I think this moves very much along with current trends in the market place. Sony support on these (and other) forums is so vociferous lately because the PS3 has recently gained a lot of momentum.

However it wasn't so long ago, when the PS3 wasn't doing so hot, that these (and other...) forums were full of "the PS3 is d00med!"

That being said, I think currently the loudest group (IMO) is the PS3 fan, hands down. Which is why I often comment on the 360 forums, to show the box some love. I don't hate the PS3, it just doesn't need any more advocates here.

Nothing personal here.  So I'm just pointing out that this post really fails because it makes so many pressumptions setting up a false picture.  First of all, there are fanboys in all camps in worst case scenarios.  Second fanboys boys are fanboys because of insecurities as a general, blanket statement.  But third, fanboys can still be truthful, correct because the truth is the truth regardless of its source.  During the PSOne days, N64 fanboys acted the worst.  During the PS2 days, Dreamcast, Gamecube and Xbox fanboys acted the worst.  Go figure why because it was the insecurities of those fanboys while PSOne/PS2 fanboys can easily hide behind the runaway sales and software selection of the PSOne/PS2.  But now, we have the Wii with runaway sales and a fair selection of quality software.  So it's easy for Wii fanboys to hide behind that.  You have the PS3 being in third, but it's no doubt that it's a thorn in the side/threat to the 360's 2nd place lead.  This is why it seems that PS3 and 360 fanboys are seemingly at each others throats.  And I just want to clarify that I'm only referring to the fanboys of those consoles and not to the actual gamers.

This almost makes me laugh as much as people who believe the whole "we won't do anything that goes against people smiling" BS that I think Iwata (my memory with names sucks.....but it's hte Nintendo CEO) said.

There are definitely Wii fanboys, and some of them are vicious just like the other fanboys......they just like to be more subtle.  Plausible deniability is the mantra of the Wii fanboy.  And no they are not as a rule all about love and peace.

Even though Nintendo is 1st this gen, there are still alot of fanboys cause...

1. Nintendo was last with the Gamecube and N64, so fans are glad now to rub in their #1 place in everyones faces.

2. Hardcore gamers that can afford an HD system (such as PC, 360, and PS3) dont care about the Wii, so Wii fanboys need to troll to get attention.

3. The Wii is marketed towards kids, families, the elderly, and casual players. And we all know how those 4 demographics like to talk trash! (j/k!)

The Wii doesn't allow for me to play games like Ratchet & Clank Future, Ace Combat 6, Siren: Blood Curse, Beautiful Katamari, The Elder Scrolls IV, Uncharted, Blue Dragon, Folklore, etc.  Please do not get so self-righteous because this too is a sign of fanboyism.

Fanboys are all the same be it from the sony microsoft or nintendo side all they see is there side
in my opinion they all suck, they are one of the reasons this industry is not taken very serious by the general public and i never take them serious

 ????

Are you serious?

You sure about that? As one of the only industries thriving throug the US recession, I think most investors, especially, beg to differ.

 Also, relentless fanboy bickering is what keeps gaming sites thriving. This is what causes most to visit the site thus helping them attract advertising dollars. Want proof? Why do you think gametrailers.com compares the 360 and ps3 versions of almost every multiplat game? Answer (if you didn't know): to attract the fanboys in droves.

man, is that the truth. I think the reason PS3 fanboyism is so bad right now is because PS3 fans were getting slammed, and I mean SLAMMED for a solid year-and-a-half, and now they have something to brag about. I'm sure the ball will swing back to the 360 fanboys after sales for that console take off in the next few weeks. Wii fanboys are annoying, but they're so few and far between (like PS2 fanboys last gen) that they don't end up being as noticable.

As far as fanboy behavior goes, here are the last and current-gen corrolations from what I have seen:

PS2->Wii

GCN-->PS3

XB-->360.

1.) The N64 was second, the Saturn was last.  The Gamecube was third, The Dreamcast was last.

2.) If you're implying that there isn't hardcore gaming to be had on the Wii, ask some Wii owners on this site.  I believe they would know more than someone who doesn't own one.

3.) It's marketed toward everyone, that's the reason why it's called "Wii" or "We."  It just seems to appeal MORE to those demographics.
