When arguing about which console will beat which in a sales site having one console continually outselling the other week after week whilst also being millions in the lead does infact gives ones arguments more weight when discussing sales trends. The exact same thing happened last year but in reverse.

 

 

I don't think anyone in their right mind would say maybe that ps3 will outsell the 360 next week...thats just madness but if someone says the ps3 will outsell the 360 in 2011, there may be some merit to his argument irregardles of whats happening now. Ps3 was outselling 360 before the price cut last year, it didn't give the outrageous sales predictions some people made regarding it's sales "more weight " than others who thought the 360 was going to win eventually back then and I'm pretty sure you'll agree on that.

In the same vein. whats happening now doesn't give anyone's prediction priority over others. It's sensibility and credibility that counts not whose side of the fence you're on.

The second half of my post you initially responded to said and I quote "So bascally its a trade of 1 sides fanboy tears to the other" My point wasn't aimed at any logical people discussing sales trends. It was aimed at fanboys, who if they see their beloved console being outsold by the same console that they thought the tide was turning against they would then be increasingly annoyed by any arguments about the 360 sales trends in comparison to the ps3 sales trends. Because its now more logical to say the 360 has a serious long term chance of beating the ps3 this gen the ps3 fanboy will increasingly notice pro-360 comments for this reason. If an argument has more logic and thus more "weight" behind it then it would surely be far more annoying for a fanboy thats opposes said trends.

Thus what I mean was the amount of 360 fanboys may not have increased that much, but since the pro-360 sales predictions have, then they may appear more numerous to other fanboys.

 

 

You're probably right on this one. Even I think that the 360 would probably finish 2nd place this gen  in terms of marketshare except something drastic happens. Don't ask me what the drastic thing is though. It's just represents the "error term" lol (screw biostatistics).

However, I do think the complaint the OP was making was more aimed at game bashing and other similar "put down" talk. Like for example, a 360 fanboy saying "PSN sucks" when they never used the service before not necessarily sales predictions which is your point of focus.

Perhaps it is just me but I've noticed a trend of 360 fanboys becoming more vocal and annoying on this site and it's getting disgusting. It will come as no surprise to anyone that I'm a fan of my PS3 and that I enjoy it more then my other consoles but at the same time, I love my 360, wii, PSP and DS. I love gaming. As such, I notice not only when people attack the PS3 but all consoles, but I will admit to noticing moreso when the ps3 and it's titles are attacked but I really think that its no longer the case. Going into threads about Halo Wars, while not free of trolling and fanboy comments, is nowhere near as bad as going into threads of Killzone 2.

Dude - folks have screamed 'Teh DEMO is awesome' but when someone rooted in reality says it's meh, they get attacked. How can you say - in the same breath - that the demo is awesome, and if you don't like it, you need trifocals.

 

 

I wholeheartly agree with this. I didn't think the demo was amazing like the others, it was average at best, but I never said the game was terrible. Yet I get attacked: getting called an xbot, that I work for MS, I suck at FPS, etc. The KZ2 defense force is disgusting.

Your whole post is full of win madskillz.

No it isn't and I've already explained why in a previous post. Fanboy sentiments can't be helped, however , for madskillz to post that those of us who like the demo aren't "rooted in reality" is very offensive. It's fine if you don't like the demo but some of us do and it doesn't make us delusional same goes for the other way 'round.

But as I said before, one of the reasons many are skeptical of some users opinions on this site even when they have ps3s is their posting history. If say Neoraf said the kz2 demo sucked, I'm pretty sure he'll get flamed as well. However if say MM476 said it sucked, people would probably simply ask him why he thinks so. After numerous posts, you gain a reputation even though you might not realize it.

I never attacked anyone for their opinion on the game. Exspecially if they actually have played it. Again, I noticed how madskillz referenced people who refer to the K2 demo as meh as based in reality, as opposed to people who liked it. So why is it that those people who refer to it as meh are based in reality, and not the people who enjoyed it? That's very hypocritical.

Again, i'd like to remind everyone that while this thread is about 360 fanboys, I never said that PS3 fanboys aren't bad. Actually, if you actually look at my posts I say that they both exist and are EQUALLY bad. Just because my thread focused on the 360 ones doesn't mean that I like ps3 fanboys or don't think they are as bad as 360. It's just that I didn't think the 360 ones were as bad until recently so I thought I'd mention it and ask other's opinions on the matter.

 Quote from page one of this thread by me.

"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."

Feel better? :)

So according to Madskills it's ok for People to think meh of Killzone 2 because they are being rational, but if someone dislikes Halo Wars they "Don't understand the game" http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=1810070 .
