During the 2008 election season, the ONE candidate who won most of the Internet polls was Ron Paul. He ended up doing also-ran in the elections. So, you can have a VERY strongly opinionated partisan camp who cares more about the something than others.
Also, one can strongly argue that the PS3 is a superior piece of hardware, factoring in BluRay. The 360 does have some advantages also, but on the whole the PS3 is likely superior. HOWEVER, factoring in price and other things, it doesn't appear to be a difference maker in what is owned. It is a bit like the XBox vs the PS2. The original XBox is arguably superior to the PS2, but the PS2 ended up winning the battle, because it was close enough technically to the XBox and had other things going for it.
