Sony suck.

After getting overwhelmed with proof that the Sony PS3 sucked ever since it came out, I can only come to the conclusion that… erm.. it sucks.

[rant]

What is wrong with Sony? I swear they must have a bunch of 10 years olds employed in the marketing department; they make totally ridiculas claims and fail to back them up. Everything Sony says and does just screems "WE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU, WE JUST WANT YOUR MONEY." Now, I know, I know Microsoft and Nintendo are just as greedy as Sony, but at least they can hide it.

They claim their new gaming console is "future proofed", but the way blue-ray technology is going, it looks as if blue-ray is in danger of flopping. Nobody seems to want blue-ray, and because Sony are too stupid to work out the math, they couldn't even get their hands on enough diodes to handle the launch demand.

What they don't understand is that the average customer couldn't give a shit about blue-ray, all they see it as is an unnecessary expense. Come on guys do we really need the 50GB of storage that these discs offer? It's just a waste of money. (wait another 20 years and you might actually find youself needing that much storage capacity).

What makes me laugh is that Ken Kutaragi (Sony Boss) was claiming that despite the outragiously high price of the console, they will practically sell themselves on the basis that they are offering something revelutionary to the market. Pfff… look at the sales (its real time):

Shabby. They predicted 1 million sales on launch, and the sales didn't even reach half of that.

This just goes to show that the console gaming industry is not all about fancy graphics and processing power. It is about providing consoles that are popular and people actually want to buy, at a reasonable price.

And I found this funny: (a parody adaptation of the song 'How to save a life' by The Fray) Sony - How to kill a brand

This pretty much sums up my blog entry about the PS3. BTW, just so you know, I currently don't own any of the consoles. And if you are a PS fanboi, then you can go fu..please don't hurt me. *hides behind keyboard*

I believe PS3 sold about 400,000 more units than that thing says, and also about Blu-Ray it outsold HD DVD in both players and discs by a margine of 100 to 98.71. Not a big difference because a PS3 counts as a fucking blu-ray player. Fuck Sony, MS FTW

Now…how many PS3's were sold on ebay?

"Now…how many PS3's were sold on ebay?"

Alot. But the consoles would have originally been brought from a retailer. So the sales would have still been counted.

"You think that you know best, except you didn't beta test"

That song is great, I love it. The PS3 release was really, really stupid. Same with the console itself…
