| madskillz said: I frequent a few sites and it's universal - PS3 fans tend to be very passionate and vocal - and annoying. I also think they are the most defensive - they can not stand *bad* news, even if it's the MSM reporting it. 360 fans can be annoying, as well as Wii fans, but not to the point of PS3 fans, thumping their chests hard when their console does good for a few weeks. Don't believe me? Look at the folks who are permabanned or banned. There are a few Wii and 360 posters, but most tend to be PS3 owners. And the ones circumventing the bans? PS3 users. And trust me - it's not just this site - they are all over the place. I like my PS3, but I'm not as devoted as these folks are. It's almost like some of them are in a cult. 360 fans? What do they brag about - how often do they create a gazillion threads about an exclusive? There are some, but not as much as Sony fans. |
I respect your opinion but I have to disagree pretty much across the board. I frequent several sites too and have left several because of the fan wars between both PS3 AND X360 fans. I don't like the Wii but I will say from my experience they are the least likely to get involved in a blog brawl although I am sure many do.
I for one love Sony products (not just PS3) and probably will until I get some crappy products (which hasn't happened for over 15 years thus far). I won't be joining a cult or anything though.
You need to look more if you don't think 360 fans make as many idiot threads as PS3 fans do. I can't count the Halo:ODST, Alan Wake, Gears, etc flame baited threads that I have seen. I disagree with the whole "bad news" angle too. I think people who like Sony get mad at places like Kotaku and CNet who are either paid by MS or hate Sony or both. Anyway, I am not trashing you just saying from my experience the X360 and PS3 fans have a pretty equal number of cruddy posters/thread starters/fans.
As to the original poster, CGI stated the answer that best fits the question, at least IMO. The PS and PS2 sold incredible amounts of hardware and PS2 was a crazy phenom, which leaves a lot of people who like Sony in the world, it doesn't mean they can't like othe systems too like you do for example.
