I think the belief is that the PS3 will do (much) better in the future, that is, believe in the ideea, not thing. Isn't that clear?

Because they have nothing to B_E_L_I_E_V_E in

Yes it is. There are many ways of declaring your support towards a console, some of which do not involve declaring your console of choice as "the future", in a time where it obviously isn't.

Whether you like it or not, that message reeks of blind fanboy-ism

It's annoying to be surprised by something I didn't want to see, but it's rare for this to happen.

I watched through the Sony conference without watching the Assassin's Creed 2, Uncharted 2 or God of War 3 footage

Playstation 3 is the present......NOW......B_E_L_I_E_V_E...... (Coz if it wasn't, it would wreck the time-space continuum..... come on, guys, you gotta' respect the P_A_R_A_D_O_X)

Also, all three systems have "exciting" developments coming in the future.... um.... is that still now.... dammit.... I'm so confused..... I need something to B_E_L_I_E_V_E in!

saying ps3 has room in the future is different from saying 360 and wii have no future...I hope this is clearer. IMO, the sig stems from the idea that ps3 was doomed that keeps popping up every now and then. Thankfully, many journalists think ninty's E3 sucked so they'll be talking about the wii now and the ps3 gets a break.

I don't get you. But maybe you don't get me. Let me explain.

I own a PS3 and, given that it's not doing so well in sales and it's image is not what it shoul be (my oppinion) I support it as I would a favorite sports team. I have a banner showing my support. Now I know that sports fans can be the worst kind of agressive discusting scum in the world (I'm european, talking abut football, you know), yet I still suport the same team as some of that scum, still wear the scarf and hold the banner, but I don't spit, curse, scrach cars, hit anyone etc..

Now how am I as bad as them? And why is my banner atrocious?

It is clearer, but that is not what that signature is saying. Those are two different things

I guess my ironic insulting was overlooked... My point is "why so sensitive?"

If you jump on the bandwaggon and put a silly line in your sig that lumps you in with the type of people that are calling for the PS3 to pass the Wii in total sales this year, expect to be treated like you're a bit "special" at best, and a delusional social reject at worst.

Get over it or change your sig.

i havent seen anyone use it for wii, maybe because Wii is the present (but so is PS3 and 360) and the next generation is the future.
