Fuck Sony
PS1 - Was lame even back then, "we're hip and cool gaming" it's all style over substance. Be honest, who replays any of that?
PS2 - Was awesome but it seems that it's more a product of the dvd expanding gaming than just the console itself as it's mainly 3rd party games that could be replayed for enjoyment
PS3 - Back to trash, with shitty games for years before it got a handful which won't be replayed in 20 years because it's all press x to awesome and once the graphics fade it isn't awesome any more
PS4 - just another sign of the end of days, lack luster games, yet the public flocks to it as if brainwashed

I liked PS1 more than PS2. I thought PS2 was the biggest piece of shit, technologically, that I'd seen relative to hype; its image quality (res, textures) is worse than the Dreamcast's. It was demolished by Xbox in a way that made the tech gap look generational; I remember Itagaki claimed a 500 percent hardware gap (half gen). In some games, it looks like he underestimated.
The PlayStation was awesome in 1995. What makes it unplayable is the early 3D tech of both it and the Saturn. Just hideous.
N64 solved most of that. But the low res textures and fogging from the lack of microcode access (and rambus ram) kill a huge number of games.
Sony is Naughty Dog: Crash Bandicoot is a great platforming GAME, Uncharted is a walking sim with "narrative" set pieces.

I hated the playstation
things like wipeout and tomb raider were on pc, and the whole "gaming is for losers in dark bedrooms, we're cool and fresh play us" marketing it had going always made it seem more pathetic than even sega's worst
edit I just noticed you think crash bandicoot was a great game, we aren't ever going to see eye to eye on this
