The hardcore Sony fanboys are a strange bunch. Its actually very offputting. Not the fact that they hate on the xbox, its more about how blindly in love they are with sony.
I have both an xbox and a ps3 but I play my xbox more. There are really only 3 reasons for that. I prefer xbox controller, I prefer the user interface and I like gears of war. That is all. I have no allegiance to any brand. If those three features were transplanted to ps3 I would play ps3 more. I'm not in love with Microsoft in fact I hate microsoft, I just so happen to enjoy playing their video game system. If there are people who bash the ps3 it is more often a backlash against the rabid ps3 fanboys than a reaction from xbox fanboys. I know I myself and most xbox players are not in love with Microsoft enough to engage in flame wars for their sake but ps3 fanboys are absolutely head over heels for sony. Its pretty lame.

I'd have to agree with this. Though I've learnt so much on this site since I came here, and my enamoring of Nintendo has decrease for the better. I still love them though, just with a little more reason and openness to alternatives.
I also agree that Sony's PR methods (bashing) does translate in its gamers. It's really sad to hear the PR arguments reused by the fans. I keep in mind the anti-Nintendo ones, but I would just assume it goes both ways.
For the better, Sony has been humbled, before it Nintendo was humbled. Now the playing field is much more even. Some areas of the market decreased for the worse, it's sad: JRPGs, niche games, new IPs. But hopefully that will change as the market puts less focus on $$$ and more focus on games as an art form (a bit like the road movies traveled). Hopefully that will reduce phenomenon like 3rd parties snobbing the Wii because it was SD, re-release after re-release and milking of franchises until they become totally uninteresting.

ok i have likely over posted in this thread so this will be my last post unless i'm quoted.
i fill the same way tword MS as when i started i wanted to counter the bashing of PS3 with a fire that couldn't be rivaled, but when i did come it was a disaster on all sides so i had a line to walk and tried not to pick sides but the heat was mostly on sony fans so i leanned on the fince alittle.
i don't know about the PR but i do beleive this new humbled filling is for the better. i'd like to see an even market next gen, and hope we all can come together and make sure our rights are protected to continue gaming in this industry without some political asshole trying to score brownie points for his/her political party.
gaming is global now and its up to us to protect wht we've built over the yr's so this fanboy mentality has to stop before we loss site of the bigger picture and that will always be protecting our rights and to enjoy the games other wise we are here for nothing.
