Interesting that 16 Nintendo fans have voted but only 8 Sony fans. Tell me again how this website is dominated by Sony fans people.

Then there's that 1 token MS fan


Give it time, Pezus. Most europeans are sleeping now, but in america it's still awake time. Those numbers will probably change a lot when america goes to sleep and europe wakes up.

So far Nintendo fans have picked Sony as the worst, MS fans have picked Sony fans as the worst, and Sony fans are split between picking MS and Nintendo fans as worst.

It's still early but this is starting to suggest that Sony fanboys hate everybody and are hated by everybody. That's a lot of hate going back and forth with Sony fanboys.

To be honest and fair. I would have to say everyone that is not Nintendo. They want Nintendo on their systems, but cannot justify buying a Nintendo system for lack of third parties. And they all hate Nintendo for it.

Very good point! EX of this SSB



I think one more option - "I'm a PC fan and fuck everybody else" - needs to be edited in. ;D

I have a theory. Sony fanboys or fan are the most bitter because they have been in third place for years. Every year they say its gonna be their year but it never comes. Plus their exclusives are never popular except for a hand full. Plus they envy the competition.


i have a losghtly different theory. Sony fans have been humbled over the last few years, myself included, and we theeefore troll the least as a whole though there are still a few who go overboard. We also react very negatively because we feel dumped on by everyone.

Personally i dont see any specific group as being the worst.



Around the Network

As far as which one is full of the most hate, I'd say they're about the same. Its important to mention that not all fanboys are bad. It just gets annoying when they start passing judgement on things which they have not experienced, or pass judgement on something they have experienced but have a clear bias against (and then try to pass this off as some sort of objective assessment).

I'd also say this equally applies to people praising games they have not even played (especially with the prevalence of pre-release reviews). I personally think a lot of people, especially fanboys, go into games planning to either like or hate them, and playing the games just confirms these expectations.

Just for reference, I'd probably be classified as a Sony fan (I almost exclusively play on my PS3) although I don't really consider myself a PlayStation fan....PS1 and PS2 generation are a different story though.

There are plenty of threads that have polls that Sony fans flocked to more than Nintendo fans.

Except that your poll options effectively eliminate anybody with a moderate view : )

I have a theory, as well.  Most of the bigger US gaming news sites I've frequented have been dominated by Xbox fanboys.  Articles about Sony usually have at least a few "lol halo is beter lol" comments.  However, most of the forums I've visited seem to be in the control of either Sony or Nintendo or in a power struggle between the two.

Thus I've concluded that Xbox fanboys are, in general, the least literate.  Does that also mean they're the less intelligent group?  I'll leave that call up to the audience.

I think actually the hard core PC gamers are. Nobody has perfected the superior/condescending attitude quite like them. I'm a PC gamer but I really doubt any group really compares. Nobody else has the special combination of arrogance, superiority and exclusiveness of a hardcore PC gamer. I'm not saying that hardcore PC gamers are all like this but the few who are really take the cake.


I blame console gamers, they are constantly saying how expenive, hard and how much hassle it is to be a PC gamer. Which makes it easy for some PC gamers to lose perspective and start to think that all console gamers must be poor, lazy, retards in comparison. As to actual PC gamers it's all easy and to them the investment in hardware is worth it. 

I mean the PC master race clearly can't be at fault as we are all perfect lol, So it must be those nasty jealous console peasants that are at fault. Now I'm off to laugh at people that play console games while jacking off to tech demoes.
