Sony
Sony (also known as Snoy, Soyny, Goyny, etc.) is a large Japanese conglomerate known best known for their consumer electronics. While they used to dominate the market with their televisions, mobile phones, laptops, and personal music players, even gaining a reputation similar to that of Apple among normies and consoomers, their market share has been greatly eroded by their Chinese and Korean competitors. Nowadays, the only things they are known for are DSLR cameras and the PlayStation.
PlayStation
History of the PlayStation
Sometime in 1991 Sony decided to link up with Nintendo to make some gay CD add-on for the Super Nintendo that no one cares about. However, the next day Nintendie BTFOd them by deciding to collab with Phillips instead, which lead to gemeralds such as Hotel Mario and Link: The Faces of Evil. Mindbroken by this, a group of seething pisscels decided to make their own gaming console called the PlayStation.
Despite no one actually believing in it, the PlayStation managed to become a smash success, although this is mainly because Sega was too busy suffering from gay internal politics (mostly Japs who were mindbroken that gaijin Amerimutts were coming up with better ideas than they were) and ended up releasing the Sega Saturn, a brimstone so dark it nearly killed Sega for good while Nintendo took two more years to release the Nintendo 64, a console nobody wanted to make games for due to Nintendo being kikes who didn't want to pay licensing fees for CDs. Of course, great successes tend to ask for sequels, and in 2000, Sony released the PlayStation 2. Although the PS2 was quite a piece of shit technically, even being beaten by the Dreamcast in some aspects, it still sold millions of units due to normalfags wanting to buy DVD players at a cheap price. Because of this, many developers ended up releasing tons of gemmy games for the system, such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Shadow of the Colossus, even though they really didn't want to because the console was a massive bitch to develop for.
In 2006, Sony released the PlayStation 3. Mindbroken by how shitty their consoles were compared to the competition, they built their console using a brand new architecture called Cell that would TRULY give them the throne of the most powerful console manufacturers. Unfortunately, the Cell architecture proved difficult for most developers, and even worse, developers realized they didn't like making games for PlayStations and fucked off to make games for the Wii and Xbox 360, and whatever PS3 ports that did release were fucking horrible. To add insult to injury, Sony decided it would be a great idea to price their console at 600 dollars, hoping enough retards would pony up the cash to watch Blu-Rays (a format that was in the middle of its own war against HD-DVD) and play badly converted games from the PC and Xbox 360. Unsurprisingly, not many people were interested except for a few autists like Chris Chan and Chad Warden. In the words of the then head of Xbox, Peter Moore, "For less than the cost of a PS3, you can purchase an Xbox 360 and Wii, which you will enjoy a lot more." The PS3 did manage to recover, thanks to reduced pricing, a new marketing campaign, and improved developer tools, but only barely outsold the Xbox 360 (due to Japs not appreciating American excellence) and had a considerably lower attach rate than said console.
In 2013, Sony released the PlayStation 4. Much like the PSX and the PS2, this console was a smash success, and much like those consoles it mainly succeeded due to their competitors being absolute retards. This time, Microsoft fucked up with the Xbox One, releasing a ginormous, hideous box that let you own nothing and datamined you using their brand new Kinect. You were also forced to be connected to the internet at all times as well. While the average consoomer in current year would probably not bat an eye to such tactics, in 2013 they were a little bit more sane and did not receive the Xbox One warmly. This horrific launch irreversibly damaged the Xbox brand, leading to Sony becoming the permanent market leader in the console space. The future of the Xbox brand is in jeopardy, with Microsoft considering exiting the console business altogether. PS4 wins against Xbox One cuz PS4 has the PSVR.
In 2020, Sony released the PlayStation 5. Despite the fact no one had one as no one could get one due to the pandemic, it was somehow the hottest selling gadget of holiday 2020.
Sony's Handheld Efforts
In 2004, Sony released the PlayStation Portable, which had graphics that rivaled the PS2 and even got ports of many PS2 games (even though most of them were shit and poorly optimized). Despite Nintendies being unable to handle the fact that someone else can release a successful vidya handheld, the PSP was a great success and sold millions of units. It also had actual good games on it unlike the DS which just had 'slop for normies like Nintendogs, Brain Age and New Super Mario Bros.
In 2012, Sony released the PlayStation Vita, which was also pretty cool but bombed because 1. Sony stopped caring about it after a year in and 2. They wanted everyone to buy their shitty proprietary memory cards in order to use the device.
PlayStation exclusives
According to most soyboys, the average PlayStation exclusive is a bone-chilling, spine-tingling, emotionally-moving character-driven interactive experience that's truly art in of itself. In reality, most PlayStation exclusives are badly made games with cliched writing, plotholes, and characters who exist to be emasculated by POCs and/or the writer's self-inserts. The majority of the gameplay consists of the player being forced to slowly walk through landscapes, usually while some retarded NPC yaps on and on about shit no one cares about. Whenever you actually DO get to play the game, the gameplay consists of the most boring, mind-numbing action imaginable, usually in the name of making the game more "cinematic." Difficulty is non-existent, in fact the average PlayStation developer likes to use geniuses such as DSP as a frame of reference for designing their games.[1]
Despite all of the above being obvious to anyone who has more than a couple of brain cells, PlayStation fans will fight tooth and nail to defend these "games". The writing isn't cheap, it's a witty yet tear-jerking story that always keeps you on your toes. The games are easy and barely contain any gameplay, yeah so what? It's called being accessible, not everyone can spend time to play a game that actually makes you think, just think about all the soyboys who spend day and night working in their wage cage, only to get back to their pod-sized apartment in the big city! You'd think these people would just go watch a movie instead since that's what they want to do so badly, but they don't for reasons that are beyond any comprehension.
There are a select few PlayStation exclusives that don't fit this label (see Gravity Rush and Dreams), but these games get little marketing from Sony and thus remain fairly obscure.
Console Warring
The fight over which video game box is the best is one that has been fought in many school cafeterias over the years. Back in the day these fights actually made sense, no two consoles were built alike and they had a library of games that were unique to it. However, these fights make little to no sense in today's world, where every console is just a shitty, gimped PC that plays 99% of the exact same games with similar performance. Even then, the average console gamer only plays a small selection of games, being Fortnite, GTA, sports games, and sometimes Minecraft and Call of Duty. Despite this, manchildren insist on keeping these dumb, petty fights alive, likely as a vain attempt to relive their childhood, autistically gloating whenever Soyny gets a new timed exclusive and having a meltdown whenever said timed exclusively inevitably gets ported to Windows. Contrary to what they'd tell you, the average Xbox fan does not give a single fuck about whatever gay exclusive PlayStation just got and are more than happy playing the same five games on their devices.
