Just an honest question 2-3 years ago, when Halo Reach, Forza Motorsport 4, and Gears of War 3 released, I was so alone as a Microsoft fan. Gran Turismo fans would consistantly insult Forza, nobody talked about Halo anymore, and people were suddenly meh about Gears. Plus with Kinect, 360 was a laughing stock, and I felt so alone being a Gears of War fan. I know 360 wasn't getting many exclusives for the last 3 years, but still.....

Where were you guys then?

When XBO was announced, the forums all laughed at Microsoft, every forum I looked into was full of threads talking about how MS is doomed with the XBO. Now that the system released, it's like sleeping Killer Instinct fans, and flocking to the new system.

Now when you go on forums, people are actually standing up for the XBO. People want Kinect, people miss the digital only system which would have killed the used game market, and people miss game sharing....but wth?

WHERE WERE YOU GUYS when 360 was lacking games? Where were you guys when RRoD was rampant? Did you guys hibernate the last 3 years? Are XBO fans all new gamers?

Please, someone explain this to me, it's weird seeing Microsoft fans on the forums at all.

I joined VGC in 2013, that's why.

But I'm an Xbox fan, not a Microsoft fan!

Yeah MS fan and xbox fan 2 different things. I am a Playstation fan but not necessarily a sony fan I am a fan of products no companies (Prob will have a wii-u or x1 some day too). BEing loyal to a company is just something that boggles my mind.

i know, they been gaining in numbers, we need to do something about it, and quick.

On a serious note, launch of new consoles brings out more posters imo.

Damn! I always thought you were one of those 2008? 2007? members, like Pie, Rol, and Kowen. You make my February 2013 start look horrible :(

Look it on the bright side: you spend your free time better than me. I keep wasting mine on VGChartz because this site is like a drug.

What are you talking about? I have been here 4 or 5 years...we're currently at the lowest level of Xbox-support on these forums I have ever seen...

Read my post history. I prefer Nintendo but the Xbox 360 was always my favorite 7th gen console. I'm no Microsoft fan, mind you. I just loved that console and the experience it gave me. I guess I don't count because I guess I'm a fan of everything, to a degree. Still, if it came down to only owning one console, I'd have kissed my Wii and PS3 goodbye. Hell, I love the 360 so much, I bought two for two rooms of my house and there were times when both were in use at the same time.

Don't get me wrong.  When a company fucks up, I don't just overlook it.  All three have their flaws.  You may see me bash the 360 and maybe even the Xbox one but I do it out of love.

This!

I use apple computrs and phones. I like xbox from the original, it pulled me out of nintendo's console grasp.

And I joined last month, or the month before that......
