I would say that it is virtually impossible to tell from what we know. Yes, we have many blatant Sony fanboys here, but how many actually just sat back and avoided commenting on the announcement? You're claiming a majority of something of which you have zero empirical evidence.
Basically what you post tells me is, "I'm generalizing a group, of which 90% are guilty"
My response, "You're talking out of your ass".
I really don't mean that in a malicious way, but you're just hauling statistics from nowhere but observations on forums and coming to absolutely absurd conclusions. Have a lot of the vocal fanboys on this site shown the behavior that you explain? Sure, I think so. Did 90% (or a majority) of Sony fanboys express this behavior? I have no idea and neither do you.

Now your talking cemantics about something that is obviouly apparent in the first place. It's like saying that because I don't have numbers to show you, that I can't claim the majority of African Americans will vote for Obama.
You have no ground to stand on, so you've instead focused on attacking me and my methods then to bother denying the argument.
You have to deny first, then attack. Didn't you learn anything in debate class?
Anyway, yes, you can't deny it, nor shall you. It's undeniable. I said the only evidence I needed was anecdotal, and that stands. No one could even bother denying my point with a straight face.
I might be talking out my ass, but at least I'm correct and on point. You're just trying to play a childish "gotcha" game with me, and to be quite frank with you, it's a laugh riot.

I don't even know where to begin! Firstly, this was no way an attack on you. I rather like your posts and often agree with most of what you have to say. You are actually quite defensive.
It's like saying that because I don't have numbers to show you, that I can't claim the majority of African Americans will vote for Obama. Terrible analogy... there is emprical evidence that suggests so. Not only that, but African American voters have typically voted democrat anyway. Have the majority of Sony fans heavily favoured Sony exclusives over multiplats? No! Simply look at the sales and you'll see that many of it's top sellers are mulitplats (6 of the top 10, actually or 14 of the top 20).
Semantics!? I fail to see where there is a misunderstanding (intentional or non-intentional) of any meaning of words here. Care to explain?
You have no ground to stand on, so you've instead focused on attacking me and my methods then to bother denying the argument. Are you kidding? The denial of your argument was both explicit and implied. Read my first line:
"I would say that it is virtually impossible to tell from what we know"
I would think that is denying your assertion of the majority of Sony fanboys thought as you claim. Again, I don't know where I attacked you, I'm actually quite non-confrontational.
You have to deny first, then attack. Didn't you learn anything in debate class? Read above. And really, is that comment completely necessary?
Anyway, yes, you can't deny it, nor shall you. It's undeniable. I said the only evidence I needed was anecdotal, and that stands. No one could even bother denying my point with a straight face. Why is the only evidence you need anecdotal? I'm sorry, but I've never heard anything so absurd, especially when you're being so genuinely sure about this. Also, we have absolutely no idea how many non-vocal PS3 fanboys there are lurking or posting on this site or elsewhere.
You're just trying to play a childish "gotcha" game with me, and to be quite frank with you, it's a laugh riot. No games Zen... honestly, this is just silly. Look through my post history if you'd like and find some instances where I 'play games' with people. I wrote my initial post with no expectation that you'd actually take it so personal, simply becasue it wasn't. Relax a bit. Yeesh.
