It goes on the idea that the fanbase is accountable for eachother. That the vocal speak for the masses and thereby also represent them. We are not individuals that just happen to own the same console....we are part of a team with similar ideas and cultures. Even if some don't agree with eachother, the people of every fanbase are bound by a consencus on certain subjects by default.
I also believe in the idea of "perception = reality" where you are only viewed in the reality of how your peers and enemies view you, not by how you percieve yourself.
I personally see this as no different int he real world, where oversimplified generalizations are the norm. Unfair, biased, and sample sizes not indicative of the whole? You betcha. Still the norm and is human nature to continue to do so. It is simple and immediate rather then doing painstaking research, only to have even that refuted just as easily.
I can most definately be called out for something another number of Xbox fans say but myself personally didn't say. It is unfair, but I feel I am accountable for my fellow fans by default. I apologize and in the future I do my part to change the opinions of fellow fans accordingly.

Sales, this must be the worst post I have ever seen on vgchartz. In my entire 4 years ive been here. Everything you said is exactly what is wrong with our forums everything.

Amen bro. In an ideal world (nevermind anonymous internet forums), we shouldn't be doing these practices and broad strokes. I am just telling it like it is and going with the curve.
And pardon me for "romanticizing" the console war. It is just boring, mundane, and average, to view fans as individuals with the same console as opposed to a unified fanbase with shared ideals and cultures. If I call one of you out, I call your whole fanbase out, regardless of your opinion. Same goes for me.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
