In general people from all consoles bash the other ones besides some non-biased multi console owners (myself, CGI-Quality, Yo_John117, etc.) so its not really fair to point only to PS3 owners for it. There's plenty of pro Wii and 360 flamers / trolls as well.

Now that being said I would agree the PS3 community seems much more vocal for the most part in saying anti - 360 comments than you see going the other way but I think thats for a couple reasons.

1. The PS3 community is much more active on the internet. I don't really know why but its pretty much a statistical fact, nearly every website which does polls about which console is better the PS3 nearly always wins despite the 360 haveing a larger userbase. I think its because PS3 with its high price tag sold primarily more to "hardcore" gamers and tech guys.

2. The PS3 lost a massive amount of marketshare this generation and a lot of it is do to the 360. Its evident by just how much the 360 has sold this gen and how much fewer PS3s have been sold in comparison to PS2. There has certainly been some PS2 fans who jumped onto the 360 instead of the PS3.

3. PS3 owners more than any other console for some odd reason believe in things like loyalty among business and honor and such. Its kinda strange but they get legitmatily angry when exclusive games jumped multi-plat. I still remember the rage from games like Final Fantasy XIII and plenty of others when they became multi-plat games. The 360 gamers honestly didn't freak out really at all when Mass Effect jumped or when Bungie went multi-plat and don't generally care about the "Exclusives lists" like PS3 fans do.

1.360 doesn't have a larger userbase, remember this study, http://techhall.wordpress.com/2010/03/17/ps3-has-larger-install-base-than-360/ 

2. What does that have to do with anything

3.If FFXIII went to 360 after it was released on ps3 I doubt many people would care, but it was suspected and later confirmed that they cut content out of the ps3 version because of the 360 one http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/6439.html "left out due to considerations for game volume", game volume wasn't an issue on ps3, plus after playing the game I doubt anyone would of cared 

1.  The 360 has a larger install base than the PS3.  I can't believe in 2011 there's still people trying to debate that the RROD is responsible for the 360 lead.  MS 95% of the time didn't replace 360's with new ones, they simply repaired the existing console.

2.  It has to do with bitterness over the loss of the lead.  Obviously not all or probably even close to most are bitter over it but there is a bitter very vocal minority who are upset about it.  I see posters ever single day who are.

3.  LOL no it had nothing to do with content stop trying to make excuses for the ones that freaked out.  Litteraly the milisecond that trailer appeared at E3 Sony hardcores BLEW UP.  I remember the meltdowns were legendary.  And that was before anyone had seen ANY content for the game minus 1 - 2 trailers.

1. It's not like no1 has bought another 360 to replace their broken one after thier warrenty has finally run out or are just getting sick of putting it back and it's not nessirary all RROD, I've seen more youtube vids of girlfriends destorying 360 then I have ps3, but anyways the study speaks for itself either prove the study wrong or accept it

2. Technically the ps3 lost no marketshare, since it never had any, Sony did lose some though, but the ps2 kept it's market share afloat for longer then you think 

3. Square went on record saying that FFXIII would use 100% of the ps3s potential (or whatever not an exact quote) anyways my point is once it was annouced mutliplat people knew the game was going to get downgraded, and again if it happend after the game launched (especially if it was a year after) like ME2 it wouldn't of happened 



Gotta be honsest you sound exactly like the people I've been talking about

I'm just putting things in context

It brought in paid DLC, paid online, linear shooters as the go to genre and crappy console online with no substance. Basically MS and xbox have done irreparable harm to consoles.

Well most Sony fans don't actually hate the 360 but for the ones that do it's because the 360 is ahead of the PS3 and they don't like that.



Skeeuk on 24 July 2011

Generalizing is a bad thing. >_>
I am a Sony fan to you know but I am not blindly bashing the 360.

nice anti nintendo signature Mr non blind basher......


unless ninty makes the 360, he wasn't wrong >_>

And i didn't say he was. I said he's proven to be a blind basher from his own signature.

You on the other hand implied that this fact means his honnesty on the 360 statement is doubtfull. Your own logic brought you to the conclusion that his statement is invalid based on a fact I pointed, hence why you feel the need to react in his defence diverting the sentence to linking ninty and 360, nice try, but all you do is confirm my analysis.

LOLWUT!? don't analyse too much professor..even though internet iz zeriouz buzinezz

don't read into it too much..he made a clear statement, unless you have any proof to say otherwise then that's all there is to it. simple really. it's not like oh you don't like this game AHAAA! you are a known hater and hence you must hate all things for sureeeee..rather rediculous even for a hypothesis. I didn't feel a 'need' just posted to point out how stupid your statement was.

and Noctis afaik haven't hated on the 360 ever...I've been pretty active over the past year and the guy rarely gets into arguments even. and for the record I didn't even read his signature since it has nothing to do with this situation. and if you think something like that is what labels someone as something and not their posting history, you're being deluded and desperate.

get that theory prof? might be a bit too complicated for you but do give it a try and stop labeling people

and OP, here is another example for you..that showcases the other side of things..the bitterness is through the roof

i'm so off target that your post is 3x the size of mine, you fake laugh a few times... good indicators.

and you clearly don't understand what i say, in his case his posting history does not label him anyway, but he HIMSEFL puts a label with his signature. How can one deny a label a person puts on himself? Look at the sig since you admited not looking (so basically admitting that your argumentation is baseless gratz), it's a clear "I laugh at all things Nint" and with such a mentality from a PS3 fan, how much value can be given to his "I don't bash 360 statement", none.

I don't hate the Xbox 360, it's just a typical rivalry.

I always say - the first sign that someone is a fanboy is when they think one group of fanboys are worse than others. It's usually for the console they don't support.

Maybe there are more PS3 fanboys on the internet now days. But I think alot of that was provoked back in 2007 when Wii and 360 fans launched a full scale offensive on the PS3 and its supporters. In 2007, on this site, no one could discuss upcoming PS3 games without someone coming in and saying "lol lol PS3 Domination starts with this game lol lol lol." Also, mods like FishyJoe at the time encouraged trolling of the PS3. He would actually flamebait PS3 fans so he could ban them.

I think the whole console loyalty is pretty stupid how people restrict themselves from playing games on a piece of electronics because they don't like the company name on the plastic casing.

As for me why the Xbox 360 is my least favorite - it has to do with their first party strategy and their reliability record. At the beginning of the generation, MS looked like they were really going to cater to jRPG fans like myself with Mistwalker. I never thought about buying an Xbox or Xbox 360 because I don't care for shooters. However, right before Blue Dragon came out, I decided to get one while the PS3 was slow to get things moving in terms of games.

Then MS just suddenly pulled out of the jRPG market when they cancelled Cry On (a game I was very much looking forward to in the lineup). Now they are back to shooters again with the new addition of the casual Kinect games. Both are genres I could care less about. PS3 has all the 3rd party games plus first party stuff that actually interests me.

That being said, I will still get an Xbox 360 next price drop just to have a machine for Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey because ToV doesn't look like it's making it to PS3 in English.



"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

Every fanbase has fanboys and trolls, people who hate other companies for absolutely no reason. That's nothing that has to be discussed IMO.
