There are many reasons I am a self proclaimed Sony fan and there are many reasons. Some of the reasons I will outline will seem insignificant, and to most people they will be, but they became huge considerations when writing and when I considered selling my Xbox 360 just to purchase a PS4. Other reasons are reflections on Sony and the way they run their business. These reasons give me confidence in my product and its ability to provide the things I want from my console consistently. Nintendo is alright, but over the years they have made decisions that have purposefully put themselves in a different category than Sony and do not factor into my decision making as much as I might like them to. There are pros and cons to every system except for Sony's PS4 in my opinion and I will outline them the best I can in this write-up, because the Playstation 4 console itself is perfect, but there are signs in their business to make me believe that they will do everything they can to fix the mistakes of their past.
I am a trophy fanatic. In the past couple of years, I have sunk hundreds of hours in the pursuit of trophies. I love everything about them, from my PSN level, to the number of trophies I have and especially the completion of each individual game. The exotic sound of a trophy popping in the corner of my screen giving me chills to my spine is enough to make the last 10 hours I spent getting it worth while.
Playstation Plus is the subscription service offered to Playstation users. I have made the case multiple times that this is the best value in gaming history. For your money, you are given cloud memory storage, discount online products, exclusive demos, and a feature that allows you playstation to update itself at a set time when you are no longer playing. The real bonus that comes with Playstation Plus is also its biggest selling point, The Instant Game Collection.
The service provides users with about free games. At the time that I am writing this, I've spent nearly 2,000 in the playstation store alone. Some of these games will remain on the service forever, while others are phased out over time. The first question that often arises is whether or not these games will be available after they are phased out of Plus, and they absolutely are. If you have started to download a game while it was a part of playstation plus you will have access to that game as long as you are a member of playstation plus. If for any reason you stop subscribing, however you will lose access to the games.
You can’t talk about the best things of Playstation without mentioning the games. Playstation for a long time has been known their first party studios. These gaming developers are responsible for games like Knack, Drive Club and the Uncharted series. I could list each game that I love from Sony, but that would just not serve the purpose of this writing. What I want to convey about these games is the faith that Sony give me that to deliver quality games from most if not all of their studios.
What I like about Sony’s first party studios is the sense of creativity and quality that are apparent in most of their products. Anecdotally it seems that Sony has made a real effort over the course of their existence to spend a lot of money in their teams to make good games, and seldom put constraints on the developer on what they should be making. It seems obvious that Guerilla Games made the Killzone franchise to compete with Halo, but for the most part the intellectual properties that come from most Sony studios are new and fresh. They have continued to astonish me and keep me guessing for every release, and I am eagerly awaiting the next console cycle to see what kinds of new ideas will come from these people.
I love Playstation, I love people that use Playstation and I love all of the letters in Playstation, but was my decision to trade in my Xbox 360 for a PS4 tough? Absolutely not!
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'm a Sony fan because the games I prefer are always on their platform. Like for example: Guilty Gear XRD and Persona 5.
Yeah, I'm a closet weaboo.
Why I "fell in love with Sony" -> Naughty Dog.
The PS4 is great console but it is not perfect. PSN has issues, the controller battery life could be better and I personally dislike the light bar on the controller. Your obsession (love) for Sony and PS4 a company and console respectively that don't love nor know you as an individual is very strange.
Your level of fanboy is off the charts! Why limit your gaming experience to one console? Great games on all 3 consoles some I can't play on PS4? Oh well to each his own. Enjoy what portion of games you limit yourself to ! Cheers!
