Why all the hate for Sony but Love for Microsoft?

Question

Why is it that everyone seems to love Micro$oft but hate Sony. Everybody says that Sony is just money hungry and expensive and takes advantage of consumers whether it be the PS3, BlueRay, etc... It is not like Micro$oft is some little underdog company fighting the big bad Sony, I find them just as bad if not worse than Sony. Microsoft plays dirty to keep competition out of its markets and is horrible at designing consumer products. Is it really necessary for me to buy an 360, HDDVD add on, X-box live subscription, lower quality HD video and audio output, etc all separate? Yeah Sony charges 600$ for a PS3 but at least everything is built in and streamlined and top of the line in terms of audio and video, without needing giant power bricks and industrial grade ventilation systems. I'm not saying Sony is a saint, they charge me 50$ for a controller and cant give me a 2$ USB cord, but Microsoft is no better. Why is there all there this sudden love for Microsoft and hate for Sony.

Let us not forget that for the last two decades we have done nothing but hate\complain about Microsoft and its practices of crushing open source and competition. One last thing, Microsoft has been charged numerous ties with Monopoly charges in the US and Europe.

Answer 1

Also the fact that practically all 360's get the ring of death yet only 0.2% of all PS3s are faulty when usually it's 3-5% on a console. Even if you do have a faulty PS3 anyway you can just call their great customer service who'll just replace it right away. Sure it costs alot more, but it's quality straight from the box.

Answer 2

Hi Chris .I don't have issues with anyone. I am only interested in high quality sound and vision reproduction from high end amplification and projector and screen in a dedicated room.watching my favoutite movies and listening to my favourite records on a hi fi turntable. I am not interested in hooking all the other things up which could degrade the sound and vision.That's why i don't even have a Receiver and five or more speakers everywhere and a subwoofer to mess up the sound.I get the best soundstage you could ever imagine with two very accurate British loudspeakers and a Sonic Hologram Generator.

Sorry if i deviated away from your question but none of that stuff interests me. Some people say Sony amplifiers are not very good and to keep away from them. I don't know how they come to that conclusion but i suppose they can't all be wrong.

Answer 3

i admire the two Microsoft and Nintendo. yet, a lot of human beings see Wii, Wii U and the DS as kiddy consoles. i'm getting a Wii U, simply by fact Zombi U is evidence there are super person video games on an Nintendo console.

Answer 4

I don't love or hate either. Their just businesses. If I don't like a product then I don't get it, despite who made it.
