All fanbases are guilty of contradictions, but none garner the abundance of the shame than PS3 fanboys. Theres a greater number of them which gives them multiples of the chances to be blamed when the time comes. Wii and 360 owners are fewer, but have their annoying people. |
I don't think 'PS3 fanboys' as people keep calling them are any more guilty than 360 fans. Especially if you start looking back about 2-3 years ago, when the Wii and PS3 just came out. The 360 fans were the ones pointing fingers at both consoles and stating their console was superior. Now its just a different time when the PS3 has gained momentum and its popular to back it.
The bigger problem is, this gen has turned more into the 'HD' fans vs the 'Nintendo' fans. I don't even like to make it about that, as many people who own a Wii or DS also own a 360 or PS3, but that's how many people are treating it. Often times whenever there's a new release of a Wii or DS game, there's inevitably a horde of 'HD' fans who descent on any thread or discussion site of that game like a plague feeling its their duty to call the game 'kiddy' and 'for kids' and 'sucks cuz its on the Wii'. Even if its something along the lines of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Metroid Prime Trilogy or heck, games they have on their own 'HD' systems like LEGO Batman. This is the real 'fanboy' and they show up every time there's discussion about a Wii game. That transcends any petty squabbles people may have about FFXIII being exclusive or Uncharted 2 not being on the 360.
And a large part of why this is so stupid is because you know if those games were on the 'HD' systems, no one would give them a second look. Muramasa: The Demon Blade is being called kiddy by a TON of people because its on the Wii, yet you know if it was on PS3, it would be deemed a 'hot niche game along the same vein of Disgaea 3'. The same people who whine and moan about the Wii being kiddy, and many who whine and moan about 'console exclusivity, are the same people who only buy games based on console exclusivity and what reviewers tell them to.
