To those who took offense to what I said in the PS3 selling 4.48 million...

All I ask for, is if anyone has bad things to say about any console, is to think twice and if it's going to tick off someone just don't say it. It just gets old quickly, especially the PS3 bashing that does happen too often. I have a feeling that it's a hot button that can send a normally low key and relaxed person to the point of going off on another.

I agree with this. On any given forum, it's particularly annoying for anyone who owns the console that's least represented in terms of fans.

For example, it's very possible to say something that is completely appropriate, albeit critical, of the PS3. For example, it hasn't sold as many systems as the 360 thus far! That is true, I don't think anyone is disputing that. However, how annoying would it be to have this fact pushed in your face by every poster any time you pointed out something positive about the PS3? It's not that invidividually, these posts are trollish... it's just that there are so many of them, that it gets a little tiresome. By contrast, few people are quick to point out anything positive in the PS3's favor.  Whether those pro-Wii posts happen to be constructive and appropriate or not, when there are 8 times as many of those posts as there are pro-PS3 posts, it just... I can understand why it would get a tad tiresome, whether the people are actually trolling or not (and make no mistake, there are definitely pro-Wii trolls, I'm just saying that not all of them are). 

I'm really not sure there's anything you can do about that problem but to try and create a positive atmosphere and get more PS3/360 fans on board, so it becomes less dominated by Wii fans (and JJ, we actually had a post about this recently, it does seem that there are more PS3 fans than there were, which is a good step).
