It was like this last year, too. You've just forgotten because of the boredom of mid-2009.

Flame baiting, trolling, etc. tends to operate in sync with the market - i.e. when things are relatively stable there is less of it, and when things aren't it quickly increases.

The release of the Slim, PS3 shifting ahead of 360, Wii sales weakening before the price cut - all of that simply brings out the Trolls. Die-hard 360 fans who convinced themselves the PS3 would never again outsell the console even once are defensive, die-hard PS3 fans are crowing, etc.

I'd buckle up, personally, as I think it's going to be bumpy in the forums for a while, as it's going to be neck and neck right through the holidays I believe.
