I'm not trying to compare consoles, I'm trying to explain that posts proclaiming how things are starting to turn around for the PS3 don't make you a fanboy, just make you happy that they're doing better.

I will highlight the parts in your original paragraph below where you are comparing consoles:

When people post that the Wii has beaten the Wii in Japan, or that it has beat 360 WW (maybe not) for 3 weeks, it's not to rub it in the face of anyone, it is to explain such a turnaround. Eight months ago, the PS3 was being outsold by a 6:1 margin in Japan. The PS3 could barely move ten thousand units a week. The Wii was moving 60-70k or more per week to the PS3's 10k. The reason we post that is because now, the PS3 is FINALLY fighting back. Winning these past three weeks does not mean anyone is a "fanboy" or anything like that, it's just that I love it when someone does something that everyone thinks is impossible. Eight months ago if I had said, the PS3 would outsell the Wii for three weeks following the release of SMG, or that the PS3 and 360 would be going toe-to-toe WW seven weeks after Halo 3, or just after the release of AC, CoD4, Mass Effect, GHIII or Rock band, people would have thought I was sipping the juice. But now that these things have happened, I just like to point out that even after all of the bad business decisions Sony has made and the lack of public reception for this console, it's nice to see things starting to look better.

ouch, that hurt.

I think however, the thread was made for something else. Even though he is comparing the consoles, he doesnt want to talk about that but rather the negative behaviour towards the PS3
