Meh, that's vgc.

Exactly.

Im not asking everyone to agree or like MS but if theres a thread about a cool Xbox Live sale or discussion about what Rare could be developing next we dont need half the thread devolving instantly into XBOX LIVE IS A RIPOFF or Rare Suck and only makes baby games.

But that bolded part is not the truth (In the sense that it means everyone merely play shooters). Every single Ps3 owner I know from Spain only have Call of Duty and Fifa, but implying that every single Ps3 owner is merely a shooter/sport gamer because of that is far from truth.

He believes your post, which is 100% true, means nothing because of your history. That is my guess.

Just ignore it.

I assume you are talking about Jay520 with his thread about all fans are the same.  

While that is true numbers make things look worst which is something you all seem to be ignoring.  I still think people should just play games and stop focusing on who makes the console.  Developers are more important to me than Sony/MSFT/Nintendo.  They all have amazing games on their consoles and all of them have cons but some people ignore both of those things and instead praise one console and then bash another.

As far as the Vita goes, it may not be successful but it is still a good piece of hardware with potential.

I think thats because of the size of the respective userbases. There will be more discussion in a Nintendo thread, because of the number of Nintendo gamers. The usual troll posts will be drowned out and shot down easily. The problem in Xbox threads is simply because there arent enough people in comparison to the other fanbases. The trolls are on the same level, but the discussion isnt large enough to drown them out and shoot them down.

The best thing the Xbox gamers could do, is ignore and report the usual suspects while continuing discussion. It will take time, but it will be worth it.

Seems you forget Sony/MSFT/Nintendo are developers themselves, their respective fans should care about them as well.

This sums it up nicely. Karma is a bitch !

I think some people's reactions in that XBL thread were ridiculous, that was an example of serious thread derailment and stupidity from a small number of Sony fans. A lot of the time though, Microsoft warrant the hate they get. You can't expect people just to sit there and remain quiet every time Microsoft makes a bad decision. I could repeat half of those sentences in the OP and say with a straight face that I haven't said anything wrong or offensive, I would just be giving an honest criticism. Another problem is there aren't enough Microsoft fans to drown out negative comments, so hating will seem far more prevailent than it is in the Sony and Nintendo section. At least nobody is collectively insulting Microsoft fans, hey?

This all will change in April, MS is just being a victm of generation fatigue, and Rare is having a hard time trying to relive their glory days,
However, if MS bring their big guns, and I think they will, in April, this all will change. The hollodeck (Ilumiroom) thing alone could make me buy the 720 if it is as cool a it sounds. Also, I am sure the specs will be impressive.
Now, it looks bleak, but everything will be about MS after April. And, XboxLive is down on prices, maybe the new console will rethink this issue too.

Also, Sony better have some aces up their sleeves, going first is great, but there is always the danger of being forgot first.
All and all, Nintendo seems to be the easier of the bunch to bash, their new console is out and not everyone is impressed, so, expect to see some criticism towards them through the year.
But, next month MS will make all haters speechless, so, hold on.
