Why are people hating on certain home consoles?

NatewlieHe meant how the accessories aren't Sony brand, thus they don't make money off of it. The only Sony brand accessories I can think of for the PS3 are the controllers, the BluRay remote (which you don't need at all), the blutooth headset, and the component cables.With the exception of the controllers the BluRay remote (which again, is useless), everything can be bought cheaper if you find a different brand, the blutooth headset especially. Even an HDMI cable, they don't have a Sony brand one, so it doesn't count toward accessory sales.Strawman fallacy. Your point has no basis, stop committing it, it makes you look dumber in the process. You've used this fallacy a lot in the past and we know that you know what he meant by it. You're just trying to argue just so you don't have to agree.You knew what he mean.

No, no. Don't tell him to stop.
This forum needs more lol.

You might think it's funny, I know I sure thought it was funny at first, in fact I thought it was a joke or just flamebait.But he's taken the same illogical stance on everything and I'm inclined to believe he actually believes in it.Kinda like how databank saw no use ever out of a cell phone. But that's a whole other topic.

That's the funny part.

Agreed.I laughed at his couple lasts posts though.

so let gaynorvader reiterate that because his stance is that sony is super slick and it says sony is better then the 360/wii. he's a fanboy, an arrogant.
it even shows how nintendo and even microsoft are so greedy by making these hardware which the company gets super money from.i need proof on what gaynorvader have said! lol!

You're making stuff up, he's never made a stance on if Sony's better than either.If you didn't understand what he said, then I lose all faith in humanity. You're bending his ideas so you have a basis of argument, which in fact is the opposite, there is no basis of the argument because you've made it up. You're arguing with your own ideas.

I think we can all agree on a few thingsThe Wii sucks because Nintendo made it and it can't cook bacon
The PS3 sucks because Sony made it and it cannot grill steaks
The 360 sucks because Microsoft made it and it cannot microwave food

here is the statement,
While it's true that MS and Nintendo make a good amount from the sale of peripherals, the same is not true for the PS3 as after the controllers, you can buy any other hardware and it'll be compatable with the PS3. So the PS3 ends up making very little off selling accessories and all the profit they make comes from advertising on PSN and the sale of games.notice how it is for sure that if you have a 360/wii, you're definitely going to spend a lot of money as nintendo and microsoft earns good money from the sales of hardware. to earn good money means it's expensive.but when he mentions ps3, he softens and says, you save more money and it's very good if you buy a ps3 as opposed to 360/wii because sony doesn't make you spend all this money because they don't earn that much money from it.it's clear as night and day!

No, you're adding shit in between. He never meant any of that, you're just putting words in his idea (putting words in his mouth) to further back up your illogical argument. Stop it, it's annoying, makes no sense and is dumb. Stop making shit up, it doesn't make you seem smart.All he meant was how there's little accessories with Sony, so they can't make as much money as MS and Nintendo does (he does NOT say that it's because they're not greedy). Then he said that they make most of their profits of off software and PSN.

Sorry ultra I was playing games! :PI was not saying that every piece of hardware is compatible with the PS3, only that, as Natewlie said, that only the PS3 controllers and the Bluetooth remote do not have any other options for peripherals when buying them (although you can get third party controllers that aren't six axis, but I digress). I was pointing out that the Wii has countless peripherals, many of which are rip offs (the attachments for the wiimotes springs to mind). The 360 has locked down its console so that you have to buy MS brand stuff, this means they charge a hefty premium on the products. Check the price difference between a laptop HDD and an official 360 HDD of the same size and you'll see what I mean.Maybe I am a PS3 fanboy, I don't know or care (it's not relevant to the facts), but it seems to me that Sony have made the most effort making their console good value to the consumers. Is this because Sony are philanthropists? I doubt it, more likely they wanted to make thier console as appealing as possible in order to launch their blu ray format and their new Cell Processor.

Why did this turn into a discussion on hardware compatibility?

because it always ends up like this

Stanley Richards · #71Why did this turn into a discussion on hardware compatibility?

Because ultra stepped in and it went to far :(...But seriously, to understand why people hate certain consoles, it's hardware, software and sales/marketing that'll get a look

msghomemaintenancewhere i live you can get 4 games for 20 quid

i wish i lived there

Replying to #74

You say that now, but I'm sure those four games are either garbage, or ancient by market standards.

hull, england.

I don't like the PS series because it almost only brings out fighting games...

Replying to #77

If my fighting games you mean the likes of Tekken, Soul Calibur, etc. Then that's more Nintendo's domain. Before this generation, PS games were mostly RPGs.

Xbox has much better games than ps3 and most of the ps exclusive games are coming to xbox such as Metal gear solid and final fantasy while we still got lots of xbox exclusive games such as halo ,forza and gears of war

Because a certain Xbox/Ps3 owner I know is a dick and a lot of Xbox/Ps3 owners hate on the Wii so I hate on them and their consoles XD
