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.

Bolded line sums it up perfectly. Even the 360 had decent support going that holiday it unexpectedly conquered the PS3 in weekly sales.

Also the impression I got from this thread (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=151447) was that Nintendo fans were still in the majority.

Sony has the most people on here with the most to talk about because Sony does more than the other companies. Nintendo is second cause the 3DS is super successful and they got Mario to boast about. MS well they rule the US market and have cross game chat but other than that they do not really have much to talk about.

When I got here, practically every other thread was about the Vita. It was a pretty hateful atmosphere, I thought. I won't lie, it really did bug me to see some Nintendo fans say that they loved that the Vita was failing, like that one guy who would post that in all the sales threads, or the other one who was always posting about "karma".



Since the Wii U's troubles, though, things seemed to have calmed down somewhat. Increased feelings of empathy, perhaps.



The major hot button topic seems to be Live, though that's always been the case throughout the internet. I think PS+ has given the Playstation crowd new ammunition, along with the PS4 announcement.

Karma will take revenge!!

 i  have been forbiddin to say anything bad about nintendo, and the only thing i argue about is it's graphics cabablity and that's it's gonna fail in sales which is happening at the moment, i guess it all depends what boards you go too, neogaf and gamespot let's you get away with bashing wiiu but here if i say wiiu is selling horribe, i get banned, in some thread's nintendo fans would throw personal insults and i would be still be the one getting banned, so i guess sony fans here know this and keep quite, cause of a certain mod here that loves nintendo.

The psychological analyses people give on here are truly mind boggling. If you see a problem then address it there, instead of complaining about it later on.

Oh dear. You're back.

What happened to the GameFAQ forums?

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.


Loader?

If I remember correctly, It´s always been Sony > Nintendo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MS.

It was fun.. crazyman, mikeb and rock on with their predictions for the PS3, while we had john lucas and Avinash with their predictions for the Wii.

Isn't that all you ever say about Nintendo?

I can see the problem. Even I say occasionally say not-bashy things about Sony and (much more rarely) Microsoft.
