hehe, "scheidenfreude" made me smile as a german

I'm not sure why people feel the need to "smack down the ever-delusional PS3 fanboys", when reality will do so anyway and the only real reason I can assume for doing it yourself is "Schadenfreude" aswell, so you actually in my opinion you just said "the hate is Schadenfreude² "...

most of the times the normal PS3 users (which are, believe it or not, the majority) seem to be hit as a collateral damage of "smaking the fanboys" (atleast from the view of a PS3 owner)

 

Yep, I absolutely agree with this.  Many of us, including myself, think the PS3 is providing the best GAMING experience this generation with titles like MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, and Little Big Planet.  I'm also enjoying WKC (I'm in Japan), but I won't talk too much about it until the game makes it to the West.

 

Yes, right now, the mainstream opinion (at least in the US) is to think Halo and Gears are the absolute gods for gaming and everything else is secondary.  When I mean "mainstream," I mean gaming media, etc.  Right now, I like Tales of Vesperia on 360 and I own one for that.  Other than that, there isn't much else I can't get for PC or PS3.  Star Ocean 4 is the only upcoming announced game I'm looking forward to.  Cry On was cancelled.

 

I think most of us people that are FANS of the PS3 know it's not going to sell billions like the Wii or be able to moneyhat 3rd parties like MS, but we like what has come and is coming. 

 

There are other games besides Gears and Halo to enjoy.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
