Advantages: Produced some of the best games and consoles

Disadvantages: Struggles to compete with the xbox360 in my mind

Playstation is the video games arm of Sony Entertainment and is direct competition with Microsoft. I have owned both the Playstation and Playstation 2 however reluctantly converted to Microsoft's Xbox 360 when moving from the second to third generation of gaming.

I say unfortunately because I feel ome loyalty to Sony which although hardly a fair and honest brand definitely seems the lesser of the two evils where powerful games consoles are concerned.

One of the things that I base this on is that sony provide online entertainment for free whereas microsoft charge rather a lot for it.

There is however little to persuade people to buy playstation products now since there are better games released on the xbox such as halo which is not available on playstation platforms.

Playstation have however managed to hang onto Gran Turismo which is widely regarded as the best racing game. I also still play my playstation 2 quite frequently which despite signs of its age especially in the graphics is still working great and providing me with many hours of fun. I think that this acts as a testament to the epic achievements of the Playstation brand.

Summary: A great brand that is slowly struggling to pull its massive weight of expectation
