This is why M$ fans needed to bitch at them

there needed to be a backlash so that M$ could know that the majority DONT want that always online shit. The point was to make a big backlash to make sure that M$ drop this wack ass idea BEFORE they announce the 720

so if M$ comes out and confirms that they will NOT have a mandatory always online feature then you know that the backlash did its job

Fortunately MS fans didn't need to bitch. Sony fans did that for us. God knows they love to piss and moan about a console they have no interest in.

If MS really does that it'll be MS that really suffers, not the consumer. Much of the 360 userbase isn't even online. That makes it quite clear mandatory online isn't not a smart idea.

no they didn't lol

that bitching shows that the fans are vocal though

but if anything, the majority of Sony fans were rubbing it in lol

Indeed they did. Even on VGChartz its Sony fans posting the rumors and blogs. Its the non-fans that are most vocal.

MS fans are just waiting for announcements. Funny how you spin something so clear.

oh so the people who posted the threads about the M$ always online sh!t are "bitching and moaning"? <-- this is what you call a spin

if anything, i'm the only Sony fan who has remotely bitched and moaned about the rumor. but it's not like i bitched to M$ though

 

idk.. you give me the impression that M$ fans just sit back like trained robots or somesh!t and are too scared and quiet to speak out to M$..

I don't know if you have noticed but there are very few actual "MS fans". Most Xbox fans bought the system because it was right for them, not out of some bizarre loyalty like the hardcore Sony fans. I would say that most of them are the opposite of what you described. Most don't give a shit and will buy whatever system they feel is better. That is the opposite of Sony fans, they will buy a $600 PS3 with nothing worth playing and defend it to the death even when everyone else is laughing at them.

When it comes to blindy defending their favorite company, few people are as bad as the real hardcore Sony fans. Even PC Elitists don't come off as aggressive and defensive. The Nintendo love I get, this Sony admiration is beyond me. Anyone that says Sony fans aren't very loud or following some "hive-mentality" just look at all the stupid Kaz pics on this and every other site right now. It's kind of ridiculous and very odd for outsiders looking in.
