Forums - Microsoft - Kantor's in-depth guide for identifying a 360 fanboy.

Now before I write this, I'd just like to say that I'm not being serious. I'm not trolling the 360. In fact, I basically copied the idea from this thread:

http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=68874&page=1

With that done, let's begin!

According to a 360 fanboy,

1) All PS3 exclusives are failures. It can sell over a million, and it's still a failure. It can outsell Mass Effect (which is, of course, a success) and be a failure, because Mass Effect "wasn't hyped"

2) No 360 game is ever hyped. Even when there are ten threads on the Microsoft Discussion front page, it's not hyped. And thus, no game on the 360 can ever be a disappointment, or a failure, or a flop.

3) The 360's library is better than that of the PS2. Never mind the fact that the PS2 had more than a large collection of shooters, and actually had varied genres. It didn't have a Halo, or a Gears of War, so the 360 wins.

4) The PS3 is too expensive, especially for somebody living in a first world country with an internet connected computer, an HDTV, and a video game console with paid-for online. How can anybody living that rough a life possibly afford a $400 purchase?

5) The 360 doesn't compete with the Wii, because they appeal to different markets. Funny, I thought they were both game consoles. They claim that 360 sales were unaffected by the Wii's launch, but in actual fact, the Wii launched 2 weeks after the PS3, and that didn't do much either. But of course, the PS3 is competing with the 360, because it's losing.

6) Motion control is a gimmick and a lame fad when on the Wii, but when it's announced for the 360, it suddenly becomes a fantastic new control scheme that could revolutionise gaming.

7) Metal Gear Solid 4 is a boring game. In fact, it's not even a game, it's a movie. A bad, boring movie, with useless gameplay thrown in. WHAT'S THAT? THERE'S A CHANCE IT'S COMING TO 360? MGS4 IS AWESOME AND DESERVES TO BE MULTIPLAT! What? It's not going multiplat? Of course it is! Kojima clearly hinted at it when he said he liked cheesecake! Well, it will go multiplat. Not that I care, I don't even like it.

8) Killzone 2 has command lag (8/60 of a second), but Halo 3 runs just fine (10/60 of a second)

9) PSN should be equivalent in quality and services offered to Live, despite being free.

10) Killzone 2 is overtracked, because Sony said so!

11) PS3 owners spend so much time posting about upcoming games because they have no games to play. Of course, 360 owners spend a hell of a lot of time insulting PS3 games, rather than talking about their own.

12) All PS3 multiplat games are expected to outsell their 360 versions, particularly in North America, where the PS3 has 7 million fewer consoles in its userbase than the 360. Of course, 360 games shouldn't outsell PS3 games in Japan, because the PS3 has a 2 million console lead!

13) AAA is defined as being "above 90 on Metacritic". No game below 90 on Metacritic is even playable.

14) The PS3 has no games. At all. Uncharted, Tools of Destruction and Resistance 2, by the above definition, are not AAA, Killzone 2 has control issues, LBP is a kiddy, casual 2D (game of the year winning) level creation toolset, MGS4 is a boring movie (except when it has a chance of going multi). MLB 09 the Show isn't worth mentioning, because it sold badly.

15) Halo 3 is the best game on the HD consoles, because it sold the best. Halo 3 is also better than Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, and Wii Play.

16) On the off chance that a PS3 exclusive doesn't flop, and manages to sell a reasonably decent 3.9 million copies, it's because the game was bundled. Even if it was bundled for a month. It was still bundled. No 360 game has ever received a sales boost from bundles. Ever.

17) Microsoft doesn't moneyhat. Square Enix put FF13 on the 360, then made Star Ocean IV and The Last Remnant 360 exclusive out of the goodness of their hearts.

18) And if they do moneyhat, it's because they love their customers! Not like Sony, who launched a console (which cost $850 to manufacture) for $600!

19) This list is completely fake! It's stupid! No 360 fanboys are like this! Xbot's was way more accurate!

There, how was that?

Hehe, 19 should throw a spanner in things.

Oh, please. How much do you think bundles added to LBP's sales? And even then, a failure which has been out for six months coming close to a success that has been out for one and a half years...

EDIT: You gave me a clue for number 16.
