a hell of a lot of the ones filling the forums out there right now are that is for sure.

Out of curiousity, how does one come to the assumption that someone is a sony fanboy? It is just based on not liking a product that isn't Sony? I ask because if someone dislikes WiiU, they are a Sony fanboy. If someone doesn't like the XBox One, they are a Sony fanboy. I am pretty sure people here think I am a Sony fanboy, even though over the years I have been called a Nintendo fanboy and yes, even a Microsoft fanboy.

Me, I just see people who like or don't like a product, rather that making assumptions on brand loyalty. That or people who are influenced by their friends. Something that here in the US, if the high school crowd dislikes something, spreads like wildfire.

Check XBox.com forums. You have plenty of people with well over 50k Gamerscore bitching up a storm. By chance are they Sony fanboys in well created disguises made by playing a ton of games on a 360?

 

It's just that all week, anytime that any of us try to have a reasonable discussion, whether it be trying to figure out exactly how policies work, or how the used game and/or digital selling systems work we get posts saying that we are all just Sony fanboys trying to spread FUD or downplaying specific feature sets, with some of these people asking how we are not banned yet. Yes, banned for trying to have actual worthwhile and healthy discussions filled with well articulated posts. 

Now, even though I posted it here I don't really want to take the threads completely off its rails, so if possible I would appreciate if we could converse through wall posts.

 

Edit - This isn't a dig at you personally. I just am curious how this conclusion is a common occurence.

again.  you are reading my post the way you want to.  see my reply to kantor above.


3 people read it the same way, so obviously you need to explain your points better. In one post you say this:

 "Seriously, have you read that garbage. I think "gay" is used in about 90% of posts. They all also think halo is "gay" and a terrible game series. "

Then follow it up with this:

"It's just like many other forums right now, infested with Sony fanboys filling everything ms related with bile."

 

Is that not implying that those comments are "infested" with Sony fanboys?

 

So still the question remains. How do you come to the conclusion that these people are Sony fanboys? By default do 360 owners enjoy Halo?

the comment section is almost as bad as the comment section in tom chick's last of us review. The gaming community is a cesspool of idiocy, ignorance and stupidity. Best not to take da intranet seriously

You find those kinds of people outside of forums as well, lol. Just check a high school.

Well that seals it, if these guys of intellect and balance don't like it it must be bad.

Seriously, have you read that garbage. I think "gay" is used in about 90% of posts. They all also think halo is "gay" and a terrible game series.

So yeah, they are very objective aren't they. It's just like many other forums right now, infested with Sony fanboys filling everything ms related with bile.

 

When people say "gay" they usually mean "lame." I don't know if this is different in the UK, but it's the reality here in NA. Anyways, having an opinion about a game/series is purely subjective. Objectivity, for example, would be saying that 2+2=4.

Yeah, but that isn't really common usage amongst remotely intelligent and mature people.

How often do you see it used here?

You get banned here if you happen to 'insult' their favorite video game series.  Sorry, but it's a world of difference here.  This is one of the most sensitive communities I have ever took part in.  World Star Hip Hop couldn't be more different.  Personally, I prefer a nice balance within a community.  Ban the repetitive flame-war trolls,  not someone because they put a swear word in their response.

I think the trouble is that you're defining anyone who dislikes the Xbox One as a Sony fanboy and then working backwards to reach your conclusion.

Do you remember the GameSpot poll where some 87% of people chose the PS4 over the Xbox One? Are you implying that 87% of GameSpot readers are Sony fanboys?

People don't like the product. You like the product, and that's fine, but you need to stop pretending that every problem that everyone has with it is entirely irrelevant and not buying one is on par with kicking a puppy.


No. I'm not.

You are putting words in my mouth.

"most sony fanboys are shitting on the ONE left right and centre and at every opportunity"

does not mean

"all people shitting on the ONE are sony fanboys"

 

You've jumped to these conclusions before on things I have said


o.O this here clearly implies that you think a big majority of the people not happy with the xbox one indeed are "sony fanboys":

Would you be arguing for or against WSHH?

Trying to better understand the context of your post. If it is about not hating on that community for the way they speak then I am with you 100%.

Quote of the day: I'M W/ YOU, I USED TO FUCK WITH XBOX BUT FUCK IT

....



Love the quote. I tend to say but fuck it a lot sometimes. It could be mistaken for butt fuck it though. Not sure if I ever realized the play on words until I was called out for using the phrase by friends but fuck it.

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around how this sentence is structured and what i actually means, that place is ALMOST funny enough to be worth reading.



Means used to play on xbox but fuck Microsoft now. Just lazy ghetto typing.



kowenicki said:

Yes, because it is.  Thats not the same as ALL of them are.. is it?

Its very simple.

I have no idea why those 3 people all chose to read the comment the same way.

Which once again brings up back to the same question for the 3rd time.

 

How do you come to the conclusion that someone is a Sony fanboy?

I couldn't find anything noteworthy suggesting people weren't going to buy it. This thread just feels like an attempt to get hits on an unknown or unnoteworthy blog.
