When I first joined the site it seemed that it ruled by Nintendo fans.
Nowadays, everything seems more balanced when it comes to console fans. Every side does their fair share of bashing of another fans console. I really don't see Sony fans as being dominant to Microsoft and Nintendo fans. But maybe I'm blind?
You enjoy this a little to much megaman...
Go play Flower to sooth you're nerves.
I do feel there are more Sony fans, but usually it is because they are the most outspoken......rightfully so. It has been a rough road this Gen for the Sony fans but things are on the up and up and with a growing library of quality games why not be outspoken when it is done intelligently. It isnt always done intelligently, but hey...........
Really though, all 3 consoles are amazing, so I dont consider owners or fans of a specific console to be missing out in the slightest depending on your personal preference.
Now personally owning and experiencing each console I still consider my 360 as the preferred console. MS did a amazing job with the 360 library and Live has so much freaking content it is rediculous.
I love my Wii and PS3 too, but my favorite console this gen, hands down, is my 360!
Well this site is dominated by PS fanboys so will the administration.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

| MAFKKA said: Im leaning more to 360 fans and nintendo fans being the larger groups on this site. All i see on this site is PS3 bashing and how its doomed and how low the sales are. Even if the Playstation people are more in share numbers than the 360/Wii, id say the 360 people create the most threads and post more replys about random stuff than any other group on this site. |
the polls conducted on this site show that the sony fanbase is the largest with the 360 fans being a vocal minority

| Dodece said: First you must differentiate between the vocal, the occasional, and the departed. Technically most accounts are Nintendo followed by Sony and then followed by Microsoft. That however does not translate to which camp brings the most traffic on a daily basis. The Sony camp is definitely the most vocal. The Nintendo camp is basically spent. A year with no major titles, poor port support, and a poorly balanced library will do that. The camp was massive early in the generation, but it just could not be sustained. Most of the camp is departed. A early victory followed by a massive drought conspired to cull the heard. The Microsoft camp was always the smallest of the three. In spite of the sales difference it is a very different breed. Remember the consoles bread and butter is online play. Factor is a large library with a lot of cheap games, and you have gamers doing what they are prone to do play a lot of games. What has not helped is the fact that Microsoft defeated Sony, and before anyone bitches please how possible is it for this to change? This camp is mostly occasional they come by from time to time, and will chime in on a thread when they got a moment. The Sony camp is directly in the middle. The most expensive, the most ridiculed, and mired in third place. Who would have thought that would have happened. Though it seems to have lead to a massive inferiority complex. When your used to winning the fact that you are losing bites hard. Though to be honest its only a matter of time before this group too mellows out, and isn't quite so vocal. A lot of them are still screaming, because they have yet to realize the battle is over. I actually expect the community to find an equilibrium by the fall, and move forward to actually discussing the pros and cons of games, genres, and game against game comparison. Without any dramatic shift in the next few months the deranged fanaticism should be put to rest once and for all. Everyone should accept the outcome by that point, and then the camps should just blend together. The vocal nature of some members is just prolonging what most everyone already knows. This console war has been decided. Though even they cannot drag it out for a year. |

Oh yea of little faith. I am talking about great threads making a huge comeback. The console wars will pale in comparison to the game wars. That is where the debate becomes man to man hand to hand. When the team mindset melts away, and everyone is serving their own agenda. That's when cleverness will return.
Think about moving from a Napoleonic war mentality to a street fighting mentality, as members form small gangs. To defend their game, and to tear the other game down. By god it will be glorious, and it happens every console generation as the debate peters out to nothing. The players take up a new crusade.

so more what we saw with wii music where people said it was not as good as mario paint (IT ISNT) or the whole KZ2 vs H3 or forz3 vs gt5
i could see that as bringing the fun back... though after saying all that i now want a fighter game that has massive levels where its like open world GTA/ with street fighter like battles with smash-brothers character selection from a non nintedo game maker with square enix take over of eidos i will not rest until agent 47 fiber-wires cloud... while being dressed like ...um hmmm

"I think that this site does have a very strong Sony presence, despite the ps3 being in third place. When it comes to the members/console owners the ps3 is leaving the competition behind."
Despite the PS3 being in "3rd" place (a point which could be argued) I think the main reason why you seem to think there is a large Sony presence is because lately there has been nothing but good news from Sony. People are finally starting to realize that hey, despite being in 3rd place the PS3 is at the very least a decent console.
Your so called increase in a Sony presence is merely a decrease in Anti-Sony presence.
I have a better question: What would the site be without fanboys..in reality its fanboys that drive this site and keep it alive..if we had a buhch of Dodece and Words of Wisdoms..it would be boring( no offence guys)
