It's amazing to me. Sony has managed to do things for gamers that many people fail to give them credit for. And it all started by a "gamer oriented" company screwing them at a CES oh so many years ago.

Now, I'm not going to say PS3 is perfect, quite the opposite. But I've definately not ragging on several of the issues mentioned here because they are, simply put, pathetic.

PSX killed Saturn? How about Sega coming from 3 previous failures (Sega Game Gear, Sega CD, 32X), not even telling the US division Saturn was launching soon (literally, they knew about Saturns US launch under two months before it happened and many retailers were like "wait, where the hell did this come from?"), halfassing the 3D abilities (due to the push for 3D but Saturn trumped PSX with 2D) last minute, launching with a version of Virtua Fighter which, quite frankly, sucked worse than the 32X version, and failing to go about the simple task of advertising your own product? Sega was on the ball with Saturn in Japan, going toe to toe with PSX until the one nail drove Saturns death, FFVII. And to think, FFVII would not have been a PSX exclusive if not for the fact that, along with the Sony betrayal, Nintendo president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, publically bashed the Ultra 64 tech demo Final Fantasy 64.

And how DARE Sony push for an internet device which supported both broadband and narrowband! Seriously, you conveniently forget that part. It was both a modem and an ethernet connector. So why did Sony do such a hideous and horrible thing? One reason, really. Only about 12% of the US had access to broadband at the time. My situation was similar. If I wanted to play Xbox Live for it's first two years, it would have cost me $740 a month to bring in a compatible line. By your reasoning, Sony was ignorant and stupid to actually pay attention to me. Thanks, jerk. Nowadays, broadband is widespread and affordable but when the Playstation Network (and even Sega.net) was getting off the ground, it wasn't the case. And what did Sony give us for our trouble with buying the network adapter? A free game, Twisted Metal Black: Online and two demos. What did Microsoft give us? Two demos...

And system updates as a complaint? You're heralding 360 as awesome when all the games ship broken with a hope and promise that a patch will come along soon and make everything better? And no offense, but 360 updates right along with Wii. Your complaint here is just plain out hypocritical.
