctors are working overtime there though..


Just try to post someting pro PLAYSTATION 3 (or even just informational) over there and see what happens to you....


So many double standards there it makes me sick...

What may seem anti-playstation to someone like yourself could be a perfectly reasonable statement.

Oh yeah....I *am* a fan of the PLAYSTATION 3, without doubt.....I try to be as balanced as I can be though, and I am also a big fan of the X360 and especially its games (like PGR3, GOW, GRAW, RR6,Call of Doodie Too and the game everyone loves to H8, Perfect Dark Zero)...


For sure, the pinch of salt thing is very fair towards the PS but on the large, I am seeing a small fraction of that pessimism towards Microsoft/X360, in comparison...that is all I am saying...

Yeah, I guess not everyone will see it my way........I am just reacting to some of the (mis)information I see overthere that really seems to go off the deep end (in my view, to be fair)
 
Could be that what happens to most every other pop-culture institution is happening to the Sony line of consoles now...a cultural backlash. Or not. :lol

I think you're creating an issue where it doesn't exist.

I see it this way:

Just because one system looks good doesn't mean the other one is bad. People on GAF tend to be more sensible when it comes to this stuff it seems. Since there is a bunch of info on the new Xbox, compared to the PS3, obviously you are going to stumble on a lot more Xbox 360 love. All we have from the PS3 are some tech demos. That's really not enough to start getting people turned on about it, but when the time comes, I'm sure you'll start to see a lot of people get excited about the PS3, much like what we have for the Xbox 360 right now. It's all a matter of what we have available to sink our teeth into.


That seems like a real nice benefit to launching first, I guess. Not much competition in the hype, since there's nothing to show from the other systems.

Go to 1up.com's EGM board (a.k.a. Nintendo Power's Unofficial Playpen), it's essentially the opposite side of the same coin that TXB is on.
 
As much as I'm considered an Xbot here, I personally can't wait for PS3. A console that would get PS2 quality level of content, but with the best hardware of the generation (if Sony delivers, but I don't doubt they will), now this should be a treat for the gamers.

Well I got a DS this week. So my Nintendo fanboy membership is paid up for. Got a White PSP on pre-order. Hoorah for a 3 console / handeld future. I need never troll again! :lol

Well except for Gizmondo threads :lol

Yeah, but Everyone Loves BlimBlim :D


P.S. In case you don't know Blim, that is my lame wordplay on a popular American TV Show called; Everyone Loves Raymond :)
 
Maybe people hate it because of lame tech demos, little information about everything except that it will be ridiculously expensive and will have a dildo for a controller.
 
I don't hate PS3. I just prefer the Xbox platform due to its superior online network and where MS wants to push the online arena (Co-op!). I'd like to see X360 succeed since it is pushing things I want to see in gaming. However, I still be buying a PS3 because I figure it'll still get the most support and be the dominant platform. Oh and Metal Gear Solid 4 helps. Plus Dynasty Warriors 6. And Level 5 support. Xbox 360 gets plenty of bashing. It is just a little annoying to hear Xbox 360 sucks and then we point to PS3 tech demos as proof.

It comes down to wanting to see the high man on the totem pole get knocked down a notch or two.

I'm actually pretty torn on what system to be the dominant platform, even if I lean towards X360. I like Xbox 360 for its online structure, but if PS3 is the most powerful platform I'd love to see the market leader with the most power own the industry.

I think sp0rsk hit it pretty hard. It's a vocal minority thing. It's like when people poll a gaming forum and the amount of Nintendo fans are largely disproportionate to the Sony fans. In the real world, is the break down 55-45? Is it even 60-40? Of course not.

The fact is, XBX360 is coming out in a few months. Everyone who loves videogames is excited for some reason or another that the next wave is here. Naturally, first mover gets the sort of attention that's going to be discussed because they get to set the benchmark for what others must strive for. It can be a disadvantage (if they're outclassed quick by competition) or it can be an advantage (if people perceive it as enough of a jump, they'll hop onboard and create a formidable userbase gap before the competition arrives). And this is where the discussion comes from. There's just way more info on 360. Does that create a perceived bias? It could yes. Circlejerk threads and (demilol) groupthink could form, but I don't really believe it has much to do with that. I just think that those who are actually Microsoft Xbox fans come out of the woodwork to discuss what they are excited about more often during this transition to a new console that bares their company mark. The same will happen as PS3 approaches, I believe.
 
The last time we took a gaf survey the GC owners were quite a bit more than ps2\xbox owners.

The 2 key points about how I feel about the xbox 360 and PS3 at the moment. MS is going to screw everyone over who picks up an xbox on day 1 by putting in HD-DVD later. This is going to be one hell of a fiasco, and really piss off a ton of people. The whole sony "oh, this thing is going to make you want to sell a kidney to get it, lolz" is really grinding. Just annouce the damn price already. I'm assuming its $400 to $450, probably 400, because you wont get a memory card, which will run you another $30, and I'm betting youll get composite and not component cables as well.
Nintendo will deliver in the way Nintendo always does. They will have less games, but the quality of the titles themselves will be top notch. I had to sell my Gamecube to afford books for school at one point, and I really regret it. I might end up just buying another cube at christmas with a shitload of games instead of investing that money into a xb360 with 1 or 2 games.

Well it IS a XBox forum, what do you expect. It's like going to a muslim picnic and trying to peddle ham and pulled pork sandwiches. C'mon KLee, even you are smarter than that. Also try some of the smaller boards if you want to have decent next console discourse and dialogue (i.e. GamersRepublic.net). You ever try to have a rational conversation at the Gamefaqs.com boards.

I'm pumped for XBox360 because it'll be here soon. PS3 isn't in sight for another 6-9 months and all we've seen are tech demos and representation of what the platform will offer. This isn't a bad thing, but nothing to have me jumping up and down about, Next year when I start to see some actual stuff, then you'll see me reserving a PS3 and getting anxious right next to you. But this fall, I'm interested in what the XBox360 hardware and the next iteration of XBL has in store for us as gamers.

P.S. I'm not even considering that HD-DVD talk until I hear something concrete.
 
Yeah, I guess your right....


I think both X360/PS3 are great but I just notice how it seems like it must be one (X360 Roolz, PS3 sux) or the other (PS3 Roolz, X360 sux) and I dont understand it....

Most likely, it stems from the fact this is an expensive hobby and a majority of consumers make one choice and rally behind just that console....

Most of the balanced talk here comes from multi platform owners, it seems...
 
Meh, it's the same thing as before the DC and Xbox/GC came out. The market leader tends to draw more heat. But when you look at the posts since about March or so, PS3 has dominated the discussion. I think if you got a realistic poll of the gaming populace, Sony's name would still carry the same weight. But in the runup to a new generation, the system wars always have the leader getting shot up early, but it doesn't really translate into much in the long run. See EA hate for reference. They still own all other 3rd parties, eventhough it's the cool thing to hate on them. PEACE.
 
I think on forums, it seems that Nintendo bias is the strongest of all.

Microsoft bias seems the lightest, though it was definitely the strongest during the Xbox unvieling / E3. :lol

its because we are grown up, and grew out of the grade school kid mentality of "I dont have X, So I must make it seem sucky, to justiify me owning Y".

Sony claims another another from hype. This truly is what Sony does best and the main reason I think they'll continue to dominate the gaming industry. They are just way better than MS at hyping their system. Sony is talking up how high priced the PS3 will be and then BAM! $299 price point. Everyone is going to freak out and wonder how Sony offered such an awesome product at such a low price. MS is kind of just sulking around, running damage control on why most of their X360 games look like shit. Sony is already building a psychological advantage in the consumer minds between those tech demos and kuturagi's comments.

None of my casual gaming friends think the Xbox 360's appealing in the least.

Why oh why must this board be so bias towards MS /sarcasm. Seriously though it goes both ways. The junior members are coming out of the woodwork to troll 360 on top of the sony apologists we allready had. I would like to see MS suceed but if PS3 blows it away power wise and even multiplatform games look alot better, fuck 360. I will be the first to jump ship.
 
Bah it's common to hate #1, the leader. Add a little bit of American pride ("We failed with Xbox but this time we will show'em (Sony)!") and you have what you have.
 
Well, the truth about the supposed game trailers being mostly conceptual renderings I think hurt its momentum. So did Kuturagi admitting the system will be expensive, possibly more expensive than the 360 (or Revolution, obviously).

As for my own bias, I own both a PSOne and a PS2, and right now, I'm not sold on PS3. I am thinking seriously about a 360 though, and I rarely play my Xbox. They just plan to offer so much out of the box at a decent price.

Ditto. And maybe Xbots seem bit louder today since that other group of bots, Ninbots, are quite quiet nowadays, atleast when compared to days when there were no limits to their cockiness and blind fate; "OMG LOL GAMECUBE NINTENDO LEAVES XBOX TO DISTANT THIRD WHEN MARIO COMES!!" was a common theme 3 years ago. =)

unlikely. with as many people outside of sony as have already talked about the system's high price, I find it extremely unlikely they will deliver close to $300 at all. I was in video game retail for years, I'm not one to fall for hype.
