The Wii, due to its success, is obligated respect and its fans are more easily able to throw around their weight in an argument. The PS3, being in 3rd place since early in the generation, has been fighting a constant uphill battle against (at times) sluggish sales figures and lost exclusives. As such, its fans are accustomed to being assertive and sticking up for their opinions to make up for being in a weaker position. 360 fans are stuck in an odd sort of position however. They don't have the gravity or bragging rights of Wii owners, but they aren't as pressured to stick up for their console as PS3 owners. As such, it's easy for the 360 community to develop a sort of apathy and get overwhelmed by the opinions of the Wii/PS3 camps. Additionally, there are a lot of other communities with large amount of 360 fans, which reduces Vgchartz's potential pool of 360-favorable members. |
I'm not sure it's apathy. In my opinion, Xbox 360 fans don't really care what PS3 or Wii fans think.
When there is a new discussion, sure it's open to debate, but there is nevera point to arguing an old topic when they're the same ones brought up over and over again.
Why should I care if you don't think Xbox LIVE is worth it if I'm willing to pay for it? So you don't think it's worth it, oh well. Why should I care if you don't like Kinect if I think it's one of the most interesting pieces of gaming technology in recent history? So you don't think it's good for gaming, oh well.
No sense in wasting time arguing with people when it's clear they're never going to modify their opinon.
