They're figments of your imagination. Very annoying talkative ones at that...

| Words Of Wisdom said: Wii fanboys are the majority but since they're the majority we can't call them fanboys. Sony fanboys are the loudest and the ones most likely to go into otherwise nice threads and derail them. 360 fanboys are the minority but they make the most flamebait threads (mostly to annoy the PS3 ones). PC fanboys are awesome. Sega fanboys are the ones who constantly amaze everyone else with their existence. |
We SEGA Fanboys are like cockroaches we will never die....*Blacksaber hugs his Sonic plushie*
Former something....

Putting your generalising and steriotypes aside, if the 360 was the most expensive console I would belive that it would have an older audience. Older people tend to have more disposable income. |
wasnt there an article on the vgchartz main page recently... something about wealthier households choosing the wii over other consoles? hm, must be a lot of rich kids out there.
Ya know that is actually a really good question. Considering the site, there is really no reason for their to be such an abundance but it just kinda turned out that way. I actually think it has to do with our extreme coverage of MGS4 back in 2008. That really seemed to be the big shift from a heavy Ninty fan site to Sony fans taking over. MS fans though have increased a lot lately as well ever since the good sales in late 2008.
Really trends will match sales and coverage. So I guess that is why there is always a consistently large Ninty fan section with a growing and falling PS3 and 360 fan section. However, PS3's just hasn't gone down. Guess this will take more study.

Finally, a respectful answer.
Thank you.

Well I try haha. I've actually been thinking over this quite a bit myself and I'm able to understand the flucuations in stable members and new combers based on certain sales events and VGC coverage. I mean the lack of PC gamers is quite evident given the lack of coverage and no sales data. I've been able to understand why Nintendo fans have had a consistent bases and why MS fans has flucuated although continuously rising as of late given late 2008 and E3 2009. But I've never been able to understand why PS3 fans have stayed so high and still growing even after MGS4. Do you have any answers to this? Really it would seem it would fall off considering lower sales numbers and less coverage thereof. It's possible that KZ2 has something to do with this as well as coverage for that was quite high. Guess VGC is just getting a better rep with the Sony fans on the internet and they are staying.

Yah, I leave my grown up "mature" speech for work in the office were they drive out half of my personality. And I leave my quality writing to college were it is demanded. Here you can be as immature as you wish. It is all a state of mind, there is no true definition of maturity. unless it means being boring. But I did quickly notice that this sight has more sony lovers than others.

| Steroid said: So far on this thread: 2 X-Box fanboys, 2 Wii fanboys, 1 Sony supporter. |
Hah, I like it how you didn't put "Sony fanboy" but "Sony supporter" while calling the other people posting in this thread fanboys. Seriously? I'm pretty sure anyone who has ever been on this site would know there are way more Sony Playstation supporting active, "vocal" users on this site then any Nintendo or Xbox supporters.
Why they choose VGChartz? I don't care enough to figure out.
