Excuse the thread title, I couldnt get what the topic is into words. 

My question is this. I have been registered here for a while now, but this is my first (and probably last) thread. In the last couple of months I have seen numerous complaints about the behavior of Sony/PS3 fans (or fanboys more specifically.) I thought about why people are so upset at Sony fans seemingly superhuman ability to ignore that its in 3rd place and continue to speak as if it is indeed winning the console war. Almost every thread I enter turns into a back and forth between a group of Sony enthusiasts, and a group of people who swear that this site is run by Sony Nazis and the mods dont care. 

I personally think, and this is based on no kind of factual evidence, that the behavior is irritating because the PS3 is the last place console. This kind of behavior was present last gen, just in reverse. XBox fans talked as if it was God's gift to gamers, even though it was utterly destroyed sales wise. Ditto for the Gamecube. Sony fans hated when those camps had the audacity to place their "pitiful" consoles in the same breath as the almighty PS2.

Jump to this gen, and everything is switched. The Wii is crushing all comers, and the 360 is smacking Sony around in NA. Yet PS3 fans talk as if its the single most important gaming related creation ever. I think this really bothers, or annoys, a lot of people. Can anyone confirm this for me? Or tell me I am very stupid if thats the case? I just want to understand why everything that goes wrong on this board is blamed on Sony fans/fanboys. Are they the cause of every thread derailment? Are they the only ones trolling? The only ones creating threads designed to start trouble? I just want to make sense of what I am reading.

i think your missing the point.

wii is selling more than ps3, but ps3 has better games and is a better console.

if you prefer better sales fair enough, most on here prefer better games.

the best console is the one that gives the gamer the best games and best features, games are kinda comparable on ps360 and features wise ps3 is better, but i think overall ps3 will have the better games this gen.

judging from your post your obviously a little hurt!

then it's the Xbox360. 360 has the best amount of good games on the market, sorry to tell you that.

Feature wise, maybe. But do you really use your PS3 to put pictures on it? Or maybe going on the Internet? I doubt so. The only good feature on the PS3 is the Blu-Ray DVD, which is kinda "obvious" that Sony would have pushed that feature in their next console. The PS3 is the normal evolution of the PS2, with better graphics and better features. The Wii, on the other hand, defied the market and teased many gamers that were unsure about motion controls. In a certain way, the Wii has the best feature, which is motion control, because it is the console that initiates the movement.

But I think (and not only Sony fans) that everyone started to realize that this flame war is no longer useful. What I don't understand is the non recognition of the Wii as a leader of the market, and the recognition of the Wii as the pioneer of a revolutionnary way to play, motion controls.

Also, as a feature, the WiiWare service features probably some of the best games on the downloadable market and the Virtual Console features all those Nintendo classics that we love.

I have fun playing with my Wii, while my cousin have a PS3 and don't play it anymore after finishing a game. I'm playing my Wii everyday and I like it. But some people around here creates thread "RDR beats SMG2" and when I saw them, it kills my joy in a certain way. I feel like some people really hates this white little console because it is less powerful and has least good games.

But I think the social experience of the Wii beats every console this gen. As a console, the Wii brought me back to my roots, which is playing with my family and friends and simply have fun. I don't mind replaying the same games, there is such replay value in each Wii game. On the other hand, you'll get to pay $70 to get a 10-hours long game on the PS3.

And I don't understand why there is still idiot threads like that. We are in 2010, a year I think the Wii is getting excellent games all along the year, compared to the other 2 consoles.
