i'm going to list off the phases i've seen since i've been on this site:
punching bag = 360 for RRoD. punching bag = ps3 for $599 punching bag = wii for casual games punching bag = wii for massive sales drop aka fad punching bag = ps3 for psn hack punching bag = 3DS for no games at launch punching bag = ps vita for shit-tacular sales and no games punching bag = wiiU for shit-tacular sales and no games punching bag = xbox one for anti-consumer policies
...my only question is why are xbox fans so sensitive? sony and nintendo fans weathered their shit storms with far more grace.

Every Xbox article Sony fans have to drop their sourness on'em.
Youtube,Facebook,GSpot,IGN,NeoGaf,Eurogamer, to the ∞...
I mean they're more sensitive to our issues than we are. Ofcourse Sony fans gonna weather their issues better because you barely see Xbox fans go on a juvenile rampage on every social media outlet to diminish PS just to feel good about themselves. PS: I'm not saying there's no Xbox fans trolling.
All the trolling, flamebait and disrespect during MS's initial policy reveal was desnecessary for example. MS didn't even bother until Xbox customers apparently refrained from pre-ordering X1 and consquently they changed their policies.
It's not about being sensitive, it just gets old all the childish behavior.

As BanannaKing said, there's way too much "woe is me", people playing the victim. If look on websites, youtube or anywhere there is also a group of people slating Sony/Nintendo all the time. I mean look at the negative stuff the press have been doing about Sony last week, or the brushing under the carpet of resolution differences, and no MP3 on PS4 is suddenly a bigger issue for these sites. So don't think its all one sided, as it aint :)
None of this is exclusive, the only problem some people have is that MS screwed up big time with their launch (sure no one will disagree with that).. .and these gamer floaters who have no hardware allegience have slated MS (as well as everyone else).. and people are getting upset because too many people are slating them.
So, do i agree that it has got out of hand a little, yeah, but it's on all sides. Do i think MS deserves a little payback, well i think the pre-order, the backtrack proves this is not just Sony fans, and I think people need to come to terms with that, rather than using the victim card.
MS screwed up = lots more people hating on MS != Sony fans causing trouble
But just because they changed their policy, doesnt necessarily mean they get a free bus ride into town. Also why should people just start to trust them again, they need to earn the trust back like Sony had to in 2006. It's going to take a lot of hard work and alot of 1st party made games/good policy before people will be happy again. Is that unfair? I dont think so.
