Forums - Gaming - Have 360 fanboys become worse on this site?

Torillian, I agree. All fanboys are absolutely disgusting. I don't put up any fanboys above another. I've just realised a growth in the negativity of some 360 fanboys and thought to comment. But they are aweful on all sides, including the wii.

Richardhutnik, It's been praised to be the god of shooters by playstation fanboys and the ones who feel the need to argue with them are 360 fanboys. They are both agravating. But truthfully, I've seen more anti k2 threads then Pro k2 threads as of late. I think that's new for any hyped game that more threads are made to attack it then to praise it.

Yes, I do believe they have gotten horrible on this site.

On a serious note, Xbox 360 fans have always been, and remain, the most timid, attacked, and small demographic on this website.

The single biggest issue that pervades PS3 supporters on this site is their constant and unswerving belief year after year that they have an unbeatable game line-up, that is then inevitably beaten. I tend to feel this comes as a result of Sony's mishandling of game hype.

But it is important to distinguish between old Sony fans like myself, and PS3 fans. It is the latter group who have, rightly or rightly, earned the stereotype of being the loudest and most obnoxious fanboys.

oh see, you're doing that thing where you call all fans for a given consul fanboys.  Hate when people do that.

But that's just it, I don't.

There are some remarkably timid PS3 fans such as makingmusic and yourself who can enjoy the console's existing library and look forward to it's future games without claiming such ridiculous things as an impending dominance over the Xbox 360's 2009 game's line-up.

I am a great fan of the Xbox 360, and I believe it easily holds its own line-up for line-up with the PS3 in 2009.  And yet, that doesn't for a moment mean that the PS3's line-up is poor.  It just means that at it's current price-point the console does not appeal to me sufficiently given the game experiences it offers.

 If xbox360 fanboys are really the minority then I applaud them for being just as loud and negative as the others. It must take twice the effort because they are just as noticeable to me.

Also, you say the biggest issue with PS3 supporteres is that they believe their lienup is better then the 360's year after year but the same goes for 360 fans. Are you actually going to say 360 fans don't believe they have the best lineup year after year? Come on. Are you going to admit to me that the 360 has a weaker lineup? I don't think so. I've seen threads where BOTH sides argued "my lineup is betterz!". Truth be told, they are both great.

There's only like, 2 or 3 of them. Not like it's hard to just scroll past them. I've done quite a bit of scrolling in this thread, actually :)

A PS3 fan/supporter isn't necessarily a PS3 fanboy. Just saying.

You're a little late to the party, see my last post.

But surely you're aware of the "potential" argument?  PS3 fanboys have been arguing for years that "*^% will be the year of the PS3" and "only the PS3 has a 10 year plan."  Their arguments have been based on the future to a much larger extent than the other two consoles.

And thus, we give credit to the wrong side far too often. Most of the obnoxious 2-post PS3 trolls that appear are actually different console fanboys, probably 360 and sometimes Wii, that make PS3 fanboys look bad(worse?). The same goes for these 360 fanboys. Don't be surprised when you find out half of them actually are infatuated with the PS3 or Wii.

Its also threads like these that make trolls think that its working.

Congrats.

Seriously, dude? In a thread where the topic is that 360 fanboys are going too far lately, a point to which I agree with, you have to go and say that?

85% rated games on metacritic in 2008...who had the most? PS3. It's very close, and if you change the number it is the 360 depending on which number you pick. The point is that both systems have great games and which system has better games is subjective and not an objective fact.

So even if PS3 fanboys annoyingly proclaim that the PS3 lineup is far superior, you can't say that it is "inevitably beaten" because that makes you as bad as them.
