Forums - Sony Discussion - PS3, The Loser That The Fans Think Is Winning.

Internet Forums =/= Sales

Basically, what I am meaning by that is that most people who are gamers don't frequent video game websites. Generally each website has its own bias and this site seems to just happen to have PS3 fans. Looking at really old threads, it used to be 360 fans that owned this site.

Most of the xbox 360 fans left the site due to the overabundance of PS3 fans giving them a lot of bullshit to deal with. The Nintendo fans are still here, and quite prominent. If you make the wrong statement in a Nintendo thread, generally, only 1 person will tell you that you're wrong and will destroy you.

Are you reffering to me I kid I kid, I destroy anyone with a stupid statement no matter the type of thread LOL

Honestly you hit the nail on the head, this used to be a pretty pro Nintendo site with a ton of Nintendo fans soaking up the sales discussions cause it was awesome party time cause all the fans were fans since they were kids and this was the first gen in a while that Nintendo has been on top. 

Then it became obvious that the sales wouldn't stop, it cemented it's place as number 1, the discussions of PS3 somehow beating Wii were just proven wrong day in and day out because it was a mathmatical impossibility unless one console just stopped selling period and the other spiked like no console has ever done.

This in turn made things become redundant, many Nintendo fans left because it got boring.

Come in the new PS3 surge.  Many PS3 fans jumped on board because guess what! The PS3 is a moving and a shaking up the charts!  And it's well deserved despite the rocky start.  So of course PS3 fans want to visit the site and see the new software data and console sales, I think they take every little battle as a victory in some way, so sales are very interesting to them, when for others its kinda like "oh Halo sold a million?  Who woulda guessed?"  "Wii is still killing everyone in software?  Yeah same old song and dance since release". 

Believe it or not it's just because of entertainment, nerds like discussing their nerdy things, if something they like is doing well even if it's getting literally killed in comparison to something else, they're gonna cheer.  Hell I'd be lying if I didn't go FUCK YES when Mother 3 ended up on a few of the top games of the decade lists, sure it's killed in sales, it's killed in fanbase size, it's killed (in english) by its own company lol, but man do I love seeing other people enjoying something I flat out love.

So in short, yeah PS3 fans are praising right now, cause a lot moved to the site in 2008, now there's a lot of little battles being won, things are exciting again.

On a side note, I wish members on all sides would calm down on the whole "my game is better than your game" thing... it's really useless lol and probably the biggest thing that drives other members crazy and keeps our community from being as welcoming as it should be.

Excuse the thread title, I couldnt get what the topic is into words. 

My question is this. I have been registered here for a while now, but this is my first (and probably last) thread. In the last couple of months I have seen numerous complaints about the behavior of Sony/PS3 fans (or fanboys more specifically.) I thought about why people are so upset at Sony fans seemingly superhuman ability to ignore that its in 3rd place and continue to speak as if it is indeed winning the console war. Almost every thread I enter turns into a back and forth between a group of Sony enthusiasts, and a group of people who swear that this site is run by Sony Nazis and the mods dont care. 

I personally think, and this is based on no kind of factual evidence, that the behavior is irritating because the PS3 is the last place console. This kind of behavior was present last gen, just in reverse. XBox fans talked as if it was God's gift to gamers, even though it was utterly destroyed sales wise. Ditto for the Gamecube. Sony fans hated when those camps had the audacity to place their "pitiful" consoles in the same breath as the almighty PS2.

Jump to this gen, and everything is switched. The Wii is crushing all comers, and the 360 is smacking Sony around in NA. Yet PS3 fans talk as if its the single most important gaming related creation ever. I think this really bothers, or annoys, a lot of people. Can anyone confirm this for me? Or tell me I am very stupid if thats the case? I just want to understand why everything that goes wrong on this board is blamed on Sony fans/fanboys. Are they the cause of every thread derailment? Are they the only ones trolling? The only ones creating threads designed to start trouble? I just want to make sense of what I am reading.

i think your missing the point.

wii is selling more than ps3, but ps3 has better games and is a better console, IMO.

if you prefer better sales fair enough, most on here prefer better games.

the best console is the one that gives the gamer the best games and best features, games are kinda comparable on ps360 and features wise ps3 is better, but i think overall ps3 will have the better games this gen.

judging from your post your obviously a little hurt!

You forgot something important in your post. Not everyone has the same opinion as you. I like Wii games and my Wii much more than my PS3.

You are the man.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy that happens to own a enjoy PS3 games. I have even bought a new PS2, I wanted to get a new one b4 they stop making them, hey it's gatta be someday soon right? =0). Anyways.

Please PS3 fan. Be happy about your system, it really is great but also stop with this PS3 has better games BS. Thats what pisses me off the most. Please undestand that a lot of people have diffrent tastes. I'm as hardcore a game as there is and i hate UC2, Heavy Rain, GT series, ext...I'm ok with GoW, but I'm not paying $60 for it and I guess FF stuff is ok, ok at best. Point is my PS3 games are MLB10, Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles and stuff like that. But I enojoy the Wii games more. Monster Hunter Tri is SICK!

So anwways I guess my point is NO the PS3 DOES NOT have the best games. The 360 does not have the best game and the Wii does not have the best games. It all goes by the individual.



If you're saying - as I think you are - that it's always a small number of people who are so focused on their console and so upset when it's behind in sales they tend to get aggressive and talk things up then I'd agree.

So you'll see folks jumping on the Wii being down YOY or the 360 for dropping way behind in Japan and being edged out in Others or the PS3 for being in third overall and third in US, for being behind Wii, etc.

By the same token you get all the 'this game is the best for X' and 'those games suck' driven from the same source.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I’m not going to name names but both camps have some pretty tiresome backers. I love my PS3 but try hard not to get riled by the 360 camp. If it wasn’t for RRoD I would be playing great games on the 360 also.



 

 assumption is the mother of all f**k ups

Rather than just tagging this thread to read later, I'm actually going to post.

-First off, you can't play sales. The PS3 is an impressive piece of hardware with some truly great games. Personally, I prefer the Xbox 360. That is all. See you guys later!



Fans don't abandon their favorite when they are in last place.
Fans take a lot of crap from others when their favorite seams to suck and be stuck.
Fans take pleasure in giving crap to others when it is clear that their favorite doesn't suck and is not stuck.

On the other hand, there are a lot of people with single or multiple consoles that one can have a pleasant conversation/argument with. They seam to be the large majority actually.



That's what happens when for two and a half years the other fans laugh at your favorite company's misfortunes (and you).



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

the 2 main reason are unlike last gen the ps3 is quickly catching up on the 360 where as lasy gen the xbox wasnt coming anywhere near the ps2. also the ps3 has been getting insane amounts of amazing games. lol its won ign's consol of the year last 2 year by a long way andwill prob do it again. where as the origonal xbox had a lack of good exclusive. infact halo was one its it few good exclusive franchises



1st: Yeap, there´s a lot of fan boys, it´s like watching a football match... people over react.. soo... there´s fan boys everywhere.

2nd: Posting the way you did, you are assuming a position against PS3, since it´s selling more than X360 no NA for the last few weeks... and also a lot more ww... X360 has great games, ps3 has great games, pc... too... wii has too... be happy with your console/PC.. don´t bother what fan boys says... alwayss will be umbalanced.

3rd: Like the title, soo missplaced.

bye :)
