Re-read what I said ... I never said Sony had more or less failures than any of the other systems, just that the PS3 has had far more games that have failed to even approach Sony fan's expectations. Sony fans have claimed that several games were 100% guaranteed to be 5+ Million selling games for the PS3, and yet the PS3 doesn't have a single game that has sold more than 5 Million units (with most of these games failing to sell more than 2.5 Million units); and there were a lot of games that Sony fans claimed would sell at least 2 Million units which still haven't sold 1 Million units. For the most part, hyped Wii games have met or exceeded expectations being that sequels of popular Gamecube games have outsold the previous version of their series within 6 months of being released. Even the games that some people claim were failures (like Zack and Wiki and Boom Blox) have, over time, sold to the level that most people expected them to; for example, most people expected Zack and Wiki and Boom Blox to sell to the 500,000 to 1,000,000 range and (currently) Zack and Wiki has sold 430,000 units and Boom Blox has sold 500,000 units. There are more examples of underperforming XBox 360 games than Wii games (Too Human for example) but there are still less of these games than there have been underperforming PS3 games, XBox 360 fans were never as vocal as PS3 fans seem to be, and there were some XBox 360 owners who were agreeing that expectations for these games was too high.

Obviously you are entitled to your opinion but it seems like you are for lack of a better word cherry picking. Ofcourse there will be fanboys everywhere that have wild expectations. But saying that Sony fans are somehow more "vocal" than the rest is kinda unfair considering you now have the benefit of hindsight in regards to the sales of games.
