You do realize that sony Fanboys only exist becuase Microsoft Fanboys were relentlessly agressive in their hatred towards our console, right? there were Xbox Fanboys long before Sony Fanboys had any need to say anything, due to them being on top for so long. Playstation sucks, PS3 has no games, PSN sucks, PS3 is too expensive, etc, all mantras borne of the Xbox crowd declaring 'victory' over their perceived rival. before all that stuff happened, Sony fans just didn't give a shit, as far as I could tell. I heard a bit of a fight between the 64 and PS1, but it was relatively tame. Granted, the PS3 HAD no games for the first couple years of its life, andit was too expensive, but that lasted only 2-3 years before it got turned around and now the PS3 is the best bang for your buck, has more reliable hardware, PSN is free, and has the best blend of exclusive and multiplat games of the three major consoles. We're elitist becuase we're right. Of course, that doesn't mean you HAVE to agree, you are entitled to like or hate however you please, but the math doesn't lie. PS3 and Xbox 360 are so close overall that there is no strong argument one way or another who's 'winning', not to mention the PS3 has all the multiplats that are on 360 AND on wii (not a lot of games shared between Wii60, but some decent PSWii multiplats and a LOT of PS360 multiplats), as well as being just a shade below Wii for exclusives and well above the 360, and well above the Wii for digital and just a shade below the 360 for digital distribution. It's the most balanced of the consoles, with two major bonuses: Blu Ray and free online play that actually works. The funny thing is, I don't hate any consoles, look at my signature, but there's no doubt the PS3 is the best of the systems, and the only reason PS3 fanboys look horrible is becuase of how aggressively they had to fight back against Xbox 360 fanboys early this generation. And yet the public perception is STILL that sony is a horrible company and every minor slipup they have is supposedly further proof of their corporate evil, yet other companies make equally huge blunders and people just don't give a shit. There's a bit of an uproar on specialized websites for about a day or two before dying down, but if Sony delays a feature or takes away something that nobody's using, and there will be HELL to pay. I repeat, Sony fanboys are only the worse becuase they get the most hatred and judgement, therefore they have to fight back the hardest. |
Just answering the quesion. Your view, however correct or incorrect simply adds fuel to my view. I try my best to judge each case on it's merrit of fanboy hysteria but believe me I've been jaded over the years from VGchartz with some absolute moronic members some I doubt can even contemplate rational thought in everyday life. All of which were from PS3 fanboys, I'm yet to here that psychotic "I'm rightness" from a Microsoft fanboy ever, sure they talk smack, bullshit, make stuff up, but these type of fanboys are generally just immature, silly numptees.
The PS3 fanboys tend to have more sever personality disorders. They see the PS3 as a way of life, a religion, an idol.
OK I'm talking shit now, but you know where I'm coming from. :p
You sound just a tad like a recovering one of these, over the hump but deep down inside there is a part of you that is holding onto the past ;)
I have no alliegence, well I'll be honest I kinda used to I suppose but that was all down to my distaste of the Sony fanboys.
If you took the branding out of a fanboys post I could tell you which console they support, so replace the game names in the game list with X and the companies etc with X and I will tell you without fail if it's a Sony fanboy or a Microsoft fanboy, at least on VGchartz, I've got a taste for it here.
Easy enough to do, I think we should have like a competition, would be great everyone can take part. Then we can throw away this silly political correctness where it's somehow wrong to state one console's fanboys are worse than anothers.
...I don't doubt any of what you say, mind you. The whole problem is that we are talking about consoles so it doesn't matter who insulted who, but it does matter when people are being irrational imo at least. Sony fanboys = irrational megalomania complex. Microsoft fanboys = silly fools.
I hope I'm not treading on ice saying this.
