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

you drive a good point. but for me it's never been about who's in first, secound, or third. because PC's is killing us all. PC wins every gen. PC was the first to game and will be the last, but back to your point. PS3 might win and most gamers, analist, and publishers (EA/activion)beleave it will. as for fanboys! why even get into that? PS3 might win but it won't make a difference because when it does PS4, Wii2/hd, and xbox whatever will already be out and there will be a thread saying PS3 win's the 7th gen war in the middle of the 8th gen war. or PS3 win's in 2016: take your pick?

I think 360 sales are higher mainly because people bought multiple 360's...it's only 150-200 to replace if you buy an arcade 360 which was a genius move by microsoft who probably anticipated the 360's breaking and knew they needed to offer a cheaper replacement model


Ive owned a 360 since early 2006 and never bought a replacement, why would anyone spend 200 dollars when microsoft fixes/replaces it for free?



PS3 has the best games. That's all that counts.



I just want to thank everyone who actually took the time to read my OP and answer my question. Those who see I was not "bashing the PS3" or any of that crap I have seen thrown my way. Why would I bash my favorite console?

I have seen some people give me insight as to why things are the way they are on this site, so I thank you for that. I have seen others simply give the haters more ammo, and that makes me sad. Either way, it is what it is. If some of you want to lump me in with the "PS3 haters" then feel free. Ill let my posting speak for itself.



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.

1. If you honestly have been reading the forum posts recently, it's the winning consoles fanbase that was creating the most problems

2. With a 1.5 year late start, the ps3 is the one that is kicking the the butt of it's HD competition as of now, which is now hoping for the slim version and Natal to be their savior or something (which I might add, might as well be)

So it's opinion, the only reason why ppl whine about ps3 fanboys being the worst is because most of the time these days, ps3 seem to have the best games imo....

1.  False

2.  Selling 30-40k more than your competition having cut your price by $100, released a new form factor and supposedly having a superior library is pretty poor and certainly not "kicking the butt". I'll remind you its still over 5 million behind and that gap is closing very very slowly and actually growing in the US. 

People wouldn't have an issue with PS3 fanboys if they stuck to their own forum on here generally.  The issue is their insistance on wrecking threads all over the site.  It's not hard, if your not interested in something then just stay away and don't post.  I know that there is so much bullshit FUD posted in the Sony forums on here so I generally don't read it anymore, no need to argue with those in complete and utter brainwashed denial imo.

1. It's all a matter of opinion so both of you get over it.

2. Currently, the PS3 is kicking the 360's butt in a number of ways such as worldwide higher demand (just pointing out NA and ignoring the rest of the world is a VERY revealing tactic), better built hardware, and quality and quantity 1st/2nd party software selection.

And fanboys of other console do not troll the PS forums...???  You have to be VERY one-sided to not realize this and to actually think (being delusional) that they are only ones to spread FUD.  That's very revealing as well.  Go figure.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

Internet Forums =/= Sales

Basically, what I am meaning by that is that most people who are gamers don't frequent video game websites. Generally each website has its own bias and this site seems to just happen to have PS3 fans. Looking at really old threads, it used to be 360 fans that owned this site.

Most of the xbox 360 fans left the site due to the overabundance of PS3 fans giving them a lot of bullshit to deal with. The Nintendo fans are still here, and quite prominent. If you make the wrong statement in a Nintendo thread, generally, only 1 person will tell you that you're wrong and will destroy you.

Are you reffering to me I kid I kid, I destroy anyone with a stupid statement no matter the type of thread LOL

Honestly you hit the nail on the head, this used to be a pretty pro Nintendo site with a ton of Nintendo fans soaking up the sales discussions cause it was awesome party time cause all the fans were fans since they were kids and this was the first gen in a while that Nintendo has been on top. 

Then it became obvious that the sales wouldn't stop, it cemented it's place as number 1, the discussions of PS3 somehow beating Wii were just proven wrong day in and day out because it was a mathmatical impossibility unless one console just stopped selling period and the other spiked like no console has ever done.

This in turn made things become redundant, many Nintendo fans left because it got boring.

Come in the new PS3 surge.  Many PS3 fans jumped on board because guess what! The PS3 is a moving and a shaking up the charts!  And it's well deserved despite the rocky start.  So of course PS3 fans want to visit the site and see the new software data and console sales, I think they take every little battle as a victory in some way, so sales are very interesting to them, when for others its kinda like "oh Halo sold a million?  Who woulda guessed?"  "Wii is still killing everyone in software?  Yeah same old song and dance since release". 

Believe it or not it's just because of entertainment, nerds like discussing their nerdy things, if something they like is doing well even if it's getting literally killed in comparison to something else, they're gonna cheer.  Hell I'd be lying if I didn't go FUCK YES when Mother 3 ended up on a few of the top games of the decade lists, sure it's killed in sales, it's killed in fanbase size, it's killed (in english) by its own company lol, but man do I love seeing other people enjoying something I flat out love.

So in short, yeah PS3 fans are praising right now, cause a lot moved to the site in 2008, now there's a lot of little battles being won, things are exciting again.

On a side note, I wish members on all sides would calm down on the whole "my game is better than your game" thing... it's really useless lol and probably the biggest thing that drives other members crazy and keeps our community from being as welcoming as it should be.

You are the man.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy that happens to own a enjoy PS3 games. I have even bought a new PS2, I wanted to get a new one b4 they stop making them, hey it's gatta be someday soon right? =0). Anyways.

Please PS3 fan. Be happy about your system, it really is great but also stop with this PS3 has better games BS. Thats what pisses me off the most. Please undestand that a lot of people have diffrent tastes. I'm as hardcore a game as there is and i hate UC2, Heavy Rain, GT series, ext...I'm ok with GoW, but I'm not paying $60 for it and I guess FF stuff is ok, ok at best. Point is my PS3 games are MLB10, Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles and stuff like that. But I enojoy the Wii games more. Monster Hunter Tri is SICK!

So anwways I guess my point is NO the PS3 DOES NOT have the best games. The 360 does not have the best game and the Wii does not have the best games. It all goes by the individual.

I know this is a Sony bashing thread but the hypocrisy in your post is deplorable.

LOL what?  This isn't a bashing thread, not really sure what gave you that idea, honestly its more or less a discussion of the community and how social groups of gamers act.  If this was a bashing thread I would have already locked it or moderated anyone that bashed Sony. 

Basically don't start anything, especially since this thread has been going rather smoothly, there's no reason to start fights now.

Of course it's a Sony bashing thread. Some people seem to believe that the claiming of ps3 games being superior to all other games is the exclusive domain of sony fanboys. The implicit message being that the ps3 fan base is somehow more contemptable than either the 360 or wii fan base. Really, people need to stop being so blind by only focusing on the fan base that ISN'T associated with their console of choice/preference. 

 

 

I have not read through all the posts in this thread. But please read mine again. I have in no way bashed the PS3. I only stated that I like Wii games better. How dar I say the Wii has better games than the PS3 right?

"I'm a Nintendo fanboy that happens to own a enjoy PS3 games"

"The 360 does not have the best game and the Wii does not have the best games. It all goes by the individual."



most people will say this or that group is responsible. But the reason for that is that there are groups that support each console that are responsible for it. It's just the way it is. It's not one particular group but rather 3.
