Realistically it's about 50:50 between Sony and Nintendo users, so it's not that surprising.

I know Leoj, ht the rest are just mentioned here and there. Nintendo gamers pushed them away. Djmeister was so badly beaten he went to neogaf and betrayed us. The others never could fully return. Now that same thing is happening with Nintendo gamers. Vic_Viper was a huge Nintendo supporter. The Prof, a Sony gamer pushed him away. I guess it had to come to an end someday. |
Wait wait..
There was a crazyman before me?
Pretty sure its been proven many times over that Sony and Nintendo fans are largely equal on this site.
Its MS and PC that are the under-represented groups.
Currently Nintendo fans haven't much to say due to WiiUs lackluster beginning to 2013 while Sony fans are going ape-shit crazy over 8GB of ram.

Two, actually. One with two Z who had a bad reputation and one with two N who was only somewhat active and reasonable. =))))) |
Maybe that's why I've gotten a few snide private messages before which I had no idea what they were about.
Thanks.

I think normally if a person is critical of a certain console they get called a hater and fanboy. Of course the opposite applies to Rol because life's fair like that.

Whoa what the heck? How did you know I even made a comment about you within seconds of me commenting? Do you have some kind of algorithm in place that alerts you whenever a comment about you is made across the forums?
Be scared people...be very scared...because Rol is watching you all.

Well thats the problem. This marathon aint over yet. Nobody has crossed the finish line, nobody has give in. |
Marathons have both starting lines and finishing lines. We happened to have crossed a finishing line late last year. When Nintendo kicked off a new generation. Effectively ending the previous generation. The fact that Sony and Microsoft are milling around back at the starting line. Doesn't change the fact that the last race is over and a new one began. It is really oxymoronic to imply that you can move the finishing line after someone has already won the race. Now that was the argument against that logic, and here is why that doesn't even matter now.
The entirety of the community has now made the generational shift. Nobody talks in terms of a next generation anymore, because the current generation not only became real to a lot of people with the announcement of the PS4, but the sales of the Wii U have been so attrocious. That many a Sony fan figured that they couldn't win unless they were in. They needed to embrace the current generation to hype the PS4, and to get their licks on Nintendo, but in doing that they validated the existence of the market, and in doing so locked in the previous one.
I can see why they wanted to make the transition. A victory over Nintendo in the current generation seems all but insured, and has the advantage of being just plain indisputable if it comes to pass. Whereas trying to draw out the generation to gain a victory over Microsoft. Amounted to playing against supremely long odds. Sony still had to make up over a million in sales, and the price cutting hatchet was firmly in Microsoft's corner seeing as the 360 is long overdue for one. The idea not being a good one to start with just didn't have any real chance of panning out. Especially with sales dropping year over year. While the PS4, and the 720 are likely to start sapping core sales from the sales of those platforms in the next few months.
Please accept this as your personal invitation to the current generation, and let go of the past generation. It is what it was. I think you will like it here in the current generation, because new things are happening every day. Things that are strange, wonderful, and surprising. Look over there it is a Nintendo fanboy, and he doesn't understand why the Wii U is selling poorly. You desperately want to explain it to him. Come on you know you want to. Let go of the past, and just embrace the present. I bet you can beat him up, and take his lunch money. Come on you know you have wanted to do it for years. Everyone else is doing it. Don't you want to be cool.

LOL. Rol makes constructive critic and if he feels like writing some more he also writes that he hopes Nintendo get their stuff together.
This site has been occupied by a bulk of Sony-Fanboys since years.
But the comments from the Pro-Nintendo-Writers are more thoughtful and memorable (lower Bro-Gamer percentage on the Nintendo fraction) than from the other fans, that is why you think that the Nintendo-Fraction rules this site.
