The PS3 forums of most websites are full of antisony guys doing viral marketing by posting all the bad news and rumors as facts ...citing always the same tech documents(most from blogs by the way ) to prove the might of the X360 and so on .Most of these are boxer fans ,some other are Nintendo fans but those seem to have tempered down a bit lately .
I rarely see ,on the other way ,Sony fanboys invading the X360 or Wii forums to say crap .
QFT! I noticed that as well. I go to fansites of all systems and I rarely see any anti-360 or anti-wii people invade fan forums.
Seriously I like to go to forums for advice and technical tips and I cannot stand when it gets bogged down by some idiotic rant.
Well fanboyism is a well know phenomenon ,and it gets more rabid when it comes from fans of a console or company that isnt exactly in its best moment .Maybe for that the Nintendo fanboys have been the more rabid those later years and now are more calmed and the X360 fans are at full rage right now .
In any case it could be also because of this ....

Bribing bloggers ,offering cash to wikipedia to change their articles ,FUD tactics ......the Microsoft way .If we see so many violent attacks versus a entertaintment company as Sony that offers you a console to play and doesnt oblige you to buy their products we shouldnt feel so strange about it ....the posters are probably ignorants that think they know more than they do and involuntarily spread the FUD ,or bribed bloggers and in that case they are just doing their work .
