One things that views people who are part of a group is that they are collectively under attack somehow. When the group collectively identifies with something, and that something is questioned, they take it personally and feel like they are persecuted. People who had followed the Playstation brand awhile, do feel like they are under attack because the Wii and 360 have outsold it.
Feelings of persecution help bind a group together. I saw this back in the Atari 8bit days, where the Atari computers got beat by the Commodore 64 and Amiga.
