Sony is worthless.

Ok, we usually try to stay out of the fanboy pits of hell, but a lot of shit-talking has been circulating the various blogs recently, and they pretty much all say the same thing:  Sony is worthless.

First, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg called Sony out, and I must say we have to applaud him on that one.  If you take off your PS3 goggles, read what he says, and just look at the facts, it's hard to deny the truth.

And now there is a comparison video for GRID vs. Gran Turismo Prologue (embedded below).  Of course, most will say that this is an unfair comparison because after all, Gran Turismo Prologue is a demo, right?  Well, yes, and no.  Here is the problem:  Sony has had 2 years to put out something decent for the PS3, and they basically haven't.  In the same timespan, Microsoft has released Gears of War, Halo 3, Forza 2, and are now working on releasing the next round of true juggernaut titles, while still managing to make Xbox Live! a better service every single year.

In the meantime, PS3 owners aren't really left with anything but a few decent games, and a whole lot of bullshit.  Sony continually promises gamers the world, yet delivers moldy cheese.  Yes, we know Ratchet and Clank was good, yes we know Uncharted was decent, but that isn't the point.  The point is that Sony doesn't deliver on any of its promises, and that pisses us off.

 

Lying Douche.

 

Ever since the PS3's initial specifications were released, Sony has been lying to gamers.  What about all the Killzone footage that turned out to be pre-rendered?  It's two years later and still no Home?  How about a decent friend's list implementation?  No, you get nothing.  Even if it is an unfair comparison, when we saw the humorous video below it just reminded us about how pissed we were to have a $600 Blu-ray player.  Watch the video.  As funny (and possibly unfair) as it is, it really does put things in perspective.  I mean keep in mind, Sony has been working on the next version of Gran Turismo for years.  Watch the crash and pee your pants with laughter.  Of course Sony says they might eventually get around to implementing true deformation physics.  Yeah... don't hold your breath.

Sony should stop snow-jobbing gamers and actually get off their ass.  We've already stated that there is a lot riding on MGS4, but we have to re-iterate:  Sony, put up or shut up.

You sound like the average troll from an internetforum. Comments like "Sony get your act together" are just plain stupid. If you would want to you could find false statements and PR BS from every company but you decided to take your wrath combined with your creative energy to the former champion. I know it's always funny to spit on the big ones when they fall. It makes your life seem bigger but it also shows how meaningless it is.

LOL, sounds like we aren't the only ones bitter about the PS3 being a $600 paper weight. Even though Sony is an easy target, we don't write these things to pick on them. We write them so that they might be inspired to develop something worthwhile again...

Sony may be worthless. But, Microsoft like usual is the classless bragger and gloater. I've also read an interview where they totally trashed the PSP.

They do this all the time with their competition. Whether it is with Sony now. Or with Apple

as well. I know other companies do it as well. But, Microsoft is usually the most obnoxious and most publically vocal.

Well, at least the iPod is something they can't stop. And, they have numerous problems regarding Vista and how many people can't stand it.

And, I'm glad that they were unable to forcibly buy Yahoo.

Microsoft's search engine is horrible. So, like their typical manner of operation. The next best thing for them is to try and buyout someone who does it better. Plus, they can't stand that not only Yahoo...but obviously Google is way better than them.

So, in the end Sony is worthless. But, MS is classless as usual. A company that is having problems and bad pr with it's Vista system...and one that simply loves throwing money around to try and monopolize most everything. Guess they must be proud of their 360 though. hehe

Grid does look a whole lot more exciting than GT5. It probably is.
