Forums - Gaming - PS3: Stronger than ever (Games)

I know I should just move on but I'm bored at work for the next 12 hours. I just wanted to ask this question to a PS3 fan:

What do you imagine a 360 fan (or any fan that owns a different console than you) does when they see a thread like this?

Do you imagine they look at their consoles and give a sigh of disappointment? Do you think they say to themselves, "Man, I wish I could play some Ratchet and Clank right now...". Do you wonder why they purchased an undersupported console like the Xbox 360 when the PS3 clearly has more games? I mean, the PS3 costs about the same and has certain features like Blu-Ray and free online. Why would anybody in their right mind play games on 2005 hardware like an Xbox? Surely, they look at the PS3 with envy in their heart, right? And just in case they don't, you're there to make them realize how wrong they were to buy what they thought was a great console.

I don't get it. It's not an unbreakable bond like marriage. It's a game console. Anybody that wants one can get one, right? And if they don't want one or they're happy with their console, that's cool too, isn't it? So what good comes from naming a bunch of games that many either:

A.) have never heard of
B.) have never cared enough to play a prior game in the series
C.) would never buy even if they owned the console

I'm at a loss, here. Help me out. This need to gloat, be envied, or feel superior simply smacks of insecurity. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I've read too much into this thread. Oh, and Game of the Year is spelled: B-A-T-M-A-N.


PS3 fans can't celebrate the sales of their games (every PS3 game flops), so they contemplate by celebrating, almost to a point of bragging, about the quality of their games (PS3 games are usually well-recieved).

I don't mind the bragging about sales, reviews, or graphics.  It's the "Wow, the PS3 is doing so well!  Poor Xbox owners must be jealous--oh, and I own both consoles so I'm not biased." attitute that gets to me. 

 

I own all of the consoles, too ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TgMX4JIOLQ ).  I don't see the PS3 dominating my living room and I don't see the need to knock one console to build up another.  If the PS3 is doing well, focus on the good of the PS3.  No need to drag the 360 into it unless we're doing one of those "Which console is going to perform better and why" type threads.  But it's no big deal.  Like someone else pointed out, every side does it.  It's not just the PS3 fanbase.



I know what he means, it's a shame to see everything about the console get stronger yet the sales don't reflect it.

Still, it's a good time to be a gamer for everybody, well mostly everybody. The greatest games that are being released in the coming months are mostly multiplatform.
