@what short and selective memory you have :D Not too long ago we had a member going nuts on vgc about how the wiiu versions of multiplats would be orlds apart in quality compared to ps360 etc etc. We had threads on how x game on nintendo platforms will outsell all games on vita combined etc etc. Guess you see what you want to see. It won't change the reality tho

You have a very weird definition of arrogance. You need to have a certain level of tolerance. It's a sad reality if you can't stand fans having some fun...if such things make people butt hurt enough to make doom threads then they are rather sad and pathetic people. Arrogance and having fun are two very different things. WiiU fans got a taste of their own medicine pretty much with the recent wiiu sales. I hope it comes to and end but I doubt it. I fully expect them to pick on every single silly thing they can find (we already had a few threads focusing on a selective few words from the presentation lol) and make threads on it just to get their asses kicked later on...rinse repeat. Horrible reality for a gaming community

I think I need to be more specific about what I think is a problem. Being excited is fine, celebrating good sales/success is fine. Hell, even boasting about good sales is acceptable, if a bit arrogant. What's not fine and causes a lot of problems is boasting about success that you're predicting will happen. That's why I say that the Wii U deserves the hate it's getting; Nintendo fans expected it to be wildly successful and made lots of threads about it. This got on people's nerves and, when the Wii U didn't manage this success, the hate burst through.

As such, the Wii U multiplats threads were obviously annoying and thus led to all the threads about how its graphics suck. The Vita vs 3DS Mario game threads, though, were fine in retrospect, because they were actually accurate. Arrogant, but since they were basically certainties, no one can complain.

This thread, on the other hand, is just annoying. Not because fans are excited and having fun; I'm completely alright with that. That tablet thread Turkish made,  for example, is just hyping that product, which is great. This thread, though, is just asserting that all these Sony products will be awesomely successful. That is arrogance by which most people are ticked off. Maybe people should be more tolerant, but the fact of the matter is, this is going to be one of the first threads I'm going to link to serve crow to Sony fans if and when these products fail.

You insist it's sad and pathetic to dislike this attitude, but I really don't agree. No one likes that guy who jumps around boasting to everyone that he aced that last quiz in class and that he's a genius and awesome and better than everyone else. When someone like that turns out to have failed said assessment, it's common courtesy to stuff it in his face.
