Anyone else see the irony in this poster?Hes saying ps3 fanboys put him off... Him saying such ridiculous things is kinda putting me off to the 360. That's not the reason why im not buying one though.

I guess in part I wanted to point out 360 fans overall have been far more zealous. They could be found on nearly every forum spreading the Microsoft gospel.

As the PS3 reaches new milestones in the coming years I expect PS3 fans to want to point out the abuse they had to endure was unfounded (people calling them to be stupid, blind followers, etc).

For one thing, don't let peer pressure get to you, OP!

However, it's odd that no one advocates a "one console per generation" practice on gaming forums in this gen, even though it's rampant in the previous one.

It's as if people on other forums (not this one) are Sony biased (or anti-Nintendo) since most gamers first went to talk things out in forums when the first PS was trashing the N64 in sales.

No, I don't give a shot what someone says about a product (unless someone I know and trust that shares my tastes tells me something is shit) and buy what I like regardless of who approves of it or not. Why would anyone care anyway?

First thing you learn dont listen to the fanboys.. I look at objective opinions, reviews and articles to make my gaming and console purchases. I also look at what my firends are buying or have bought.

Each generation is a new slate for me started with NES and then SNES jumped off nintendo and went PS1 then PS2 jumped off Sony and went 360.

Each generation I look at the system, price, features, benefits, exclusives, online, extra and make my determination. I am happy to say I have been happy with every console

I think everyone can agree the Sony fanboys are the worst kind, but come on, don't let fanboys of any kind influence you! The PS3 is a nice console, as is any of the other two this gen.

 I actually find the insecure 360 fanboys and the smug ass wii fanboys a lot more annoying.

Hahahaha LOL!!! nice one. I see what you did there

I cannot agree with that, all fanboys are equally pathetic imo. Wii fanboys are just better at subterfuge and 360 fanboys are relatively few so they don't stand out so much. They are all, like I stated above, equally pathetic though. Trying to be smart about being an ass doesn't make being an ass any better.

Nah. Fanboys can say what they want, I buy a machine to play the games. Games are a different story, though. Sometimes if a game so bloody overhyped I just refuse to get it. Maybe it's spite, maybe it's because the experience will only be a letdown if I get caught up in the hype machine. But consoles themselves rarely disappoint me, and even if they do, I have no problem playing the others.
