I DID, however get swamped with "Xbox is better" people last gen, and even the smartest people I knew were all "N64 is best" type people....which was annoying as hell because I actually hated the PS1 at first and wanted an N64 instead, even then the Nintendo fanboys were annoying. Until this generation, I had never seen a sony fanboy....and I only saw sony fanboys show up AFTER the relentless attack by the microsoft fanboys, mostly as an exagerrated defense mechanism against 'haters.' It wasn't until recently I saw a lot of people really back sony and get aggressive about it, inthe formative years of the PS3, it was all defensive stuff, but now it's "Xbox has no games" and "We don't have to pay for online!". Funny how things change. |
I must admit, my fanboyism for Sony has only grown during this generation as a part of the ongoing assault from fans of the other systems. I've always liked Sony, but I enjoyed them without feeling the need to defend them before.
I'd say it's not as bad as it has been, but I still see people like sales posting youtube videos where he spends 10 minutes telling me everything that he believes is wrong with the PS3 and about 30 seconds saying what's good about the 360. I mean, I thought he was just a loyal follower, but it seemed like he was more an anti-fan of Sony than he was an actual fan of Microsoft.
And that honestly is my biggest problem with it. I really don't mind if people like 360, or Wii more - that's their choice, they're both good systems with a lot of merits. But to tell me I'm wrong for liking what I like about the PS3? It really riles me up. And I guess that's the whole point of him doing it, to get people like me (and you) frustrated. Which isn't really a very nice thing to do, but there we go.
