| JerzeeBalla said: In the last couple of months I have seen numerous complaints about the behavior of Sony/PS3 fans (or fanboys more specifically.) I thought about why people are so upset at Sony fans seemingly superhuman ability to ignore that its in 3rd place and continue to speak as if it is indeed winning the console war. Almost every thread I enter turns into a back and forth between a group of Sony enthusiasts, and a group of people who swear that this site is run by Sony Nazis and the mods dont care. I personally think, and this is based on no kind of factual evidence, that the behavior is irritating because the PS3 is the last place console. This kind of behavior was present last gen, just in reverse. XBox fans talked as if it was God's gift to gamers, even though it was utterly destroyed sales wise. Ditto for the Gamecube. Sony fans hated when those camps had the audacity to place their "pitiful" consoles in the same breath as the almighty PS2. Jump to this gen, and everything is switched. The Wii is crushing all comers, and the 360 is smacking Sony around in NA. Yet PS3 fans talk as if its the single most important gaming related creation ever. I think this really bothers, or annoys, a lot of people. |
I personally don't see anything wrong with being enthusiastic for a console that's in 3rd place/ has the lowest sales / failed to reach it's sales expectations. Having "the sales" decide who is "right" and who is "wrong" in being happy with their console of choice is just very sad.
To me the PS3 represents the best gaming and media services package this gen, but I do accept, that this is my personal opinion/taste and by no means "the ultimate truth". Unfortunately some people (and those are in every consoles fanbase) can't accept that. I won't go around attacking the other consoles, which all without a doubt offer a rich gaming experience this gen, and I think lowly of everyone who does.
