| FentonCrackshell said: The VGC community goes where console sales go. I remember back in 2011 this place was a haven for Wii fans. And I know everyone remembers the WiiU/PS4/XI sales prediction thread. Wii fans were out in full force. Now we see Sony fans more than any other fans. That's the way it goes around here. As far as the "disconnected from reality" comment; people will like what they like. Most gamers who post to gaming sites aren't casuals. What appeals to us will usually be broader than that of "reality". |
This is actually a very interesting point. Right now most "neutral" gaming sites, are filled with Sony fanboys, upvoting everything positive about Sony, and downvoting anything negative about Sony, regardless of rationality. I remember back in 2009 or so, when the fanboys were more even between Xbox and Playstation, which then accurately represented the sales of the consoles as well. While I believe most of those are younger kids, who feel more strongly about the console their parents bought them, this kind of attitude seems to spread. People just like to hear positive things about their choice of console. In community driven places like this, it doesn't seem to be as much of a problem though, and since we have more people past their puberty and a lot of people who were gamers long before the turn of the millenium, there is a lot more varied and reasonable discussions here.
As to the OP. The majority of video game consumers, do not go to online forums and talk about games. We are the minority, the most passionate about games, and do not represent the majority.
