Both are equally bad. The problem is that these forums are full of Nintendo ones, so the SONY ones try hard to fight back. When they do, it results in an immense amount of backlash from Nintendo ones, further feeding this vicious cycle. Sadly, due to the large number of them, I would say nintendo fanboys are worse (Speaking strictly about this site.) IMO.

 From lurking these forums, I wouldn't say that this place has been overrun by either type of fanboy. I've always found this place to be the cleanest forum around for a good conversation.

If I had to call one side more ravenous than the other (in general that is, and not simply within this forum), I'd say the Sony fanboys.

Nintendo fanboys used to be the worst, since they were all kids who didn't know anything but brand name. They would just spew out random stuff about anything they could think of and close their eyes and shut their ears when someone said otherwise. They have since grown a little, and are starting to realize some things about the industry that makes things more clear for them. Thus, they aren't lashing out as foolishly as before.

So, why are Sony fanboys the worst? Well the last two generations did give Sony 100 million fans. However these fans are generally new to the whole industry and gaming scene. Although they aren't young, they don't know much about how things truly work, and what really makes a console successful so they just assume that Sony will win because they did good in the previous generations.

These quotes should help me prove my point:

"I heard that the graphics on it...  was crazy!"

"I'm gonna beat you, and it's gonna hurt because... *lol* I don't know"

That isn't the only reason why I choose Sony fanboys to be the worst. The people who supported the PS2 last generation who aren't total "newbs" to the whole scene just don't want to admit that Sony has screwed them over pretty hard. They are holding onto some hope that their 600 dollar investment will be worth it some where down the line. Even though things are so stacked against the PS3, the Sony fanboys just will not admit that there is a chance that it could be over for them (Sony).

 MS fanboys aren't too bad. The only thing that bothers me that they do is claim that 360 is by far the best console EVER, completely disregarding Snes, N64 and DC, among others.



By life end:

  • Wii- 100 million+
  • Xbox360- 35~40 million
  • PS3- 30 million
  • PSP- 30~32 million ------------- FAILURE
  • NDS- 85~90 million (Skeptical)  - FAILURE
  • NDS- 100 million+ (Optimistic) -- Success!
