Its considered the dude, bro console because Microsoft much like Activision EA aim commercially for the same market. Of course Sony has done the same, but has never penetrated shooter audiences like Microsoft has. When people buy shooters on Sony's console its mostly for the story and great gameplay, on Microsoft its purely for the multiplayer. Xbox Live is known for having the most competitive gamers on the platform for COD because of MLG and everything. Sony is considered to be the artsy fartsy company and sometimes that works to their detriment. Microsoft actively pursues FPS and MLG crowds and much like COD its something that Sony is going to have to learn how to make their platform seem as it has an equivalent offering.

Splatoon is going to be a strategic yet novel TPS. I love the concept. Its so Nintendo to surround themselves with new ideas much like Sony.

You have no credit in my book because you simply disregard facts to fuel your hatred towards a company.

That is PS3's top 10 softwares for you:

More than half of the top selling games there are shooters. Sony has waaaay more shooters IPs than MS. 

Your arguments never coincide with reality.

I know that its the Playstations top ten sellers were shooters dominantly third party shooters. I am saying in competition with Microsoft and the way they market themselves. Focus, dude...focus. This wasnt done in any malicious way, but ask anyone out on the street why Microsofts console would be considered the dude, bro console of the big three they would probably agree. Its because most of the titles they focused on from their creation to today focused on competitive play. Even though Sony has sold pretty well with such games, Sony is known for so much more than just those games because of what they offer outside of it. This is my point.

If you're going to tell me that Sony has just as much of a presence in MLG as Microsoft does i'll say you must be joking. Dude bros love high occtaine AAA action games (primarily shooters) and competitive sports games (on consoles). The only reason the majority would use Playstation over Xbox is because thats where the majority of the hype and competition would be for said game. I know a couple of godly COD gamers who refuse to buy a Playstation version of the game purely because of community. 

Dude bros are stereotypically overly masculine men and buy games which reflect the mentality. The Xbox is the perfect console for said men with offerings like Gears of War, Halo, along with all of the third party treats and they purchase the yearly sports installments. Not saying those games are bad, in fact I love them as well.

Microsoft is better at marketing their brand as the competitive console and Sony is always playing catch up in that area. Sony is better at other things and Microsoft tries to match them where they shine.

 

Xbox One is the home of competitive console gaming
