No time to read all of the posts but here's my theory. If people bash the Wii, Wii owners always have the "well just look at the sales charts arguement", so they don't let it get to them. If you bash an Xbox owner, they have the "well my software library is bigger than yours arguement".

When people bash PS3, their only defence is subjective arguement about why their system is better than the others, but no really solid defence that can be corroborated by data. So it bugs them that people can't see things from their point of view.

It may also be that there is a little more venom in the PS3 bashing due to the Nintendo and Xbox fans being on the receiving end for the last two generations....

I think you are spot on about everything except the bolded part.  There is no quantitative reason why the PS3 is better than the other two consoles, but there are quantitative reasons why the other two consoles are better gaming solutions than the PS3.

As for the bolded part, I think you have got it the wrong way around.  I think a large number of PS3 owners bought their console in the belief that Sony would dominate as they have the past two generations.  They either were unaware that this wasn't happening, or convinced it would happen shortly.  Such gamers become immensly frustrated when confronted with the Wii's continued dominance and only a minor PS3 week-to-week sales advantage over the 360.

Quite aside from the PS3's higher price point, many PS3 owners feel a far greater need to justify their purchase to others, due to the fact that said purchase was made with the anticipation of continued Sony gaming dominance that simply hasn't eventuated.  Owners of the 360 and the Wii on the other hand, generally paid less for their console, and bought it knowing full well that dominance was unlikely due to the console's respective predecessors being trounced by the PS2.

We should all feel at least some level of sympathy for Sony fanboys due to these points, as it must be incredibly frustrating for them. 


 im sorry starcraft but this is complete trolling.

PS3 owners have no reason to justify buying their purchase jsut like 360 owners have no reason to keep dealing with M$ customer support for their RRODs.  They enjoy their console of choice.

I am admittedly a Nintendo Fan, but definitely not a fanBOY. :p

Nintendo really messed up during the N64 generation, I gladly switched over to the Playstation1 and eventually got a cheap N64 when it had already lost (for a few games I wanted, still trying to find Ogre Battle 64!). During the 6th gen era I also got a PS2, but I quickly also got a Gamecube, I enjoyed it much much more than the N64, but my PS2 was still by far my primary gaming console (excluding multiplayer games).

But with the PS3 I'm simply left lacking. I still enjoy good graphics, but I don't want them to sacrifice so many other aspects of games either. For my OWN opinion, the PS3 lacks the games I want (and bought on the PS2), disagreeable design choices (the blu-ray drive requiring hard drive installs, removed backwards compatibility), and an extensive price tag (I'm only interested in gaming, the media center/linux functionality is useless to me).

I'd never say that the PS3 couldn't satisfy other people, but for me it certainly does not. Oh, and I do plan on getting a PSP Slim when I have the funds (although my DS will still be my main mobile gaming platform!). ;)



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

Seriously, which part of my post was trolling? I said in general, SOME ps3 owners feel a causal need to justify their purchase due to misconceptions as to the potential for the PS3's dominance this generation.  This is especially apparent when one considers that the Xbox and GC were destroyed by the PS2.  I bought the Wii to play old Nintendo favourites, and would never have felt the need to justify it beyond that.  It's success is a bonus.  PS3 owners often bought their console anticipating the sort of exclusive third party support and sales dominance the PS2 got and it just hasn't happened.

I might add that if you seriously consider what I said to be trolling, then responding with "M$" and "Rrod" is a perfect example of you, a mod, responding to trolling with trolling.

 The gaming world think is overpriced, thats why we saw very low sales at launch, a nice improvement with the 40Gb model, and now everybody expects another pricecut...

i am a ps3 fan, but the 360 gets the most bashing because theydont have the hardcore fans nintendo and sony have. It's just easier to bash the 360 right now. If you dare sayany thing about the wii or the ps3, just be prepared to get ambush.
