Sorry, no. I've got nothing against Microsoft, I'd think iPods were ugly and overpriced even if nobody bought one, and if I hated Sony for being popular, I'd have to hate Nintendo's old systems too. I hate the school of thought Sony represents when it comes to videogames, and I'd see it as misguided whether they were popular or not. The fact that they currently dominate the industry is frustrating, but if I didn't have a reason not to like them in the first place I wouldn't care. Just because you can't think of a good reason not to like something doesn't mean nobody has one. As for Halo, I just can't stand the level design. I've leveled this complaint against ALL the Bungie games I've played, whether they were popular or not (Oni).
