@Danne I just went by the "team" threads. Nintendo had the largest one. They are pretty close though.

That could simply mean that Nintendo fans are more active/more prone to make threads. I mean, spurgeryan and NintendoPie ARE in fact Nintendo fans ^^ Them two alone covers half of every post here on VGC XD

I meant the actual roster size :p. Either way this was more targetted towards the Microsoft camp anyway.

huh, didn't know that :P hiw do you look that up? But it onbly re-enforces what I said earlier; sony fans are more vocal (so it seems like they are over represented)

 

Just go into the threads and look at the list of people in each one. Unless the Nintendo thread took the roster out of it, i'm not sure. I don't know about being more vocal. I think it just seems like Sony fans are more vocal.

The reason I say this is because Sony is kind of in the middle between the other two. Nintendo and Sony are closer than Nintendo and Microsoft, so the two will more likely overlap when it comes to topics. The same is true the other way, Sony and Microsoft are closer than Nintendo and Microsoft. Since the libraries are closer as well, there's more of a chance you will get a Sony fan comparing the Playstation library to the Xbox library than you will a Nintendo fan comparing Nintendos library to the Xbox's library.

I think any amount of fanboyism drives people to dislike/be pessimistic about their rival. Between the big 3 Sony is the closest rival Nintendo has and at the same time the closest rival Microsoft has.

I think your analysis is pretty good! And it would explain why sony fans are seen everywhere; from nintendo threads to MS threads. It's simply because they can relate to each of the offerings of the other 2 groups - and that's why they are perceived as being more vocal and over represented.

Yeah thanks :p
