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"
I've never seen this from a 360 fanboy. I have. LBP, Resistance 2, KZ2.
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.
Hyped by the company is what they mean by hyped. Being hyped in a forum such as this means nothing, because it only reaches a hand-full of people. Microsoft hypes all of their games, like any good company. And people meant internet hype. Again, LBP.
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.
Never seen a 360 fanboy who said the library was better, but i've seen them say it was larger. The 360 has 608 games, the PS3 has 1597.
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?
The U.S. is in a economical crisis....this also makes no sense. The PS3 was too expensive. Look at how badly the PS3 is being stripped down, every time Sony decides to drop price. Still, you'd think it was $4000, by the way some people talk about it.
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.
I've never met a 360 fanboy who has said this. Most 360 fanboys i've spoken to acknowledge that Microsoft decided to put full focus on Sony and congratulate Nintendo for winning this gen. Recently, Microsoft have stopped saying that the Wii is not a competitor. But people do still say it.
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.
I've seen more PS3 fanboys say this than 360 fanboys. Both say it, but more recently, thanks to GDC, it's mainly 360 fanboys.
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.
Since when did you see this? This is usually the PS3 fanboy response (IE: Final Fantasy XIII, Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma) No PS3 fanboy really cares about Sigma 2, and nobody who liked FF13 before dislikes it now. And you know you've seen those people. The same people say "MGS4 is a boring movie game" and "ZOMGMGS4ON360!"
8) Killzone 2 has command lag (8/60 of a second), but Halo 3 runs just fine (10/60 of a second)
Lol, no comment?
9) PSN should be equivalent in quality and services offered to Live, despite being free.
I've never seen a 360 fanboy say this. I have. It's in half of Starcraft's posts.
10) Killzone 2 is overtracked, because Sony said so!
Provide a link to this, i'd love to see this, because KZ2 deserves good sales and if they got it, anyone who desputes it need to be smacked. It was a Gebx thread. I'll see if I can find it.
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.
Last time I checked the majority of HD console fanboys on VGchartz are PS3 fanboys and bash 360 titles more. I've seen 360 fanboys bash PS3 titles, but not as much. The majority of people on VGC are PS3 owners. And bashing of 360 titles by PS3 owners is nowhere near the bashing of PS3 titles. How many people call Gears of War a bad game?
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!
This is bullshit. GTA4, Resident Evil 5...and then Star Ocean IV, The Last Remnant.
13) AAA is defined as being "above 90 on Metacritic". No game below 90 on Metacritic is even playable.
Thats what PS3 fanboys say actually, not 360 fanboys. Nope. Because that would mean the 360 had a superior library, and no Sony fanboy would say that!
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.
This is an old argument which died last year when MGS4 launched. MGS4 is a movie, remember? People still say it.
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.
I've never seen a 360 fanboy write this on VGChartz. I have.
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.
Usually the reason it gets over 4 million copies is because it is bundled (IE: Motorstorm & MGS4) You're proving my point. And neither of those sold over 4 million copies. I'll admit that MotorStorm was helped by bundling, but MGS4? LBP?
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.
I've never heard a 360 fanboy deny Microsoft moneyhatting. Last time I checked they said "Microsoft isn't doing anything Sony hasn't done, so stop bitching". Some people claim that it's SE's "new strategy" or some such thing.
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!
This is bullshit. I've never seen anyone who is a 360 fanboy say this. I have. A mod, actually, among other people.
There, how was that? 
Quite delusional....thanks for the read though. You're welcome.
