So we got kind of a Sony-Nintendo Cold war going oh eh?
With M$ just chilling out.

Chilling out in much the same way that Ariel Sharon is chilling out.



Around the Network

I've been lurking on this site since 2007 and the composition of posters has basically been the same.

Sony posters slightly over Nintendo posters if not the same with both being greatly above Microsoft posters

i don't think so.

2 PS fans are loader then a crowed of ninty fans, and MS fans happen to be very cunning.

MS and Sony fans are just loader.

@scottie: PS forums just have more to talk about. Nintendo still reigns supreme. all you have to do is make a thread about who has the better ip, or the most iconic ip, and ninty would do as they always do in those polls, and win.



As others have said Sony fans have ruled this site pretty much since it began.
Nothing has changed other than Sony fans now feel they will win the coming generation so their confidence is at an all time high. Thus leading them to be incredibly outspoken



ive been here a while and its always been 50/50 with sony and nintendo +/- 5 depending on sales. right now though, the only thing holding the nintendo fans on the site is the 3ds. no fan like to see their console doing poorly, and even less would post because of it.

Personally, i could care less though i just like talking about games mostly.



Around the Network

I've been around a LONG time (33 years old) so watching Nintendo slip and fall like this is nothing new to me. Hell, it was just yesterday when I was on the first Xbox, talking over live and telling people they should play Metroid Prime and having to endure the non stop ridicule.

Nintendo's released six home consoles and only TWO have dominated from start to finish. They're only 50% on consoles that won. So, to me? This seems more normal lol

Yes, you are wrong. Sony fans have accounted for the biggest portion of the active VGC userbase for most of VGC's life. It was only in 2006/early 2007 that Nintendo and Sony fans were present in about equal numbers while Xbox fans were always a minority.

The overall climate of VGC is strongly influenced by console sales. Any fanbase whose system(s) post low sales will lay low while in the opposite case they will go out of their way to brag. If you (as a Nintendo fan) think that things are hostile right now, because the Wii U isn't doing well, then you better not imagine what the state of these forums would be, if the Vita was doing well right now. With both, the Wii U and Vita, doing so bad it is kinda like an unwritten peace treaty, even though there's still the occasional battle.

I disagree. I think it is the opposite. This site is built on sales data. Sony has been in 3rd place and in the red for the entire generation. Sony has made a great comeback but it's nothing like the PS2 era. I think defeat may bring people here more than victory. Unfortunately defeat also brings the worst out of people and it shows up the most in fanboys who take it so personally. Those without complaint don't feel the need to complain, but those with grievance speak their mind.



The world may never know.



I don't really notice a change from the usual, but then again, I could just be getting more and more used to the endless crowds of Sony fans. After all, both of the message forums I've frequented (the now defunct Gamepro in the early 2000s and Vgchartz in the mid/late 2000s) have been notorious for their heavy population of hardcore Sony fans. I guess I've become immune. Though I will say, even though many of the Sony fans here tend to go a little overboard with hyping up everything Sony, at least most of them are not downright hostile to Nintendo and its fans like at that cesspool known as Gamepro, or if they are, they keep quiet about it.

It's generally been the case that Sony fans held the majority, but the Nintendo fans held a plurality of the leadership positions

The minority opresses the majority! Free the Sony-fans of the unjust rule of the Nintendo-fans! Revolution!
