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...

  • 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.
