Oh, Sony, you make me smile with your naivety. Do you really think that your so called 'trophies' are as revolutionary as you think? In fact, the PS3's trophy system is a close 1:1 clone of Microsoft's achievements. To explain it for the poor Nintendo only crowd out there: Achievements are a virtual reward you get for finishing developer set goals in games. With unlocking an achievement you get scorepoints that sum up with your gamerscore bound to your gamertag, your Xbox identity.
I was anxious to see how Sony would raise the achievement system on the next level. Just remember Microsoft integrated the achievement system direct from the beginning in November 2005, Sony launched the Playstation 3 a year later without some equivalent. Sony underestimated the influence of status up leveling and the showing off with it. Now we live in times of the net, times of web 2.0 and heavy social networks. Times in which people are addicted to shape their profile in the virtual realms. Achievements had an deep impact in gaming culture and Sony made the mistake to be too arrogant to realize what kind of ace Microsoft invented with this feature of their Xbox 360. Just remember that there are enough people out there buying bad games just for the sake of boosting their gamerscore up. What multiplatform game will you play, in case you have more than one console - the one that raises your score or the one that doesn't?
And now there are two kinds of PS3 games, the one that contain trophies and the ones that don't. Sure, Sony says there will be trophie updates, but really for all games out there. I bet there won't. And do addictlings have to play their already finished games a second time to get all trophies or will those be unlocked automatically? I bet they won't. And I bet all of the coming multiplatform games won't make a difference in achievements or trophies.
Hell, games were great when achievements were years away, but today that internet penis-o-meter is living and people love it. It was the logical leap for Sony (Kutaragi: "Next gen begins with us!" We see...) to rip that money printing addiction system off but since there is a gap of about 2 1/2 years people expected Sony to come with something fresh, something game changing, some kind of the next step of achievements, but Sony failed and did a simple clone with their trophies.
And fuck those platin trophies, 360 gamers know that it is often enough inhuman to unlock every fucking achievement. Some gamers have lives to live.
PS: Yeah, In-Game-XMB, welcome to 2005, Sony!

Seems like I touched a nerve there.
all i have to say is you shouldn't be aloud to have the fingers you type with because you are one of the dumbest people around, you think Sony doesn't know that their trophy system is "ripped off" from microsoft. They know, they thought it was a good idea so they used trophies. I don't know what kind of deep emotional hatred you have for Sony but if you think you had to point this out to the public you were mistaken sir, i think even retarded people are smart enough to realize what Sony did.
