No, and neither do you. What you're holding is the staff of the Grand Wizard King.

Know your South Park lore, pleb.

Ah, I like your german attitude a lot.

This thread is interesting to note that people see what they want to see.You have Bralod for example, saying that this site is pro Nintendo and the other communities are small compared to it, but then comes you saying otherwise.
Mind you, Im not saying you are right or wrong, just merely pointing out how personal opinions can dictate how you view the world, wether you are right or not.

Well, I know that Nintendo is big here, really. But I always considered them as really doing their own thing. I know they had and have very big threads from time to time but every time I peeked in these threads I didn't even know what was going on.

Then again you have "crazy" people like curl-6 (?) which once argued that the SNES was more capable in doing sprites than the Neo-Geo and blamed the bad ports why Samurai Shodown, for example, was inferior on the SNES compared to the Neo-Geo version. This is where it gets unhealthy, not to mention all the other threads where he tried to compare Wii or WiiU graphics to the MS and Sony consoles.

So yes, I mainly participated in the Sony and MS threads because Nintendo lost me many years ago (besides my hacked Nintendo DS which I lost, sadly).

Come on, I don't have the power to influence people. People can make up their own mind about everything and you should admit that you were trying to be an influential entity on this site for a very long time, becoming almost the most active and "important" member on the Sony side of things. Again, nothing wrong with that and nothing wrong with people addressing that.



Here is wisdom. If you are a console maker and you have no exclusives, no one will have anything to talk about when it comes to your platform. It wont happen in the media, it wont happen on youtube and it wont happen in the forums. You will become a non-entity until you make yourself worth talking about.

Sony gets favored because they have the best of both worlds. They have all the lionshare of the third party and they make and fund great first party. Microsoft is primarily dependent on third party and have created a culture where exclusives matter less and less (causing their popularity based on identity to dwindle little by little) and Nintendo is the opposite where they excel at exclusives so well they put first party in danger. This is why Sony will always be talked about. They dont have such problems that the competition struggle with on a daily basis. Its just a fact. The bias towards sony is higher because the feeling of satisfaction with game selection is higher for most gamers. I even feel this way for Nintendo this gen and I haven't felt that way in years.

I hope all goes well for you and yes, it does get hard to debate when you feel the world is against you. Take a breather and it does get better. The old VGChartz crew from before the 2010's are getting older and have things to do. Our priorities are changing. You never know what the future holds.

It's not enough that I should succeed - others should fail. I wish I was author of those words.

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

The site always favored Sony but perhaps you are right - Sony attracts the guys to forums more than Microsoft does (unless it's negative - believe me, I'm German and are used to MS criticism since the internet went live).

The thing is that the site always had more Sony fans when MS was leading

I also wish you all the best and have slight remeberings of discussing with you when last gen was hot ;) And yes, we all have other stuff to do and especially more important stuff like educating a child, for example. Which will grow up seeing his dad playing on a PS4 (slim)



I like your attitude. You're not depth with Nintendo, so you just avoided, unlike some users that feel the need to get in and spill out their bias and ignorance and you pointed that pretty well in your thread.(I skipped the gribble part bc I can't comment on something that I am not aware)


But I wouldn't call them as a specific fanbase. They are just annoying individuals that have nothing better to do. Directing your complaining to a big group like the Sony fanbase is just more fuel for console wars.

This site always had more Sonys fans because.....well...were gamers...and what do gamers like? The only thing about gaming Microsoft still doesnt do well. 

You've seen me here before. I only focus on games and gravitate to where most of the games of value are. I walked into this community as a 360 only gamer and protested Sony in the beginning because of how they handled the PS3 launch and here we are today where they won back our good graces and we've spent nearly a decade enjoying great games from them consistently. 

You're so right abouut the priorities with the kid. Im still going to be a hardcore gamer when I have kids. Haha! Good luck!



Well of course the site is favouring Sony more than ever, have you seen the ps4:xb1 sales? The userbase isn't going to be even in preference when the world isn't.
