@Danne I just went by the "team" threads. Nintendo had the largest one. They are pretty close though.

That could simply mean that Nintendo fans are more active/more prone to make threads. I mean, spurgeryan and NintendoPie ARE in fact Nintendo fans ^^ Them two alone covers half of every post here on VGC XD


I meant the actual roster size :p. Either way this was more targetted towards the Microsoft camp anyway.

huh, didn't know that :P hiw do you look that up? But it onbly re-enforces what I said earlier; sony fans are more vocal (so it seems like they are over represented)

 

Just go into the threads and look at the list of people in each one. Unless the Nintendo thread took the roster out of it, i'm not sure. I don't know about being more vocal. I think it just seems like Sony fans are more vocal.

The reason I say this is because Sony is kind of in the middle between the other two. Nintendo and Sony are closer than Nintendo and Microsoft, so the two will more likely overlap when it comes to topics. The same is true the other way, Sony and Microsoft are closer than Nintendo and Microsoft. Since the libraries are closer as well, there's more of a chance you will get a Sony fan comparing the Playstation library to the Xbox library than you will a Nintendo fan comparing Nintendos library to the Xbox's library.

I think any amount of fanboyism drives people to dislike/be pessimistic about their rival. Between the big 3 Sony is the closest rival Nintendo has and at the same time the closest rival Microsoft has.

Seriously, are Microsoft fans admitting that the majority of the Microsoft fanbase is full of casuals?


This thread is about putting words in our mouths now? Wow.... We are the minority. Ninty are just a more peaceful bunch than Sony fans on this site. Sony is without a doubt the least company that takes hits on this site yet are the company in the worst shape financially.


well, 2+2 = 4.

I'm not insulting anyone, simply saying what i've heard Microsoft fans say before.


Sony is in a terrible financial position, they've said they don't plan on launching with a large loss, PS4 will be $599.

2+2=4.


I'm simply stating what Microsoft fans have said, you are the one making things up.


If anything, you are. Sony ARE in a poor financial situation.... and

What does that have to do with anything though? I'm talking about what Microsoft fans say on this site and others.

I didn't literally mean making things up I meant bringing things up out of nowhere. What does Sony not planning a major loss with the launch of the PS4 have to do with the topic?



Everytime i say the xbone is screwed and I show all the gaming sites I know pooping on it, people answer "But this site is pro-S"
And well, after some research, every site does seem to be pro-sony.

By the way we are currently flooding twitter with #ps4nodrm

I'll go ahead and say this; on these forums MS fans are under represented and Nintendo and Sony fans are about equal (don't fool yourself and think Nintendo fans have a stronger presents than Sony fans), BUT Sony fans are more vocal about criticizing both Nintendo AND MS, and thus appears to be over represented.


This. By the way what was the point of this thread? This has been covered a million times over.



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

So now we have a Nintendo fan (me) and a xbox fan (ironman) sharing the same sentiment... ironman put it in another way though, but we seem to have the same rough idea that Sony fans are more vocal when it comes to critizise other companies...

Sony fans are more prone to critizing MS and Ninty. MS and Ninty fans are more prone to critizing Sony fans.

And the circle is complete!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It's properly about an equal split of core gamers from SONY, MS and Nintendo on the web overall but right now if you want to believe it or not MS are fighting a PR battle after their reveal and losing so they are providing endless amounts of ammunition to those that want to ridicule the X1.

The worst thing is that MS themselves provided the ammunition by not showing games, how can core gamer MS fans got toe to toe with SONY fans right now with hardly anything by the way of games shown by MS.

I am sure after E3, X1 fans will have more to say and if MS really do show some new IP core exclusives there will be more choice and I am sure MS Fans will want to talk about them and if E3 is a fail by SONY then the flak will come their way.

Also the PS3 has more going for it right now imo, some good exclusives coming up so again there is more to talk about, 360 owners are finishing of old games while buying the odd game. It’s end of gen and all going a bit quite for MS fans imo.

So it appears it's just a good time be a SONY fan.



Sony fans are a bunch of aggressive motherfuckers.

They are like rabid dogs trying to rip apart MS and Nintendo fans.

They terrorize internet gaming forums without mercy, all in the name of Sony.

They dominate despite being pitted against two rival factions who are more or less at peace with each other.

And this isn't only when Sony is on top, even when they are at the bottom those damn fans won't give in.

Damn them. Damn those Sony fans! Someday, they will get what's coming to them. Someday...

Ive read it several times. But regardless you make a valid point. And the above statement definitely answers the reason why.
