I see way more pro Sony talk around here than anything. It seems like Sony>Nintendo and then Microsoft with the PC coming in last.

pretty much true since I joined, all I've seen is mostly pro good news Sony threads with moderate Nintendo/MS news, anything PC related gets largely ignored or downplayed to hell, makes me wonder if there will ever be a proper decent sized PC community if at all, XBE is already smallish and hardly wins any vote polls outside, Nintendo themed polls seem to win and then there's Sony themed polls where it becomes a landslide there.

I can't say I believe the "when console A is unpopular the fans flock here more often" as ringing true, Sony seems to be winning it this gen and I see more news and more talk from there end, sure there's Nintendo talk but it;s hardly all rainbows and sunshine.

Then there's PC articles that just sit there with hardly anything going on, there's even a PC game artcile VG posted a day ago and it's got nothing going for it, the only time PC ever gets a proper dicussion on here is when other platform owners feel threatened or upsurped in some way and hop in to downplay anything that platform has.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

You`d get a lot more streetpasses here, that`s for sure. Going to Pokemon Centers is always a fine breath of fresh air for 3DS users.

 

That sounds like the dream. I'd love to go to an area with a bunch of 3DS users and just collect streetpasses. There's nowhere in my area where that's possible, unfortunately.

Yeah, it is really nice. You can get a lot of pass just bringing it with you into the cities. You can get the most passes in Akihabara, but it`s the best when you go to TGS. That`s where I got the 100 passes in a day achievement. : D

Yeah, I agree 100%. I'm not a PC gamer, but my best friend is. If it weren't for him, I'd never know ANYTHING about what's happening on PC because it's always buried under console news. 

I think it's always been that way though, right? Ever since NES, consoles have had the mainstream while PC is more underground. Personally, I think I'd kind of like that. It's like, consoles are pop music and PC's... punk rock. It's an exclusive, small little club.



Cause PC was less exclusive than other consoles ...

Nintendo has been around for SOME time. They've gained a lot of fans and haters alike. They duke it out here. Well, not really but the forums aren't restricted to sales. Numbers themselves are interesting, but they aren't that interesting to drive an entire site.

In addition to that, it just depends on the time. Sometimes you see the forums saturated with Sony, sometimes it's Nintendo, more not than often, Xbox may show up. With PS and XB being so similar, there aren't many differences to talk about besides OS software...which isn't that exciting. It matters about content and even though Wii U isn't a big success, they do have a lot of exclusives that get a lot of attention from their respective fans.

Overall, it's a lot of stuff. Just make some Sony threads or something yourself to balance it out. Anyone can post after all...unless you're banned that is. XD

no games to play, look at the forum back in 2007 it was pretty much Sony this, Sony that



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

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


Even without the news, people actually like the WiiU more than the PS4. This is very contrarian to the general trend across the world.



If having lots of doom threads is beeing the home for Nintendo fans, then perhaps.

Its just popular to have a go at Nintendo, but not all of us see simply sales numbers in front of us. Actually, we have a pretty good Vita fandom aswell.

You do know you are just one guy right? your situation doesn't represent the truth for everybody, it's no secret the wii U isn't getting many games
