What is it with 360 fanboys?

I'm here almost every day, and every one of those days it seems at least one Sony fanboy is crowing that the PS3 will fulfill the ancient prophecy, save the princess, and prevail in the console war.

But 360 fans? Nothing. Take it all in stride. You're well ahead of the PS3, but you make no pretense of being all that. What is wrong with you?

What do you mean by "no pretense of being all that"? If you mean that they don't troll Sony and Nintendo, I'd disagree. If, as it seems, you mean that they don't feel that they're about to vault into first place anytime soon, it may be because they've never been there, whereas the die-hard Sony fans were on that oh-so-esteemed pedestal only two years ago, and a small handful are still smarting about losing that position.

I would like to point out that if that's the assertion, this thread is about a year late.

 

The latter, I assure you. All sides have their delusions (MGS4 comin's to teh 360! RE5 to teh Wii!) but none batshit blind as the Sony sales watchers.

As to the why, yeah, you could use logic to figure it out, but this way is so much more fun.

As to the timing, a year ago, PS3 fanboys had at least a slightly credible hope of making up lost ground. They were back about 10m, not 20m, with sales on the uptick and a great year of games ahead. 2008 was their chance to get back in the game, and instead the sales slipped even further back. We're well past the point of wishful thinking, and deep into the bedrock of denial.
