Where have you been? It`s a fairly even divide among Sony and Ninten. There are a fair share of both, and the Ninten ones are a mixture of good and bad discussions. Perhaps it`s because of current events that discussions are filled more of one group over another, but it doesn`t seem so one sided on the site.

As for the Xbox fans, I guess they`re a quieter group? Where are you Xbox fans? o:

They're in Xbox Empire, for the most part. Which is a shame since most of the Xbox fans I've seen around the forums seem really nice and constructive in conversations. Wish more of them would join in (we don't bite hard).

Yeah, it seems a little odd we don`t see many Xbox fans in the discussion. I don`t know many, but the few I have chatted with seem like cool people.

Maybe they just prefer to stay out of the battles and just let things be. A smart and more enjoyable thing to do if that`s the case.

I have to wonder if it was like this before the XBO's reveal (and subsequent E3). I'm sure that polarized a lot of people.

Agreed on the second point.

But 3ds ARE selling like hotcakes.
Plus there's a lot of excitement around Nx.
VGC is made for this type of sales speculation. Whenever there is news of a possible new console, activity explodes on here. It's not just Nintendo, but that Nintendo is making a lot of interesting strategical news.

Well a lot of the xbox fans seem to just be in the xbox nation and there are plenty of Sony threads when Sony gets some news too... The difference atm is that Nintendo is getting great news as well as some eh news at the sametime so we see more Nintendo threads atm while PS has been a bit quite at of late. The late sales don't help either

Oh and sales =/= forum popularity

Also this. The Vita thread is like the second most popular thread on vgc.

Xbox fans have always been quite sparse on this site. Even when thee was a sizable community back I'm 08/09 they were a minority

Yeah, I wonder too. I didn`t follow the threads then, so I wouldn`t know very well. I wonder if they they were more active then.

I don't understand this. The 3DS is selling amazingly, and the Wii U is selling like shit, and Nintendo is called a failure. The PS4 is selling amazingly, and the Vita is selling like shit, and Sony is called a success. Don't they cancel each other out?

 

I'd never say that. I'd say Sony is successful with consoles and a failure with handhelds. I'd say the opposite for Nintendo.

I agree. But a lot of people seem to have the mindset of what I wrote, and I just don't get it.

Maybe it's because most gamers put more stock into consoles? I've thought about it myself and that's all I can gather.
