You know, over the years I've seen consoles come and go, even console makers come and go. I was around for the Atari and NES. I'm an old school gamer. I've had experiences playing games, selling games at retail, and now making them.
So when I say the following, think about what I feel based on how long I've been gaming, and my experiences...
"Sony fans are by far the worst when it comes to ego".
Seriously, I've never seen anything even half as bad as I've seen some Sony fans be. The devotion to their piece of plastic is utterly insane, almost like football team level. I've seen people straight up lose friendships because they were insulted by something said against their box. Maybe its because Nintendo and Microsoft fans have both seen the highs and the very very lows... Maybe... But Sony fans are so arrogant, its actually quite sad.
On the same level, Sony themselves are utterly up their own arse at the best of times. When they are market leaders, they have this "fuck you" attitude that I just never see anywhere else. Its almost like they actually say "Bah, we are in the lead, lets put our feet up now", and just wait. This is what they did in the PS2 days. They were light years ahead in sales, so wasn't interested in anything anybody else was doing, and thus, the PS3 was born. The plus side of all this is that as time goes on, MS/Ninty will actually come back around to being better off. Ninty are very slow on the uptake of new features, but MS tend to be pretty much on the ball and quick thinkers. Remember, most of the shit you see online, is because MS was there first and invented it, or at least, moulded it into what it is today.
With regards to the Sony guys comments... It is arrogant. It just is. They don't play well with others, simple as that. Never really have. They don't see that if there was crossplay, they could quite likely have MORE people playing. Thye just see it as people playing on other consoles... Well, for it to be crossplay, you need to play on BOTH, so... Flawed argument. Never mind the flat out lie that PSN is some how better than XBL (It really isn't, not by quite a margin) or that the PSPro is a better place to play than the XBOneX (Again, not true).
Theres promoting your product, then there is Trump-level lies. Sony seem to be doing the latter a lot.
I wouldn't be at all shocked to see next gen, if the tables turn around and Sony take the number 2/3 spot. Might *sound* impossible to some, but history in the console space is full of surprises. Look at the PSOne… Wii... 360... PS4... You just don't know. But betting all your cash on one console is a fools idea.
Just bloody play the games on whatever console has them, and enjoy the damn hobby. Because otherwise you turn into... No I can't even say his name... But he posts here and we all know how damn annoying he is...
