Sony: Nintendo Handhelds Aren't for Self-Respecting Adults

I will probably never buy anything from Sony for one reason:
It tries far too hard to be top of the line, to do what everyone else already does, only better. It forgets too easily what makes games great.
I've missed some good games because of it, but I can live with that. It's also the same reason that I'm not buying a Kinect.
While neither Microsoft, nor Nintendo are entirely innocent of this, actually my faith in the entire industry has been undermined of late.
Screw it. I'm sticking to Steam and my old GBA. Nobody will tell me different.

Yes, Sony. And your motion peripheral isn't for self-respecting gamers. (I'm not a fanboy, I'm a rounded gamer.)
One does not have to support Nintendo to oppose Trenton here. There is nothing about Sony's crap that makes it any more fragrant than Nintendo's.Sir John the Net Knight said:
I want to sit both their CEOs down and say, "hey, you know what the adults are really playing games on? THEIR CELLPHONES!"
lol what?
I'm currently sitting with a DSi and a psp, the only reason I'm using the psp more right now is because I just got Duodecim. The only games I have for my psp is Dissidia, Dissidia: Duodecim, and FFT: War of the Lions.
I have something like 20 games for my DS.
On a side note: Golbez FTW!

I must agree.Joe Doran said:
Well said. Frankly I'm getting tired of seeing sony deride other people's products. They even hired a guy for that exclusive purpose. It's disgusting. If you want to counter someone else's product, just keep your mouth shut and make a better product. Talk is cheap and when you call somebody out with nothing to show for yourselves, unimpressive.BehattedWanderer said:
I'm sure I an't add much to the 300 before me, but yes, what a tool, just slamming rivals for having a wider scope and selling more, and thinking of it before Sony, who were too busy targeting the cool 18-35 demographic, forgetting that everyone outside that bracket might have cash and want to play stuff, and Nintendo will happily take their money.
Also, format is almost irrelevant, if a game does come out for PSP and DS, does it really matter which one ya have? (Yes I know the PSP is technically more advanced).
Of course this is coming from someone who had a metallic pink cellphone for a while because it was a great price for a great phone, I didn't care that I'd be using something pink, for the cash it'd be saving me.
Same deal with the DS, someone offers me a pink DS for £50 or a silver PSP for £200, I'll take the DS
