I have openly stated my feelings against Sony, but not for the reasons most assume. Simply put, I cant stand PS3 fan fanatics. 1,) Every multiconsole forum on the internet is rife with near religious reverence to Sony/PS3, despite what real world statistics/numbers tell us. So when Sony makes a mistake, it brings me pleasure not that the company is failing, but it puts those fanatics in their place. That their snappy comebacks and Xbox venom get brought up short when Sony closes a studio or posts a quarterly loss. "If" Sony goes the Sega route in gaming, which I myself very much doubt, I always wonder what those Sony fanatics will say then. Where will be the RROD, Xbot, 360 has no exclusives smugness then? The internet will be a much better place. But for now, I am content with the day or two of their silence that gets bought when bad Sony news comes out.
But to answer your question, it brings me pleasure in general when cocky and smug people get whats coming to them. It helps me with the satisfaction that the gaming internet will be a better place for the rest of gamers.

I knew you'd show up. Anyway, few comments
1st bolded: Why does it upset you that the internet does not mirror the real world? Why do you care what the internet thinks? So a small group of the world favors a relatively niche product...so what?
Also, if you had a problem with the internet and the real world not matching, then you should really be talking to both PS3 fans AND 360 fans. Because as you can see, Nintendo has won this generation by a MUCH larger margin than the 360 beat the PS3. And Nintendo's internet presence is MUCH smaller than the 360's. Logically you should be putting PS360 fans in their place by reminding them that Nintendo is beast.
So clearly, it's not just you wanting the the internet to match the real world, you make your post based off of your own subjective tastes. That's way you promot XBOX WAAYY more than you promote Nintendo.
2nd bolded: I don't think that's the case. How has Sony fans been actingg more smug than any other fan. From my perspective, the percentage 'smugness' is pretty much even from all fanbases; it's just your biases that change what you see. You're more likely to notice a cocky Sony fan than you will a cocky Xbox fan, for example. But of course, I could be bias myself, so I can't say for sure.

It is irritating when people openly deny the facts in front of them. Your company is tanking by comparison, you have less games, less 70-90+ metacritic games, last place in sales, yet you act superior to everyone else. That kind of mentality disgusts me. I wish that people see what happens in the real world and act accordingly on the internet, or at least be more humbled.
I am not a Nintendo fan. Nintendo fans are good in my book because they do not have that smugness, despite winning the gen.
I am a Xbox fan with my own biases. Very perceptive. But putting Sony fans in their place benfits everyone, not just my camp. And obviously, my camp is the target of the Sony smugness and venom.
You openly deny that Sony fans arent the majority on the gaming internet then you have no business with threads like these. You adopt the were all equal approach, openly ignoring the trends. You dont have to look far beyond me to find people openly say how forums like N4G are infested by that crowd.
