Read something at work today, this is a small quote by someone who used to work for Sony. He said, "The weakest console, is always the most popular, why that is still baffels everyone", From everything I have learned. Sony has the slowest processor, the worst graphic processor, the slowest access speeds. Come on, nintendo did [censored] with the GameCube, but its system can handle way more then the PS2, why do yout hink Cube games look almost as good as Xbox games, and PS2, just looks like PS1, except uses a DVD instead of a CD. I own all three systems, and get to play with them everyday at work. Microsoft has the most powerful system out, Nintendo is limited, but unbreakable to piracy (to-date) PS2.... uhh, quanity over quallity. The only reason Sony is still in the business is for a couple reasons. back in 1993, Nintendo and Sony create the Super Nintendo CD, to run with the Sega CD. Nintendo backs out due to console accessories don't sell well. Sony purposes the dolphin with nintendo. developement of the dolphin is worked on. (yes it was created, we have a few at work they run PS1 games. Sony, wanted 60% of the profit for the systems and a royalty of 20% of the games, nintendo only makes 15% percent. Nintendo says no, negotions are soon dropped by Nintendo. Nintendo drops the dolphin and sells it to Sony. Sony, revamps the almost complete system. Naming it the Playstation. Nintendo starts over and creates the Nintendo 64. Bet you all didn't know that. Sony got into the market using Nintendo's technology with their semiconductors and optical drives. Other then that nothing. over the past years, sony has learned to develope their own, and now they have a PS2 based on PS1 with slight improvement. Well, with the nintendo having the customer base, Sony deciedes to take Nintendo's main developer, Square Soft, (aka Square Inc, Square Enix-to-date). Sony locks Square Soft into the PS1 and PC market only. Developement of FF7 is stopped for 4 months. It is reopened and converted to PS1 compatibility. Cinemactics added to the game to further the story. (forgot something, the dolphin is nintendo's codename for their systems, nintendo64 and the cube were both code named dolphin, Nintendo64 was also almost named Ultra64, we have one of those too, just has different stickers on it, and box print). Back to Square, Sony, Nintendo. Nintendo lost is main developer, Sony's system takes off, flocks of developers flood to sony, as they all know Square is where its at. Nintendo loses hundreds of developes to Sony. A few years later Square Inc Merges With Enix, the merger was done to rekindle a friendship between two lost friends who ran both business. The merger takes Sony under 50% of Square Enix. Square, purposes deals with Nintendo, for 7 Games, Sword Of Mana, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Kindgom Hearts, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals, and a few games in the testing area I can't speak of, none have been released to the public. Square Enix sent a memo, to nintendo that read a little like this. Complications due to Sony's dominence of the company has made Square Enix over the past years unable to create the games Nintendo customers have grown to love. In the next few months, we have a number of games proposed for the Nintendo GameCube, and the Game Boy Advance hand held system. Nintendo locked them in a 20 game contract. Square eager to do it signed it, and it was done. Nintendo is still looking into buying stock in Square Enix, in order to get some of the voting rights.
Now when you think Sony is better, you should look at the history between Sony and its competitors, and why everything thinks they are better. I know all of that didn't have a lot to do with why sony is better or not, and yes, its your opinion, but please base it on history not, well, i like 5 games on my PS2, and I have played halo on xbox, and nothing on the cube. Well [censored] that isn't an opinion. (this isn't directed at any one person, but those who base their opinion on their lack of knowledge for the gaming industry).
My Personal opinion. Xbox, very smooth graphics, they should be number one. (but they aren't!) Nintendo, they did themselves wrong with the indigo purple [censored], and no movie play capabilites, Sony, they have mass games, backwards compatible, good stuff!, thats what makes the GBA (game boy advance). With the new Nintendo DS (codename) it will make Sony piss down both pants, having to compete with the DS, and the GBA, not good. 30 Developers were interviewed, 93.3 percent of them, were eager to see it, and were already thinking of games to use the technology. Some of those include, EA, Square, Rare (now microsoft owned), Sega, Koei, and many others. Hell even the makers of Metal Gear Solid want to get into it. Hell they just redid MGS1 and implemented all the goodies from MGS2 and put them in the first one. Kick ass game!!! way better then the ones on PS.
Now, just so you all know if I spelled something, or bad grammer, read my sig, and then, get over it. And, I won't reply to your PMs, but none here. I have said what I want, and provided something to base your opinions on instead of the 5 PS2 games you have and the 10 you had for PS1.
