Sony Wholeheartedly Stirring Up and Supporting the Console Wars.

The title says it all. And before I have fanboys for the consoles and filthy Pc elitists (seriously, nobody likes you.) blowing up the comment section because I play Xbox, I'm not taking sides, I simply find this pitifully immature and something that will cause Microsoft to lash back back childishly which will only have a repetitive cycle. I have lots of friends that play Xbox with me, and others that play PlayStation. And for those that do play PlayStation, they are respective and our insults are merely jokes about exclusives or other nonsense. This has been a silent pact amongst us all, for the Console Wars have gone on [u]FAR[/u] too long. This video was oddly suggested to me on YouTube a few days ago. (I suppose from watching the Xbox Gold Games for July, which look pretty good for an Indie game fan :) I watched it, then watched it again. What Sony did was clever film design wise, but snobby, obnoxious, and incredibly immature, fully aware of what the comment sections would look like. (Don't visit them if you do watch the video.) I'm disappointed by this terribly, after their disagreement to cross-play, (After they could have been different from Microsoft.) and now this smack in the face to Xbox players out of nowhere. This only instigated younger players and idiotic hotheaded college students to FURTHER continue these incredibly old, and tiring Console Wars. It's a shame, as we all now know Microsoft will have something, if they already don't have something ready, to obnoxiously smack Playstation players with. We won't live to see the Console Wars end, but we certainly can make a choice to not participate in them and look like imbeciles. "My black box is better than yours!" "Mine has a different system layout!" "We get free games every month!" "U-uh, well...so do we, and we have more, and better exclusives!" "Well we have better graphics!" Oh heavens, because we live in a day and age where graphics are so close to resembling real life. Isn't that a marvel? Truly, I bet older gamers will tell you how much games have evolved from these last 30 years. [u]You[/u] do something about these silly arguments if our immature developers aren't going to. All they care about is your money. If you haven't noticed, they're still charging us to talk to our friends and play online, a KEY feature in most games, if not the main feature nowadays...

      Tldr Sony fanboys are in full damage control and can't handle the power of the X. Sony fanboys will always be this pathetic, theres nothing we can do about it. Edit: they started it in 2013, Sony are the immature children of gaming.

        I didn't read any of your rant. I clicked the video, saw it was from a fan account and not any official PlayStation source, then realised you're an idiot for thinking otherwise. The only person wholeheartedly stirring up anything, is yourself.

      • Speaking of shit-stirring and interpersonal disappointment, if you took twenty seconds to look at the channel's "about" page and check the linked instagram you would have realized it's a -blam!-ing fan account, and not sponsored or owned by Sony. You may have also guessed by the lack of connected channels if you bothered checking that (generally official accounts are hooked up to others, such as how the official PlayStation channel links to affiliate channels) or the fact that a supposedly official channel has 200-something thousand subscribers as opposed to the official channel's 5 million. But no. You came, you saw, you did no research to match your outrage, and you went on a rant portraying fanboys as the actual company.

        What's the big deal? Fanboys always try to 1-up each other. Edit: Oh, you thought this was an official Sony channel. Yeah, it's obviously not. It straight up says it's a fan channel. You just posted this to start shit.

      • A) Not an official Sony channel. B) If you think this is bad, you missed out on the Nintendo / Sega wars. The propaganda was real. (see above)

        • I don't care what you play on, but don't dismiss the fact that each console has it's own pros and cons. It's not as simple as "My box is better than yours!" As long as you explain the reasoning behind which console you play on, I see no issue. Just don't be that guy who says his console is better and nothing else.

            • If you actually look into why Sony refused to do cross play it's because in order to do it, Microsoft was requiring people to make an Xbox live account. Basically Sony would have needed it's players to make Xbox live accounts and play through those (don't think you had to pay for them). There's no way any company would capitulate to rival in that way, especially when that rival is in the weaker position as Xbox is now. I'd also remind everybody that 5 years ago it was Xbox who refused to support crossplay, when they were in the better position. Hopefully crossplay will one-day be possible I'd love to play with my friends who are Xbox guys, but gamers have to quit expecting these corporations to do things that don't make business sense. Competition between consoles is great for companies and to a certain extent good for the players also. When crossplay becomes something that is good for all parties involved and not just the company that happens to be getting "beat" at the time, it'll happen. Or until everybody quits playing and paying for online services until crossplay is a reality (which of course will never happen).

              • To be honest...I just don't bloody care about this. I'm fine with what I want... [spoiler]Hell, the only reason I bought Vanilla Xbox One was because of Titanfall, and the reason I bought Vanilla PS4 was for GTA V (I had it on PS3 as well)[/spoiler]

              • Sony is a BUSINESS. ..and Sony's responsibility is to its shareholders. Cross-platform play is only in interests of two parties: Sony's competitors....and people who play on those consoles. Cross-platform play reduces the disadvantages for those players when it comes to the much smaller install bases (people to play with ) that those consoles have. While GIVING AWAY the primary advantage that Sony has over their competitors. While its a nice illusion to think we're all one big community of gamers. The reality is that Sony and Microsoft are locked in a competition for our dollars and our brand loyalty. ..and the side that is WINNING that battle at any given moment is NOT going to give away its advantages over its competitor(s). So just like Sony is saying "No" now that its winning. Microsoft said the same when XB 360 was beating PS 3s brains out....and its was Sony that was asking for cross-platform play.

                      It's like everybody has already forgotten the advert about trading in games that Sony put out in 2013.

                      • I'd rather have the Nvidia vs AMD debate than the "my box is better than your box" argument. ...if you catch my drift.
