| FinalEvangelion said: We can even look at the history of this site. At the beginning it was overwhelmingly Nintendo fanboys. Most just freely attacked / trolled the PS3 and were even encouraged to do it by the mods at the time (FishyJoe, Shams, etc.). Sony fans would almost be banned just for saying positive things about the PS3 while Nintendo fans (aka Gballzack) would get away with murder for a long time. Eventually, the Sony fanboys started arriving to defend themselves and now there are more Sony fanboys than Nintendo fanboys on this site. I think that's why MS fanboys never showed up here in numbers. They were never caught in the fire as much. At the beginning of the generation, there was more of the non-aggression pact between the 360 and Wii fans (aka Wii60.). |
At the beginning it was a small website with a simple design that dealt with stats and numbers. I do believe the commonly tossed about idea of the relationship between consoles and age holds a grain of truth, so the older Nintendo fans were here first along with a few others represting different consoles- Diomedes, Monty etc.
In hindsight those days were filled with a lot of postering, exaggeration and complete nonsense. We had many posters making wacky predictions, essay length posts of certain events to transpire and there seemed to be an air among posters of complete understanding of the industry and the direction it was going. (Not to say that's fully gone.)
"John Lucas says: mark my words: this is sony's last hurrah in the gaming business. there will not be a ps4"
Marked John. Marked.
The concept of this site being a hating ground for Sony, then the troops arrived en masse is amusing. It may well be true.
