He hated the Playstation because it wasn't Nintendo, also because he couldn't afford it. But I don't think he's played a lot of games. Gaming has always been a pricey hobby, even when it was cheaper, and I can see Bob's family supporting three children not wanting to spend money on NES and SNES games outside of maybe one or two at Christmas and birthdays. He probably had ten or so games total in his library and for the rest, he's basing his assumptions on the cartoons, articles he read in Nintendo Power back in the day, and maybe watching some videos on youtube.Y'know, Bob's hatred for Playstation is more subdued but I do remember he hated the PS3 and said the first two were flukes. Do you think he views Crash Bandicoot in a negative light? Bob always come off to me as the classic Nintendo fan-turned-vidya critic: he's played a lot of games, but isnt "well-read" on games. A lot of Nintendo fans have never played Crash, Spyro, Thief, Rayman, Final Fantasy, Halo, Timesplitters, Beyond Good & Evil, Uncharted, Jak, Ratchet, GoW, Prince of Persia or really anything with a cult following from either PCs or competing consoles. So their experience of other genres of game is very limited
If you bought Bob a PS5, some games, and a decent TV, he'd probably refuse to play them after a few hours once he realized just how wrong he was about all his takes. Or he'd pretend he never said that shit. He'd probably love Ratchet & Clank if he gave it a shot since the games are bright and colorful, and feature a world where one corporation has a complete monopoly over everything.
Also, I hate to be this guy, but Rayman, Timesplitters, and Beyond Good & Evil were all on Nintendo consoles.
