Honestly the pro Sony on these boards is down right laughable

I have both consoles but immediately when I say 360 is in my opinion better, I get flamed....
Like I said laughable!


Exactly. I got flame on this site more times then any other site I'm on. I don't know why it bother the Sony fans so much that other people like M$ or Nintendo, I never get that at all.

Don't post much or even update my own profile on this site anymore. Just play games on said xbox and only come here to check on newest sales or occasional news. This is my yearly post.



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

Funny you'de say that, in the 5 years i've been visiting this site i've noticed that the worst kind of fanboys often bring up the story of having all or multiple consoles just as a cover to start bashing the other side.

So damn obvious it's hilarious i tell ya.

Yeah, I've been playing Video Games for 25+ years and spending thousands of dollars on all gaming systems to use as a cover up in a war between fanboys. Good one. lol

0_o it's called a joke. one with so much hyperbole it really shouldn't give you trouble to see it. and no I don't think anything at this point will improve the quaity moderation :) (which is the point btw...stop 'un'-warranted moderations.not the other way around) Axum already knows what I think

and yep Happy holidays to you too

I thought jokes were meant to be funny? It's the same thing I said above to SaberSaurus, except that bananaking has a history. Defending everything as a joke does not make it any less moderatable. And I'm keeping an eye on users who use this "tactic" and have a clear member from each fan base in mind as we speak that I plan on confronting on this. 

badgenome does this right. His jokes are funny and so outlandish you know they are jokes. Though you can bet that if he flames a fanbase and it isn't funny, we'll be on him like d21's porn on a used 3DS.

it was a clear and obvious joke with no intention of starting anything, anyone who would have replied to me and thought i was serious i would have explained that it was a joke right away as well. and what is my history? i got banned once for saying my opinion but admittedly i said it in a too harsh manner, but that was it. is my history that im sarcastic and joke in my posts? i've seen much worse posts and threads that my post in the past couple of weeks than anything i've posted. and since when was it that when a user jokes he gets banned or not depending on how funny his joke was? 

your the mod here of course and you deal with this stuff not me, so your judgment is better of course. though im just saying it was a clear joke and if you would have asked me to edit it i would have right away

 

and to post something on topic im guessing that the fan base is lower on the site because sony and nintendo were in the indusrty longer than MS so there fans are probably bigger in age and are more likely to post in forums because of their bigger age



I'm a massive fan of the Xbox, just because people don't explode in the blind rage when some game for it flops doesn't mean they are less of a fan just means they probably also didn't buy that floppy game along with the rest of it's users :D I think the OP is asking will there be more outright rage machine Xbox fans like Sales2099 and I hope that doesn't happen, not that I don't absolutely love his posts but if they were common place they would be less unique and amazing!

Around the Network

Most traffic is from North America and UK. 360 turf.......

Youd think 360 gamers should be the majority but instead Sony fans are and for 360 you just have the few zealous fans such as myself.

360 gamers just play. The numbers say it for themselves like Halo 4, Minecraft, and COD for a few prime examples. PS3 game sales in 2012 were very low, hell they all are more or less on par with JUST Halo 4.

It all boils down to the bronze medal. 360 gamers just game. PS3 gamers need that reassurance that their tastes and console are amazing. So they flood the forums to create a false sense of majority opinion.

This isnt vgchartz Spain, Japan, or whatever country PS3 is dominant in. This site is for North American and UK gamers mostly. For 360 gamers to be a minority just tells me that they really see no reason to validate themselves...because they allready won.

Lol no i just mean more xbox fans

 

Look at the recent vote on most anticipated games.  Ps3 games got like 4x as many votes as any 360 game.  There is actual graphs that show how small the 360 community is here.  There are a few 360 posters who post a lot making it look like theres a decent amount but there are probably only 10 actually active on a regular basis users here whose preferred console is the 360

That's a possible explaination, but then again another one is just that 360 fans as a group have a lower literacy rate.  That would also account for their lacking numbers on these forums.  

edit: makes me sad that I have to explicitly state this, but the point of the above post is that you can come up with all kinds of stupid and untestable theories based off the data "less 360 fans on gamrConnect", and my obviously untrue theory actually has the same "proof" to it that Sales' does.

Since 360 and PS3 have near identical libraries and demographics, I doubt that. Hope that was a joke response. Frankly I dont think 360 gamers are the forum type.

Well considering how lackluster ps3 exclusives seem to do, I think most fanboys spend their days arguing rather than actually supporting their respected console with purchases.
