@Onyxmeth: They're in last place, they came from complete domination (just 2, 3 years ago?) and hopes were high earlier in the year. Now it looks as if the PS3 is destined for last place, once again...

I don't think PS3 fanboys are all that different from many Ninty or 360 ones. The difference is, they have a whole lot more to bitch about this time around. We aren't going to see crying from the Ninty camp when third party support is slowly getting stronger, and they're raping the sales charts like they are now...

If this was the N64 vs PS1 era, things would be much different, I imagine.

Well, thank God I haven't mixed with that certain percentage of Sony fans and yes, I would vomit because of a severe laughing fit If I witnessed attempted suicides over FF XIII.

As long as their probs don't get so severe to the point where they cause certain games to be cancelled, I'm fine with them being 3rd.

Maybe so. It must be the change in status because I don't see 360 owners all that disappointed they are in second place. When they were losing out to PS3 most of of this year, I didn't see them making doom and gloom threads about it. If 360 did one day sink to third, I don't think the fans on this board would care all that much where it would affect their enjoyment of the console.

The 360 fans probably didn't start gaming with the Xbox. Hell, many PS3 fanboys likely were born and raised with the PS (well, you get what I mean), so there's a much bigger attachment in that sense... I mean, I can sorta understand, I'm fond of Nintendo (and Sega a bit) in that way.

Seeing the company/brand associated with video gaming fall from the top may make one a bit bitchy...

Sounds too much like a security blanket to me. That mentality should have been dropped by the time they were 10.

@Onyxmeth

I agree that 360 fans aren't so quick to post doom and gloom threads. However C0rd's comparison of PS3 fans to N64 era Nintendo fans seems dead on.
