How many times are we going to hear about the power of the cell, the power of the SPU's and the "dives are lazy" excuse? Until recently most ps3 fanboys fully believed that the PS3 would take 2nd place and then 1st place... some still believe that this will happen without a doubt in their mind! The blind fanboyism and total devotion to a console is crazy! 360 fanboys have been underdogs, MS was given a years head start with Sony saying no worries will catch up to them in no time! A couple years later and Sony is no way nearer to catching up. 360 fanboys don't have the luxury to pretend their console is best because it’s a flawed console that can break down without notice. This is why 360 fanboys rally behind the software, the true strength of the console. But as I fear this may change too! With the lack of MS exclusive announcements for 2009, a lot of fanboys including myself, are wondering if the console's software will still be the 360's strength at the end of this year. I've also noticed on these forums that negative 360 threads will usually die within a couple hours, unlike negative PS3 threads that will last days! This I believe is due to the aggressiveness of the PS3 fanboys on these forums. For example - Just yesterday I was called a "fucking idiot" by another member and told that my mother would be embarrassed of the failure I am! Those are words of obsessive fanboys that actually want to hurt people because of the console they choose... This belief that their console is beyond any negative remarks or critisicm is in fact very elitist, and these views are bolstered even more with their replies in this thread! |
