Final Fantasy easy. The most divided and confused fanbase will continue to be stupid with each new entry being regarded as the worst in the series.

 

 Just FFXIII because it was bad. Well, 12 wasn't that enjoyable to me either, but still it did everything better than XIII. See I'm sure you can find people who can hate any FF on any given day, but XIII is where the "fans" where most vocal, because no matter how you try to spin it as hating for the sake of hating, it is genuine hatred and disappointment for the game. It really was garbage to many. So in a gist, you're wrong. It didn't get so "divided" until that disgrace XIII was released.

OP: I think we'll see both Sony and Nintendo fanbase complain.

I think you are incorrect, what you described happened with Final Fantasy XII. In fact I think the hate of XIII is tame compared to the hate XII got.  

hmmm, you could be right that XII got same or more hate the XIII. Heck, I even admitted to not liking XII myself me thinks. I wasn't a forum poster in the PS2 days so I can't judge. I just see a lot of justifiable hate for XIII

I think the problem why it seems final fantasy 13 is worse, is due to the fact that fanboyism became a huge product of this generation. It was one of the few titles that ps3 fans hyped originally and it grew bigger hype with the 360 announcement. The hype itself caused the product to be so high, Final Fantasy XII didn't have this level of hype for the game. So when it blew up, it came pretty hard.

No, fanboyism's been around since the snes and sega Genesis days. Don't pin this on PS3 fans and Square Enix's decision to make XIII multiplat. While those people do exist, one quick glance at any forum will show the majority of complaints are game-related. When you see arguments about FF XIII it's usually about mechanics, story, linearity, ya know - the stuff that make a game a game.

I do agree however that the hype was pretty up there, and that it did play a role in the backlash. However I honestly think that it was mainly because FFXIII was just that bad.
