Sony fanboys are bad, but that's just because the PS3 is in last place. Look at how bad Nintendo fanboys freak out when you mention how the Wii isn't selling well in Japan. Anyways, fanboys are mostly isolated to forums and they have no effect on the real world.

Wrong.

Because PS3 is in last place, other fanboys from different console's thinks their console is king of the world.

Yes, you're right, but it doesn't mean Sony fans should act like monkeys and follow the "winner's" formula of delivering pointless insults on the Internetz.

Ignoring the haters is usually the best thing to do. They're in the minority here, so it's all good! =P
