Words Of Wisdom said:
The first most logical explanation is simply that Wii owners are the clear majority right now. The Wii has quickly over taken and overshadowed its competition. The result is that Wii owners are the most vocal group. Attacks or simply negative comments directed against the Wii have the most backlash by sheer popularity.

The second explanation is simply pride. Wii owners, more or less, love their little white bundle of goodness so they take comments a lot more personally than more "hardcore" gamers who view their console with a bit more indifference. It doesn't just put pretty shinies on the screen, it produces fun.

Another likely explanation is that the most vocal 360 owners have been shut up with in the past year by the Wii's success. So many of them predicted failure on every level for the Wii that with each passing month, Wii fans repeatedly drilled it into their thick skulls that the Wii was the real thing and it was crushing their precious 360. Months of listening to that likely discouraged many 360 gamers so you don't hear them quite as often.

The final explanation for the PS3 owners is that there simply isn't that many of them. Plus they're too busy playing their epic-length games like Resistance FoM and Heavenly Sword.



Sarcasm aside, not every community is the same. Some gaming communities are vastly different than others.  That's not bias, it's simply not equal representation.

yeah 360 owners were all saying that wii will never beat 360 in sales and when it did they were saying well nothing on wii is better then bioshock,halo3 etc and then comes SMG thats beats all its games
