Why do people hate Sony so much?

Sony has done a lot for gamers, probably more then Nintendo

No.

Oh c'mon roto There's no doubt the gaming industry owes a whooole lot to Nintendo, I mean it most likely wouldn't exist at all without them. But in my opinion it is because of Sony that it expanded to what it is now. Without the playstation, I dunno...

Without the PlayStation the gaming industry would still exist. Without Nintendo, it very well might not.

I knooow that I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't deserve more credit, but Sony has credit due as well. I think Sony is the one that changed gaming's image and made it what it is now. Without that, as systems continued on and on, and development costs continued to grow... Nintendo could have faced exactly what Sega did with the Dreamcast and had a system that failed to keep up in sales.

I think without either of them the whole thing would be gone.
