I'm a PS3 owner and supporter and I get peeved for a number of reasons ^^

There are a select few people out there who make us all seem batshit crazy for one, with insane sales predictions, harshness towards the opposing consoles, and varous other oddities :P Which is fine ^^ I admire your enthusiasm! However... because of these select few, us more normal PS3 supporters that simply hope for the best get typecasted into many categories I don't agree with at all, and the mentality continues throughout the message boards, taking volleys from all the other "fanboys".

For some reason, there seems to be an aggressive push against people who have high hopes for sales of a game, even going so far as saying "This game will sell ton's of consoles!". Is it true or not? Who knows :) Not the point! He's obviously got high hopes for this game. Then the dark side >_> For every 1 person to say "this game is going to move consoles!, just wait till "x,x,x" come out!", you get 30 people saying "Oh... look at the pitiful PS3 owners, desperate because your in last place" or them too saying sarcastic things like "Ooop check that one off the list of PS3 domination ah hur hur hur... so are we waiting till "x,x,x" for ps3 domination? hur hur hurrrrrrr."

I get upset at the site sometimes, because it's like people look down on me for supporting the PS3, for hoping that a game sells well, hoping that every game released is going to be a good one, for just generally being optimistic when times look bad :P

Then it comes down to a positive PS3 thread being turned into "find a way to fix the logic of all these people so they're entirely upset and realize they're foolish" :P In which case, people who care little for the topic at hand, invade the thread, and have a massive wank fest with each other while they completely trash the original message the thread was aiming for :P

I'm not saying it doesn't happen with the other threads (granted I wouldn't really know, I don't browse too many non-sony forums), but I notice it a ton with the PS3 threads xD Someone could be thrilled with a preview of a game, yet 10 people have to run in there and give reasons they weren't impressed, yet it's like, dude, if you weren't impressed, why are you even here xD You don't really give a shit :P

Because gamers like to pretend their cool and when their console isn't the most popular it makes them feel nerdy?

Either that or just fear that they won't get as many good games as they could have.

Or just plain brand identifiication.

I'm a PS3 owner, and I'm not bothered.

Gamecube was in 3rd and got RE4. I'd settle for something like that.

You realise the average Wii owner has more games than the average PS3 owner.... by about 1.5

Your friends are typical Wii owners, you are not a typical PS3 owner.

loll, we need to ask colonel this lol, colonel you're days are numbered lol

Yep.  I mean i have... 24 Wii games... and 2 PS3 games...  (No wait... 25 wii games.  Just got one as a gift.)

That's not really showing anything, other then i think the wii has a lot better games and more of them.

All the ps3 needs is a price cut, and who says it will end up in third. Im pretty confident 2nd place is still up for grabs. 2009's ps3 line up blows away the competition, FACT!

I'd call it fiction... or an opinion.... which is really the problem with opinions.

You are correct.

PS3 SUPPOSIVELY had the best lineup of 2008 (which I think 360's Gears 2, Fable 2 & Ninja Gaiden 2 ALONE beat PS3 for my taste), and it still is getting destroyed in sales (hardware and software wise) by the 360 & Wii.  Also, 360 has a 7+ MILLION sales lead over PS3, and PS3 most likely wont see a price cut till Fall 2009 at the earliest since Sony STILL loses money for every PS3 sold.
