wow, you who made this thread, what a dumb ass, give credit where its due, are you that blind, i like both systems but its idiots like you that make me hate the 360, the idiots that support them. come up with a real topic to debate

I've never actually said this but yeah it's 360 fanboy's making threads like this that make me hate the Xbox aswel. I mean do they know how dumb they sound with these topics. It's like they ignore the fact PS3 has sold 23.4 mil consols worldwide and Xbox 360 has sold 31.6 mil worldwide. Only 8 mil more than PS3 and the Xbox 360 was out 1 year earlier, selling on the HD market with no competition and a lot of advertisement for 1 whole year until Sony came along with there HD consol selling with very little advertisement. But yeah Sony's failing big time in the eyes of 360 fanboys

I have trouble understanding why anyone would hate a product because he/she disliked some of the people who own the product.  Would you hate steak because you read threads online from people you disliked who were fans of steak?  I like steak because it tastes good to me, not because anyone else likes or dislikes it.

I think a lot of people who are fans of the PS3 blame 360 fans for their 360 angst when actually there is a more subtle reason... when we make a choice and a larger group of people make a different choice, a little voice in the back of our heads tells us that perhaps we made the wrong choice, and that makes us defensive and more sensitive to negative comments regarding our choice.  That's just the way people are.

I'm more interested in the facts regarding consoles than in trying to prove to myself that I made the "right" choice... in fact, I will probably end up with all 3 eventually.  I've also noticed that there are several posters whose comments seemed to become less defensive when they ended up owning 2 or 3 of the consoles... it took the pressure off to justify to themselves that they hadn't made an expensive mistake.

Look it's like this. At the start of this generation I had no opinion on the Xbox 360. I followed Sony since the PS1 days and PS3 was my choice of consol. I had nothing bad to say about Microsoft, PS3 was for me and as long as I had that I was happy. Then all these threads started by Xbox Fanboys saying THE PS3 IS DOOMED, PS3 owners wasted there money, haha we robbed this exclusive, PS3 is in last place, I give Sony 2 years before they discontinue PS3.

A full year of that coming from very arrogant and stupid fanboys voicing there opinions and then using ad homien attacks on anyone trying to talk facts is enough to turn anyone against a consol. Who want's to be part of that comunity.

I did plan on owning all 3 consols at the start of this generation just like I owned a Gamecube along with a PS2 last gen. See how thats changed. I've become a fanboy myself because of fanboys. LOL your whole steak moral didn't really make much sense by the way cas it's a totally different thing going on to what you discribed lol but I know what your trying to say but unfortunatly my hate for Xbox did start with Fanboys

 

Although I still own a 360 to play a couple of the games I want (and I mean only a couple jRPGs), I can see what you are saying.  It seemed in previous generations, fanboyism primarily stayed on the internet.  This generation, when I got the PS3, alot more people attacked me on that at the beginning of the generation IRL and were offended I got a PS3.

 

Anyway, I think it's better just to get consoles based on what games / features you like and not who owns them.  Because I own a 360, many people think it's crazy I'm not interested in Halo/Gears/Madden.
