I'm a PS3 owner and supporter and I get peeved for a number of reasons ^^
There are a select few people out there who make us all seem batshit crazy for one, with insane sales predictions, harshness towards the opposing consoles, and varous other oddities :P Which is fine ^^ I admire your enthusiasm! However... because of these select few, us more normal PS3 supporters that simply hope for the best get typecasted into many categories I don't agree with at all, and the mentality continues throughout the message boards, taking volleys from all the other "fanboys".
For some reason, there seems to be an aggressive push against people who have high hopes for sales of a game, even going so far as saying "This game will sell ton's of consoles!". Is it true or not? Who knows :) Not the point! He's obviously got high hopes for this game. Then the dark side >_> For every 1 person to say "this game is going to move consoles!, just wait till "x,x,x" come out!", you get 30 people saying "Oh... look at the pitiful PS3 owners, desperate because your in last place" or them too saying sarcastic things like "Ooop check that one off the list of PS3 domination ah hur hur hur... so are we waiting till "x,x,x" for ps3 domination? hur hur hurrrrrrr."
I get upset at the site sometimes, because it's like people look down on me for supporting the PS3, for hoping that a game sells well, hoping that every game released is going to be a good one, for just generally being optimistic when times look bad :P
Then it comes down to a positive PS3 thread being turned into "find a way to fix the logic of all these people so they're entirely upset and realize they're foolish" :P In which case, people who care little for the topic at hand, invade the thread, and have a massive wank fest with each other while they completely trash the original message the thread was aiming for :P
I'm not saying it doesn't happen with the other threads (granted I wouldn't really know, I don't browse too many non-sony forums), but I notice it a ton with the PS3 threads xD Someone could be thrilled with a preview of a game, yet 10 people have to run in there and give reasons they weren't impressed, yet it's like, dude, if you weren't impressed, why are you even here xD You don't really give a shit :P
