Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS3 Fanboys - You do realise you're putting people off the PS3?

As title really, my main reason for registeromg to post here was to put a few facts straight on the Xbox 360. There seems to be virtually NO 360 fans here at all...

I just wanted to let you know that a lot of you PS3 goons are putting off people from posting here, the reason for a lack of 360 members isn't because the console is unpopular, its because of you lot scaring everyone away.

It makes me sick to be honest, a long term member mentioned this the other day and then the PS3 troopers descended on him saying this wasn't the case.

Let me tell you now, it is the case!

I've been lurking here for ages, and since the massive influx of PS3 users at christmas the general intellectual standard of debate has gone from "pretty good" to "embarrasing to even read".

PS3 fanboys are the problem?

Are you sure you have been lurking much?

Because after reading several posts in the past month or so, it has still been wii infested.

With fanboys thinking the wii is 7 times more powerful than the ps2(soriku), and saying the wii can handle cod4, and it would sell better on the system etc..

I seriously dont see any ps3 fanboys attacking the 360 at all, all I see is wii fanboys Laughing there a$$ off as the wii continues to outsell everything, and then acting as if the wii is a superior gaming machine.



 

mM

I realise there are fanboys on all sides...

However its clear as daylight the PS3 ones are a little different, they have the normal Fanboy traights but they seem to exceed in being...

Even less informed

Willing to lie

Not listen to reasoned argument\debate

Worst of all, I detect this kind of malice in their posts, as if the PS3 failing is the end of the world. Its really unattractive, reading some of the Sony posts just has me shaking me head in disbelief...

Im talking here from someone who couldn't give a damn about who wins\loses\dies\gets set on fire, its just this personality of hate you guys put across...its pretty weird really.



I'm going to make a thread.

360 Fanboys - you do realise you're putting people off the 360.

By whining and complaining all the time, all you do is make yourself a target.

I just wanted to let you know that all 2 of you 360 goons are putting other 360 owners from posting here, the reason for a lack of 360 posters isn't because the console is unpopular, it's because of you lot scaring everyone away.

It makes me sick to be honest, a long term member tried to say that he was banning anyone who posted "trolled" in the 360 forum, and brought a wave of destruction on himself, and even the forum manager had to shut down the idea of 3 day bans for trolling in the Microsoft forum, without following the proper procedure, saying this wasn't the case.

Let me tell you now, it wasn't the case.

I've been posting here for ages, and since the massive influx of PS3 sales at christmas and beyond, the general intellectual standard of debate from 360 owners has gone from "pretty good" to "embarrassing to even read".

See! I can make baseless claims too!



As a PS3 trooper descending from the influx of christmas sales to comment on this case... nah i won't bother, i thought the opposite at first, but how is it not justifiable when others from the other camp also post unsupported information... But mostly these are educated people regardless, and i really wish i can copy and paste some of the uneducated bs i've seen. Its not only one side

Its just the way people talk in their posts, a lot of the PS3 owners come across as being borderline "insane" and demonstrating strange abnormalities in their social\psychological stuff. Sort of paranoid, touchy and generally hostile.



dude,it's m$ fault for not fixing the RROD(which made me not buy a 360)
and yes i was scared of being a victim of the RROD (i'm fckn serious)

 Actually this site has a crap ton of 360 fans... most of them get banned immediately because of their elitist attitude though... I could list them off but it isn't appropriate.

Massive influx of PS3 users? virtually NO 360 fans??? absolutely no mention of Wii fans (which occupid more than 60% of total fan base here)

 

Excuse me while I question your credibility

Thing is, I OWN A PS3!! I love it!! When I see a PS3 fanboy bashing another console, my first instinct is to bash the PS3. Why is that? For the most part, I've been able to refrain from making any comments, though.
