Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3, The Loser That The Fans Think Is Winning.

Excuse the thread title, I couldnt get what the topic is into words. 

My question is this. I have been registered here for a while now, but this is my first (and probably last) thread. 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. Can anyone confirm this for me? Or tell me I am very stupid if thats the case? I just want to understand why everything that goes wrong on this board is blamed on Sony fans/fanboys. Are they the cause of every thread derailment? Are they the only ones trolling? The only ones creating threads designed to start trouble? I just want to make sense of what I am reading.



I am a gamer. Not a fanboy, not a troll, a gamer. So when you dont like what I have to say, remember this fact.

welcome to video games, where people spend more time defending their allegiance to a system instead of you know...actually just playing games



Well I think Sony Lovers have more of a case for it as Sony and Xbox 360 is close WW. And atleast in the future has a chance to pass Xbox 360 WW. Whereas PS2 and XBox was not close.
The Wii, is like last Gen's PS2 in dominance.

But I think the case is that's videogames, since there was more than one console out at once.



I think it's true, partially at least. In any case, I find overzealous console fans annoying and right now on VGC, PS3 fans are the most zealous of the lot, and some times it's just too much.

i think your missing the point.

wii is selling more than ps3, but ps3 has better games and is a better console.

if you prefer better sales fair enough, most on here prefer better games.

the best console is the one that gives the gamer the best games and best features, games are kinda comparable on ps360 and features wise ps3 is better, but i think overall ps3 will have the better games this gen.

judging from your post your obviously a little hurt!

Ps3 would be in second no scratch that 1st (because I consider Wii last Gen gaming)

if people didn't have to buy at least 2 consoles thanks to the RROD . I went through

3 xbox 360s and still have my 1 and only Backwards Compatible PS3 so don't you

tell me nothing.   



Don't you know I'll rape you!!

You either havn't seen 360/Wii fans troll sony thread(specially PSmove threads) or you only have problems when ps3 fans are trolling not when wii/360 fans do it.
