Brilliant. Although I'd take out the fanboy bit, because pretty much every 360 only owner on this forum is like that.



Too many points that could have been contracted into more stinging rebukes, other than that looks good



This is even more meaningless than the thread from which it spawned. If the original is not funny, the somewhat faded copy certainly won't be.

No 360 game has ever received a sales boost from bundles. Ever.

The way some people talk around here, you'd swear that one was true.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

I've never seen a 360 fanboy say this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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".

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.

There, how was that?

Quite delusional....thanks for the read though.

Over 90% of what he said was bullshit. Read my previous post.



Meh, some of those are true.
