| NeoRatt said: I think Sony. Who else would spend $600 for a console when it first came out with almost no games. Then, 1.5 years without an exclusive getting more then a 90% rank on metacritic or gamerankings people are still buying them. I for one have a few of the Sony consoles and I really don't know why at this point other then some sort of sick brand loyalty. All it is, is a glorified blu-ray player for me right now. |
Well that's one fantastic way to point the topic in a direction it clearly doesn't need to go.
Anyways -_-
I think Ninty fanboy's are by far the most loyal. Software sales could indicate nothing more. In fact so many rumors as to why 3rd party support blows ass on a Nintendo console is because the software ratio's are so skewed. I have 3 friends now who literally bought Wii's for Zelda.
In terms of the Sony fanboi's, There's always been a few reasons,
I myself am loyal to a few of the exclusive titles the Sony name has to offer, I NEED my final fantasy's, my Metal Gears, my Ratchet and clanks, and now like 3-4 new I.P's that I got sucker punched into loving :D I love the exclusive software.
I've always been a fan of the functionality of Sony consoles, I used to be a devout Nintendo lover, but then I went to my friends house and he was playing music CD's off his first Playstation, I thought that was pretty bitchen (I followed squaresoft at the time) and picked up one myself, then when the PS2 was announced to play DVD's I instantly hopped on board, now the PS3 with it's Blu-ray and MASSIVE amounts of functionality. I personally feel the playstation brand is worth the purchase in spades, but not necessarily because of Sony. I think for this reason you'll find a few people who bought PS3's for functionality sake alone, maybe a few ONLY for blu-ray. This is also the reason I bought a PSP, sadly, not for games :P
I think Nintendo consoles for offering NOTHING aside from gaming have sold amazingly well, and I think it only supports my theory that Nintendo fan's are by and far the most loyal, also the most rabbid in my opinion >_> I almost can't wait for the day a Zelda game gets an average review of around 70 :3
