Just about anyone who has visited those guys in the Vita thread will tell you that they are probably the nicest bunch here on VGC. They know the system doesn't sell great, but they don't care. They have fun, they see a bunch of games being released or announced. They know that as long as the games come, the sales are secondary to them. It's a great community over there and there is a reason why it has grown to become so large. In fact it is larger than anything that has come before it on VGC. Very upbeat attitude in there. No gloom, no frustration.
Yeah they have a few guys who get a bit worked up, but the vast majority are not full of this pent up frustration you are alluding to.
In fact, in the last week we had a thread to complain about how mean the mods are to MS fans. Now we have a thread about how mean Sony fans are. How irrational they are. How they this and how they that. You name it, they've probably been labeled it.
You know what I haven't seen? A thread to complain about MS fans. A thread to complain about Nintendo fans. A thread to complain about how the mods are SO unfair against the Sony fans.
Know what I did see though? A thread by a Sony fan to complain about a select few Sony fans who make those predictions you are generalizing the entire Sony fanbase for making.
As for the OP and others thinking that all these Sony fans think the WiiU is a failure or a flop. Check Jay520's thread. It is a widely accepted belief that Sony fans are the majority on this site right?

His poll was 49 Yes, 41 No it's a MAJOR flop and 170 voting other because they obviously didn't believe it was a flop.
Which means that everyone should quit generalizing and move on. Grow thicker skin. Of course we will always have a select few in each camp who blow things out of proportion or enjoy getting under other people's skin, but those people are on all sides and it is in everyones best interest to just ignore it.
