At the beginning of the generation, PS3 fans were criticized everywhere they went for their console choice IRL.  Even going into Gamestop to buy a PS3 game in 2007, the employees would question my console choice.  "Xbox 360 is getting Halo 3, why don't you like it?" 

As a result, people needed to vent on the internet.

 

We can even look at the history of this site.  At the beginning it was overwhelmingly Nintendo fanboys.  Most just freely attacked / trolled the PS3 and were even encouraged to do it by the mods at the time (FishyJoe, Shams, etc.).  Sony fans would almost be banned just for saying positive things about the PS3 while Nintendo fans (aka Gballzack) would get away with murder for a long time.  Eventually, the Sony fanboys started arriving to defend themselves and now there are more Sony fanboys than Nintendo fanboys on this site.

I think that's why MS fanboys never showed up here in numbers.  They were never caught in the fire as much.  At the beginning of the generation, there was more of the non-aggression pact between the 360 and Wii fans (aka Wii60.).

 

Sony fanboys had two fronts to fight (Nintendo and Microsoft) while Microsoft and Nintendo fanboys were mostly focused on Sony and not each other.  I guess it was because the underdogs uniting from last generation.  At least thats how it worked in Fanboy culture.  I was always more pro Nintendo and Sony and not so much MS. 

 

To this day, in raw membership this site is more pro Sony, but in power structure - it is more pro Nintendo.  People that run this site are more pro Nintendo, I think.

I like this, sums it up prety well lol.  I remember Fishyjoe.......ugh.

It's true that PlayStation fans were more likely to get banned back in the day, but that had more to do with the surrounding circumstances than unfair treatment. Many were frustrated that the PS3 didn't take off and as a result made remarks that would still get you banned on today's VGC. I guess many were also shocked that you couldn't say things like Wii has no real games and Nintendo is all kiddie like on all the other multiplatform gaming websites and thus the perception was built that VGC is overly pro-Nintendo.


I think the difference was back then that you could definitely get away more with saying stuff about Sony.  I remember when there were threads that were just discussing the games themselves (uncharted, killzone, etc.)  And then someone would just chime "PS3 domination starts with this game, lol, lol, lol"  or "Sony fanboys think this game will save the PS3, lol lol lol." even when the thread wasn't about whether the game would "save" the PS3.  It took a while before those people started facing consequences.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

I actually think it's a mixture of both. For instance, I've met more teenage Nintendo fans here than Sony fans.

then what about the whole internet audience?
