What is Happening?

I'm disturbed.

As I write this, 7 out of the 9 stories on the top of the page, are all speaking seriously from a negative standpoint, most without any real reason or valid concern.

What is wrong with the PS3?

What is so wrong with Sony that is causing this sudden and extremely bothersome influx of negativity?

I, for one, believe angry and spiteful Xbox 360 owners are beginning to post negative news regarding Sony products.

I believe they are taking it upon themselves to enact upon Sony and their fans some sort of user viral marketing campaign.

Why can't we find something positive to post about Sony?

Why must we let all these negative stories get approved, and then have 647836478942136236 comments, all of which turn into flamewars?

I'm not asking for Sony fans to lash back at 360 owners; simply to resist them by bolstering our news section with a more positive and realistic approach.

It's quite depressing to log into n4g, only to see 7 of 9 (lol.....sorry....laughing at the reference) PS3 News section stories all pointing a rather big glowing red negative finger at Sony and its product and software.

It's almost getting as bad as network news....where you turn on the tv and all you hear is about how horrible our country is from stupid outsiders or from people who live here but failed at everything they tried to do and try to blame it on us.

I joined this site because I like the steady influx of (mostly) helpful news and information, and I wish to contribute to that as well.

I find it saddening that in the short while I've been a member, news stories have seriously degraded to beyond any level of stupidity.

It's not by accident...it's purposeful, and intentional.

Integrity. That's what I'm looking for. We need it everywhere in our society and it seems to have been lost. It's much easier now to blame someone else or make fun of someone else's choice or opinion then to say something positive and supportive, let alone factual. I am disappointed in this generation of young people and I'm afraid of the direction their attitudes our taking our culture in general. I hope to teach my kids to have integrity and respect. And to tell the truth.

Maybe, just maybe if Sony wasn't so damn concerned with segregation, price-fixing, unwanted propriety format #38, and lying all the time. Things would change. Then again, all the die hard Sony fanatics like mighty_douche, Meus Renaissance, MK_Red, gamesblow, TANOD, Maddens Raiders, biochemical, season007, MaximusPrime, nasim/shmee, ddldave, Bloodmask and PCPS3FTW etc, would die without Sony's lies to sustain them. They need lies more than food and water. They are unable to see reason and function normaly in society. As long as these goons continue to infect these boards with their lies. Thing will never change.

[GlossGreen]

that was negative and completely unsubstantiated. How using facts and logic instead of childish name calling.

[season007]

who actually own a xbox360 premium that is WITHOUT HDMI...some very first one
and yea i do play some games on the console (not the FPS since its not appealing to me azn...)
and except for playstation i don't really recall any product at my home is branded SONY...(o yes and my 4 years old laptop... no more)

edit: wow...i wish the disagrees i am getting are gold coins...and btw still not one of you willing to tell me why do you disagree with my personal opinion?

edit*2: do you have 10 accounts just to disagree other and agree yourself?

[Afterburn]

Did you hear that Bloodmask? What has the world come to?
Edit* and 3d - your little rant is exactly what the author of this thread is getting at. At the very least make an effort with your insults. A few less periods, a few more commas and a few more hours in English class mmmkkkaaayy? Thanks...

The irony of pointing fingers ...

[Peekay]

i honestly have no idea why people hate on Sony so much. But listen - what ever happens - don't stoop to a hater's level. In all honesty who cares what they think. Some people are obviously a little bit insecure about their system of choice, so much so that they decide to spam this site with negative ps3 news. I bought a ps3 @ launch and i don't regret it one bit. Here's what i think - I would never trade the likes of RFOM, MS, HS, Uncharted, R&C, UT3 along with the other multi plat games and PS2 games I have for ANY of the other games on any other system. I can only afford ONE next gen system. All the fud has come to a critical level. I believe this is because of a shift in the gaming industry. We are going into 2008 - the year of Sony.

Edit: 3rd place you flower pot - everyone in this thread who had a postive thing to say now have five disagrees from your five different accounts. Coward. Here's a bubble and an agree for eveyone else.

[season007]

as simple as it
i didn't defend any console for any previous generation as i am always buying them all
but this generation, somehow most of my comments are pro-sony

am i a sony lover? yes, i would think so, but am i a microsoft or nintendo hater? i wouldn't consider myself as one

However i have really been annoyed by the endless and pointless attack towards PS3 while it seriously has nothing wrong with most aspects....

if any of you still remember it was made fun about being a grill or heater , where its failure rate is less than 1%...

it was made fun about being no game or movie player, where...there are diverse games and good games to choose from

other things like Cell, RSX, PSN, or whatever, are they really that bad?
for me...most of the time i just want to tell the truth and thats why when ignorant comment is made i would like to defend PS3

i would wish there is a day i don't have to comment on the issue at all and everyone can just enjoy their games.

edit: if the secret disagreer can let me know whats wrong with my comment , i would gladly take it ...just don't hide and click this like a kid, or you should be at school right now

[UnblessedSoul]

I was a non biased fan until I came here and saw people like zhuk, the mart and loads of others posting bs all the time Well the xbox is the best award winning console blah blah. Fight fire with fire I say

[Zeevious]

I see this happening throughout the gaming industry...paralleled in many other area's of the news.

It is sad, lacking both integrity and a sense of basic ethics.

Regardless of what happens, no one should stoup to the level of fanboys. If people bother you or say something stupid, either calmly correct them or just ignore it. Calling them names back will just kill your console's chance of being the "mature" group, and it also makes you look like you're insecure about your decision.

[GlossGreen]

That's why negativity is so rampant on sites like this one. People have no excitement or interest in the real world, so they come here to have "contact" with other people. Most seek other like minded individuals, some seek conflict. That's just the way it is. Is it right? Of course not. But we all deal with it because we all love gaming and this happens to be a pretty damn good site to get information from.

[UnblessedSoul]

People for example 3rdplace he goes to the trouble to create accounts to disagree with everyone which shows he is a complete xbot loser with no life

[Afterburn]

I'm as guilty as most when it comes to throwing a dig at someone that's obviously trying to say something stupid, but when it's all said and done being a blind fanboy is as pointless as saying "my herpes is better than your gonorrhea".

[GlossGreen]

If these die hard fanboys (Sony and Xbox) look at the games the other consoles have, they would realize that focusing in on just one system is a waste of time and is just causing them to miss out on great games.

[lswanson1]

It really boils down to corporate support. Whether ppl will admit it or not, they have one preference over another when it comes to MS vs. Sony vs. Nintendo. Personally I rank them Sony > Nintendo > MS. I have even been called unAmerican and a jap (despite being as causcasian as they come, ie Swedish/Norwegian) because I support Sony over MS. It is just stupid. The thing is, everone acts tough online because there are no consiquences for acting up online, whether it be in a game through chat or on a forum through posts.

[Maddens Raiders]

coeus titan - you really are new dude. Just to let you know, this kind of stuff isn't looked upon too well by the boys in neon-green.

Welcome to the desert of the real.

[HarryEtTubMan]

The truth: 360 realize that the 360 isn't increasing its lead over the PS3 any longer. The consoles Literally almost TIED this month..... and we all know the PS3 is ONE HUNDER AND FIFTY F#CKING DOLLARS more expensive with not even half the amount of AA games until 2008(and O BOY 2008 IS GONNA BE PURE PWNAGE) AND THEY ARE ALREADY KEEPING UP AND winning by a few thousand hahahaha. O I guess common sense says that in 2008 when the PS3 is dropped to 350$ and possibly 300$ with the release of Killzone 2, Gran Turimso 5, God of War 3, Little Big Planet, Whit kNIGHT cHRONMICLES, Socom: Confrontation, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, UT3, Resistance 2,Tekken 6,5 NCSoft MMO's, 2 Rockstar Exclusives(hahahahahahahahahah ah keep your measley extra GTA4 content douche bags hahahahaha) and soo many more the PS3 will no longer TIE but suddenly LOSE... because, ummmm, well lets pretend the 1 million people in the world that just a purchased a PS3 in November just really didnt want one and make the XBOTS feel happy(PS3 OWNAGE IN 2008. MARK MY WORDS.... ITS ALREADY FREAKING TIEING ).hahahahaa They also realize the 360 will NEVER EVER have a game that looks and runs like Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 2 on their system... and its only the end of PS3's first year. They also realize it has only been out one little year. It's a baby. They also HATE AND ARE JEALOUS THAT IT WILL BE OUT 9 OR MORE YEARS(SONY ISN'T LIEING ITS THEIR MONEY), bLU Ray is gonna win the Format almost for certain or wither way always exist... They get crappy DVD9 WHILE PS3 OWNERS GET BLU RAY... THE NICEST FORMAT ON THE MARKET THAT SONT HAS BEEN GENEROUNS ENOUGH TO GIVE TO US FOR 399$. 3-4 GAMES just IN THAT list are as big or even bigger franchises than Halo. THATS HILARIOUS. They also believe in their minds that in 2008 and beyond the 360 will always beat the PS3 in the U.S. IT WON'T! YOU WILLING TO BET? I AM. PS3 IS THE CONSOLE EVERYONE EVERYWHERE IS BETTING ON. IT IS TOO POWERFUL. If the situations were reversed and a Xbox came out a year later... was trying something newwith Blu ray and a year of harder Development.... with far less games(even thogh now there are alot of good games...wait until 2008) and at a 150$ higer Price Range... IT WOULD BE DESTROYING THE XBOX. LITTLERALY CRUSHING IT BY THE THOUSANDS.... GUESS WHAT L I A R S. IT CAN ONLY TIE AND IT EVEN LOST BY A FEW THOUSAND THIS MONTH. THE GAP IS NO LONGER GROWING. THE GAP IS NO LONGER GROWING. THE GAP IS NO LONGER GROWING. DON'T U RETARDS UNDERSTAND SONY'S PLAN WORKED????? MICROSFT RELEASED HALO, MASSEFFECT, AND BIOCHOCK IN THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS AND SONY STILL TIED THEIR FREAKING SALES MAN. PS3 IS BRING OWNAGE IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THEY ARE SCREWING UP MICROSFTS TIME TO SHINE... AND TRUST IF U HAVE NEVER TRUSTED BEFORE... MICROSOT IS NOT AT ALLLLL FEELING THE WAY U DISTORTING FANBOYS ARE... THEY JUST TIED A BRAND SPANKIN NEW, 150$ MORE EXPENSIVE, FAR LESS GAMES (SO FAR) HAVING PS3. THIS IS THE ULLLLTTIMMATE PWNAGE BY SONY AND U RETARDS THINK YOU HAVE WON SOMETHING AND MICROSFT KNOWS OTHERWISE. PSN in 2008 is gonna have EVERYTHING XBL does including in game XMB, PS HOME(SUCK IT XBOTS), A HUGE ONLINE MOVIE ON DEMAND ANS *MUSIC* ON DEMAND THEY SAID THAT WILL EVEN RIVAL iTUNES... AND THERE ARE ALREADY OVER 5.5 MILLION ON THE PLAYSTAOIN NETWORK EVEN BEFORE NOVEMBER HAHAHAHAHA. THERE IS SOOO MUCH MORE.... YOU GUYS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND BUT I GUARANTEE YOU FANBOTS....SONY IS LAUGHING THEIR HEADS OFF.... HALO/BIOSHOCK/MASSEFFECT/GEARS OF WAR/DEAD RISING/ EVERYTHING AND A 249$ XBOX 360(WITH WHAT U GUYS THINK IS THIS SUPERIOR ONLINE SERVICE LMAO)
COULDNT BEAT A 400$ Playstation 3 without Killzone 2, Metal Gear SOLID 4, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy 13(and Versus), 2 Rockstar Exclusives, UT3, Haze, Socom, WKS, Resistance 2, Motorstrom 2, Jak and Daxter, Infamous, Little Big Planet, Metal GEAR Online, Syphon Filter, God of War 3, Getaway, Heavy Rain, Redwood Falls, Eight Days, Afrika.

The PS3 will sale over 8 million by December 31, 2007.
The PS3 will see further Pricecuts next year.

The Playstation 3 is going to CRUSH your dreams. Because you fanboys DEFIANTELY are dreaming. Microsoft can't beat Sony and if these Worldwide sales don't tell YOU something.... you have A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Sony is laughing all the way to the bank. I GUARANTEE YOU.
