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. |
PS3 fans are rooting for a console in last place. If you don't expect them to 'thump their chests hard' when they suddenly take the lead for a few weeks, I don't think you understand human behaviour very well.
You would need to calculate the amount of bans relative to the fanbase of each console on this website to come up with any meaningful data, also, you may not like what you find. Most of the prominent members of the 360 community on this site have been banned at one stage or another.
I've never seen a problem with fans creating a 'gazillion' threads about something. Sure, they may overhype it and it's probably annoying for posters uninterested in the title, but it displays the pure excitement and passion for gaming the fans have.
