Sony more than others? Sony has the most variety in exclusive games and in gamer types, so probably, in a way, though Nintendo is right beside them, obviously. The hype for ZombieU, for example, is way, way beyond normal for another zombie game and Kid Icarus: Uprising was hyped to hell and back. I remember the vicious reaction when an writer who played a demo to TGS said he didn't like the controls.

Microsoft? What games that aren't from big, established franchises are 360 fans supposed to hype? CoD map packs? They don't really apply to this discussion unless you're also talking about downloadable titles.

Its not so much Sony hypes more then others, but that they overhype everything.

The beauty about 360 fans being a minority on the internet, you dont notice when we hype games, unless offcourse its Halo. In which case, the AAA hype it totally justified. And downloadable games count yes. Were progressive gamers that like games no matter the file size :)

Minority on the internet?  Minority?  Wha ..?

I don't know that I've ever been as shocked by anything anyone has ever said as by this.  I'm sitting here blinking at my monitor.

Ugh, anyway, these "your side is worse than my side" discussions are always the same, always the same people with the same one-sided views.  I'll reduce it down.  Yes, whichever side you're on, the other side has more fanboys, overhypes games more, has worse games, and everything else you can think of.


When was the last time you saw a Nintendo fan overhype a game?  Oh wait... perhaps Goldeneye 007 where sales were expect by most to be around 4-7m.  I don't see that many Nintendo fans saying hey this game is about to release you should all get it!  Nintendo releases a game and it sells.  Hype isn't needed for Nintendo games because you will either like it or not.  Most people already have their minds set on if they are going to buy a Nintendo published game before it releases.  You could probably put Conduit in there as well but I never tried to hype that game.  Some FPS shooters (even the CoD downgraded ports) showed that wiimote+nunchuck was a decent control option for FPS though.
