"its time for the cocksucking sony morons to finally admit that the ps3 is an underpowered, overhyped turd. its so funny that the pc-in-a-box 360 pisses all over the supposed mighty cell lol
sony - the ps1 was great, the ps2 was pig ugly but had a good choice of playable games...the p3s is not quite so ugly, but underpowered and has no good exclusive games - where did it all go wrong you stupid jap bastards.
sort it for the ps4 or we'll nuke you all over again so you get the message you fuckwits. we have the bomb, you dont, and we WILL use it on you if you fuck us around with the next-next gen machine.
you've been warned you little cunts. "

"but all these tools coming out making endless excuses for Sony's astonishing parade of boneheaded cock-ups make me want to be a diehard MS/Nintendo fanboy."

Actually that's wrong, have a look at this quote from Dan Houser in 2004.
"The danger is currently the storage medium (DVD), and one we thing we’re all praying for in the next round of hardware is that they don’t just go, ‘It’s DVD again’."
You can see that Rockstar were hoping for a next-gen disc format in both consoles. Reply0
"There's also not enough RAM in the PS3, and the Blu-ray data transfer rate is much too slow. They put it in there for movies."
PS3 and Xbox 360 have the same amount of RAM. Also, despite what MS wants us to believe some developers are constrained by dvd. Rockstar, Epic, Bioware, Tecmo etc have all made comments on dvd size being a limitation for this gen. I think both are great consoles, and I own a 360, but I'm not pretending the 360 doesn't have it's own share of faults, just because it's the only one I own. Reply0
@Xerxes: Multi-disc only works for linear type games. Open ended games like GTA can't really use it, unless you don't mind swapping discs every time you go from end of the city to the other. Reply0
"Sony is facing the fact the Xbox 360 (thanks to being available a year earlier) is the default development platform for almost every game studio and publisher in the industry. It’s been built into the tool chain and processes, and primary development is happening on the Xbox 360 for almost every game you can find.
There’s a reason why the Xbox 360 version is almost always the version shown to press and analysts for new titles – often, the PS3 version isn’t even started yet, or is well behind in development." Reply0
"I'm not going to spin it, just come out with the truth, I was a PS1 and PS2 owner who felt that Sony took the piss with the PS3. I can afford most things but PS3 has no reason to be 400 quid, games don't warrant it so why should I support them this time?. I own a Wii and 360 and it covers every fucking base when it comes to console gaming. PS3 needs to go the way of the Dreamcast fast so we can keep console gaming cheap and for the masses like it's always been. "
That's quite funny. You think any company with a monopoly (Nintendo is not aiming for the same market as ms/sony imho) especially MS, is not going to exploit that, no competition, charge whatever you like, release shoddy products, that would be great. Your thinking is short-sighted. If gaming is going to stay cheap we need competition. Reply0

That's just how much it costs to launch into the console business against Sony, who were in their prime. It was never going to be easy, but they've got the metal to go through it. Quitting the games industry now when things are improving for them would be dumb, that would just be throwing all of that money away. Instead, They can see it through until it becomes profitable, there's not many companies who can take that, but Microsoft are not like most companies are they?
Yes, I agree. That's why I laugh when people talk about Apple or Sega re-entering the console market. MS are probably the only company with the vested interest and enough billions in cash reserves to seriously contend with Sony and that was for last gen. What it would cost to try and enter at this stage? Much more than $4billion I bet. Reply0

Wow...
Sony's Playstation 3 really is even worse in Europe than it is in North America or Japan."
Yeah because they all bought a PS3 just to play flow and nothing else. Just like everyone bought a 360 just to play geometry wars. Reply0

Home delay "disappointing" - MS
They didn't rush it, it's a really well designed machine. Sloppy bloody testing though."
That's generally called rushing it. They didn't allow enough time for it to be properly tested.
