Why Sony PlayStation might be annoying:

    It was initially developed by Sony for a CD-ROM add-on to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
    When Sony asked for 25% of the profits from the games and the sale of the device, Nintendo abandoned them and Sony developed it alone.
    Nintendo then sued PlayStation for breach of contract (Nintendo lost).
    They opted not to have the traditional lettered controllers, instead opting for geometric shapes.
    On the system's ten year anniversary, Sony aired an ad in Italy depicting Jesus with a crown of thorns made of the controller's buttons smiling with the tagline, 'Ten Years of Passion.'

Why Sony PlayStation might not be annoying:

    It sold over 100 million units, making it the best-selling console of all time.
    It has the biggest gaming library of any console ever made.
    Many RPG developers jumped from Nintendo to PlayStation after being limited by content restrictions. The result is some of the best RPG's ever made.
