Calling people delusional because of this seems more like presenting people with some sense, rather than attacking. In the thread where this was first made, I attacked it myself, but now I can't be bothered anymore. I'm not aggressive enough to keep at it, though I have full understanding for anyone wanting to get rid of that atrocius thing

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?

Let him go man. He's obviously trying to rile you in. Supporting something is completely different to saying something else sucks (this has been said a few times now...some people just don't get it).

Who needs well thought out slogans when you have a pet sheep?

I'm really glad that TheSteve posted his response, because this is pretty much what I am saying:

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.

No it's not. Showing support for a console you own is quite different from putting down everyone else's choice which is fanboyism. I carried the logo myself for a while. i only removed it because I needed to make room for other things in my sig. The only reason I've ever been banned is sig length so i gotta be aware of this now.

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

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.

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

so what's your interpretation of the sig?

1. There are many ironic sigs out there (yours included), but these are directly insulting. 

2. Or, if I don't agree with your point of wiew, which is allowed, I chose to fight this stuff instead of changing my sig. How about that?

I kinda get what Rainbird is saying...perhaps the sig should´ve been more like "PS3 has a bright future...BELIEVE"....instead of "is the future", which could imply the future is all about the PS3.

PS3 is the future of console gaming, now join our crazy cult.

Something like that

For the same reasons you get tired of people saying that the Wii is a fad, and stuff like that.

I'm at the point where I have given up on fighting it, and just roll my eyes whenever I see it. Often I feel like posting facepalms, but that probably wont do much good.

In that case, I guess the problem here is the vagueness of the statement because it looks like everyone's inner prejudice brings forth a different interpretation. Spartanfx (original author...I think) should've had something more direct.
