| Endz said: What the topic creator says is true but it is an obvious reason for why people like something and not something else. Though I think the creator thinks that some people don't realize this and I agree. These are the fans that are just blind and there is many of them. I think this blind fanboyism has become better though since I am surprised almost everyone, even xbox fans are saying MS lost E3 but then Sony fans are making it worse... Also there is a "winning E3" trophy - the amount of media hype from a winning E3 conference will be bigger. That is what these conferences are for - all the higher media attention. |
I would argue that people liking or disliking something is shaped by more than just what one thinks about something independent of something else. In the case of fanboys, what system runs a game seems to be essential to. You see cases, like with Final Fantasy XIII (and now Agent) where the game was heralded as awesome... until it went multiplatform. At that point, Versus XIII ended up getting all the hype talk. Same goes with predictions. Due to a sheer lack of information, when you ask someone how the think things will do, and they end up letting their personal biases come through.
Because of all this, all this E3 talk I have seen on here ends up telling more far more about the people on here, and their biases, than actually what has been revealed. I know with myself, I even fall subject to it, although my interest is in being accurate more than having a given system win a console battle (and yes, I have a rooting interest for the PS3 being in last place).
