The Sony PlayStation is, without a doubt, the most overrated gaming
system ever. There have been majorly hyped systems in the
past; most notably the Nintendo64. But that system did indeed live up
to its hype, and in fact surpassed everyone's expectations.
The PSX [I will call it PSX because I refuse to use Sony's own
ego-feeding name] was described as the best 32-bit system on the
market, and indeed it does fare better than most. The 3DO is poor
competition, as is Atari's laughable [very laughable, in fact]
Jaguar. But sadly, people have overlooked the best 32-bit system on
the market, often dismissing it as a failure. I am speaking, of
course, of Sega's Saturn, the clear loser in the console wars ... or
so it appears right now. Although I no longer harbor much hope
[well, actually, no hope] that the Saturn will regain its rightful
place as 32-bit king, I am disappointed when people who have never
tried it speak of it in the same tone of voice they usually reserve
for a garden hose [or Trip Hawkins]. It's people like that who give
gamers a bad name [them and anyone who worked for Studio 3DO].
The most common argument in favor of the PSX is that it has a huge
library of games; and that can't be disputed. It does have the
most games, by far, of the Big Three right now, but at the same time
this is also a bad thing. Sure, Saturn doesn't have as many
games, but on the other hand the ones they do have are usually better.
And Nintendo seems to have a similar ideal in mind. So what
it comes down to is, the PSX has more bad games, and thus a lower
ratio of good games to overall. So what would you rather have -
plenty of good games or a surplus of bad ones? Apparently, the average
American consumer is inclined towards the latter. Well, I
guess that's not surprising, considering that this is the country that
made baseball the national pastime. I can certainly think of
something better to do with my spare time, can't you? Who cares about
sports?

Sony Computer Entertainment [see below] has one major flaw in their
policy - they don't make games. Now, you would kind of
expect that a huge monstrosity of an electronics company would have
the ability to slap together a couple of R&D teams, huh?
Apparently not. All they can show for themselves is the wonderful
example of gaming bliss, the epitome of 32-bit, the
dear-lord-this-is-why-I-bought-the-PSX game, Crash Bandicoot. YEAH! Oh
man, there's nothing better in life than running around in
semi-3D as a ... bandicoot [uh huh], while getting hit by rocks and
jumping over pits. If I wanted to do this, I'd play Super Mario Bros.
You play Crash. I'd probably have more fun.

Now, this isn't to say that all PSX games are bad. There're a few
incredible games [or so I've heard] that utilize the capabilities -
most notably Resident Evil and Wipeout XL. I will grant you that those
games kick butt, as do a few others, but at the same time the
PSX will never have the potential of the Saturn because of two words:
"Sega R&D." They're not really words, but any gamer can
understand the power of them. These guys are responsible for some of
the best arcade games ever - Daytona, Rally, GunBlade,
Virtual On, and the VF's. They know what they're doing, and they
definitely know how to make a game fun. PSX supporters always
reply to this argument with, "But we have Namco!" Well, think about
this. Yeah, you have Namco. An independent company. An
independent company that can make games for anyone, not only PSX. In
fact, even they are starting to look at N64 publishing. So
you know what? All of Sony's exclusives, the Tekkens, Ridge Racers,
and Time Crises, could be gone just like that [make the
snapping fingers noise, come on]. And then you'd be left with a unique
item - the only game system ever that can't do the color
orange. "What?" cry the PSX enthusiasts, flabbergasted or something
like that? Yeah, that's right. No orange. Think about it.
Tekken's collisions - the fireballs - go red to yellosw, with no
orange. Twisted Metal's cars don't have orange on them - it comes out
as a sick green. And remember the great colors of Crash Bandicoot? In
the drawings he's orange; in the game he's dark red. In the
words of so many homies, "drat!"

What SCE really stands for

Some Crappy Entertainment
Sony's Cancerous Eyesore
Small Country's Expenses
Smokin' Charcoal Everywhere
System Control Error
Syndicated Crack Elephants
Single-Cerebellum Eruption
Stinking Chili [nothing fits here!]
