It carries the message "it's all jealousy". Do you actually agree with this view?
No and IMO the original article didn't claim this neither, but I think it adds fuel to the situation like the original article states.
Bottom-line, the PS3 is not Doomed and has a most excellent gaming line-up. This is what matters the most.
Important fuel is of course also that Microsoft email which included over 90% misinformation regarding a PS3 and 360 comparison. Also some vivid VGChartz posters clam a lot onto what was stated in this laughable posting.
The PS3 must be inferior or else... If the PS3 is really much more powerful in the end some probably will feel too ashamed of their past comments. So I think from some people's view, it must not and cannot be correct (hence the mass hyping of minor porting issues).
The same happened with regard to the RRoD issues, fanboys even went as far as to attack fellow console fans for having had to go through so many console failures. After all Microsoft in public claimed the problems were within industry standards, so people must be lying. It was a shock to many when Microsoft announced to their shareholders the real extend of the problems (costing over 1.15 Billion dollars at the time) to defend themselves from costly and potentially destructive lawsuits. The loss of HD DVD was another such shock event, likewise were top notch PS3 exclusives, Halo 3 technical sacrifices, etc.
