I'll keep it short.

The Playstation (PSX)

This is a genuine classic console.It redefined gaming,and introduced a whole new genre of games.It deserved its success. The controller at the time was awesome,and playing wipeout with it is a fond memory of mine.An endless catalogue of games make this console possibly the most loved console ever released. (if it had mario it would've gained legendary status)

The Playstation 2

Following on from the awesome success of its predecessor,the PS2 didnt have much to worry about.Amazing graphics,DVD playing capabilities,and a resounding 'cool factor' meant the PS2 was arguably even more popular than PS1.Metal gear solid 2 literally wow'd gamers with its gfx,and GTA3 and Vice city as long time exclusives destroyed the competition.PS2 was a juggernaut,and nothing could stop it.Again,another much loved classic console.

The Playstation 3.

Even after the huge success of the PS2,there was always something iffy about the PS3 in previews.It was strange then,but clear looking back.

XBOX. I bet Sony hates that name.The initial release of XBOX,did actually steal some of sony's thunder,even if its ps2 was untouchable at the time.See,what happened was the ps2 market was saturated with copy cat shovelware games,and thats great for the casuals and families.But for a while,sony took there eye off the core gamers,and microsoft took most of them in one swoop with there much more poweful xbox,and some killer games with killer graphics.Halo and PGR need no mention.Also notable and a first for consoles,was an internal HDD.We could even rip CD's!! We had custom soundtracks!! We had better gfx,loading times....better everything really.Not to mention LIVE which completely revolutionised online multiplayer on consoles.

So...................Fast forward to PS3. They gave us an internal HDD,cool. But Microsoft already had a cooler feature where you could take your HDD anywhere,even connect it to your mates 360. If you tried that on PS3,you would have to format the HDD,not cool.

Sony added a bluray player,Great!! Except it hiked up the cost and a PS3 would set you back at least £425! AT LEAST!! To add to the insult of the price,we got a lovely composite cable in the box,thanks sony.
But it certainly doesnt stop there,said bluray player is so slow,you have FORCED game installs,because the drive cant read the disc fast enough.So after getting home with a game you've just bought,you might as well load it up and head on out for a few beers, and it might be done when you get back.

-No rumble until late on
-Controller design same as PS1 except with lousy 'pressure sensitive' buttons which btw,are useless.
-Launch console is the worst looking console ever.Huge,heavier than my PC in fact.
-Worst AD campaign ever
-Oh yh the triggers on the controller............lol

I could go on and on tbh.Sure microsoft have made mistakes(RROD anyone?) But on the whole,Sony have lost the foothold they had.Absolutely shockingly bad advertising,coupled with poor multiplat ports and a general lack of direction are literally killing sony atm. PSvita? Where are sony? What are they doing? I dont even think they know. I'll post more when my brain gets in gear again.

No this is certainly not a hate thread.PS1,PS2,DC,GC and Xbox is my favourite time in my gaming life.The first game i played was chuckie egg on an Amstrad CPC-464,and yes,i had a green screen

Im just pointing out some of the mistakes sony have made,and continue to make.

If it comes to that i'll request a lock tbh.Im 29,mature,and could do without noobs and fanboys spamming my threads.

Yh i agree the exclusives are decent,if a bit over-rated.

Killzone 2 was like trying to control a drunk person with a gun.

Motorstorm......fun for 30mins?

Gran Turismo 5......Just fail all round,which is a pity because i rate GT4 as one of the best racing/driving games ever made.

God of war....Ok ill let them off.

Heavenly sword.....Honestly,this is one of the worst games ever made.

Demons Souls-Great game.

Now for the controversial,i honestly think the uncharted games are pure garbage.The first game was basically a rip-off of tomb raider,with nice colours,and the second game i couldnt even play. Reasons?

-Why does he bob his head around like hes having a fit when you run forward?
-Why is the animation running upstairs/downstairs just like crash bandicoot on PS1?
-Why is it so generic and predictable?
-Am i the only one in the world that can see this is a rubbish game? (particularly uncharted 2)
