Obviously I'm late to the party, but I'm just popping in to say to drop the current conversation, as it's not going anywhere positive.

It's perfectly okay for a user to be happy that his favorite console (struggling or not) is performing better that it was previously. It's perfectly natural for someone to root for something that they enjoy, no matter how it's performing in the big picture. That shouldn't be an issue. Though expectations should be tempered based on its current situation (I'm happy that my 3-14 team got a win, although I shouldn't be expecting them to get to the playoffs).

It's also okay for users to debate said position, as long as they use facts/evidence and engage with a spirit of good discussion. That should in turn create good discussion as both parties discuss and debate on how they understand the situation. This is a forum after all, with the goal being to foster healthy discussion among like minded individuals. So criticism and discussion shouldn't be shrugged off, instead it should be embraced and delt with in a positive manner.

TL;DR

You shouldn't be ostracized for rooting for a minority presence on these forums (in this case a console with low sales), but you should be able to defend your position with clarity and good nature. Learn from this and improve. Thanks. :)


Thank you for this, I never said it would make a PS3 I just went back to what I originally wrote and I said MIGHT make a PS3 comeback. So the fact that I was just having a hopeful instead of factual one, is hard for me understand why people need to throw shots in.
