My 2 cent:

First:

Psychological reflex of consistence. People buyed the ps3. Ps3 performed bad. Poeple have to tell themself they made the right choice b/c of the consistence. People post on the Internetz. (This is nothing bad this is important for surviving our society.)

Second:

People with PS3s feel "small" b/c of the smaller base. They think they get no attention and nobody hears them so they speak louder/more to get attention and appear "bigger". (This is nothing bad, it's important for pople to break stereptypes and survive in our society. Especialy to show the support the ps3 gets yada yada yada.)

This keeps coming up a lot but I've owned a 360 twice the time I've owned a PS3 and owned a Wii for a year yet I still like the PS3 more as a system. As far as the best exlusive games gao I prefer the 360 so far, but the PS3 caught up a lot this year with Uncharted 2, Infamous, Killzone 2, Demon's Souls and so on (and a new Ratchet game coming out).



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

360 and Wii fans actually play use their console more than PS3 owners?

i think so. last year i played alot and went on the internet maybe once a week

now i go every day cause i dont have any games to play. this years xbox 360 line up isnt strong im just hoping forza 3 changes it.

halo wars and forza 3 for me is the 360 year line up this year so thats why im posting alot now and im a 360 fan but next year i think my posts will drastically decrease cause of all the AAA games coming out.

If you're run out of games to play, maybe you can browse some of the older titles. There's bound to be some old gems that you haven't got around to yet. For eg. I really want to play Crackdown (It's so cheap too these days) but just haven't got around to it yet since I'm still occupied with a couple of games.

I think Torillian believed that my post implied that the PS3 has no games, thing I never mentioned or intended to.


Yea... he f'd up and i think he should man up and apologize.

Well, it did sound that way, anyway, I believe it was slimebeast who said something similar, and yet he didn't get banned, so whatever.

i think it comes down to games, in my opinion, and many others ps3 has better exclusives out, and comming out, as for the wii, there all moms doing workouts on wii fit, and little kids, 360 only has halo odst, to talk about and thats played out, halo is old, and natal, which they want to boast about but the bottom line is , fot shooters and adventure games natal is useless, the ps3 wand will be much better, lots of ps fans, ps3 is the best of the best, take away 360 extra year of sales ps3 has sold more, with all the ps3 does, it is the choice for smart people, and gamers

I frequent a few sites and it's universal - PS3 fans tend to be very passionate and vocal - and annoying. I also think they are the most defensive - they can not stand *bad* news, even if it's the MSM reporting it. 360 fans can be annoying, as well as Wii fans, but not to the point of PS3 fans, thumping their chests hard when their console does good for a few weeks.

Don't believe me? Look at the folks who are permabanned or banned. There are a few Wii and 360 posters, but most tend to be PS3 owners. And the ones circumventing the bans? PS3 users.

And trust me - it's not just this site - they are all over the place. I like my PS3, but I'm not as devoted as these folks are. It's almost like some of them are in a cult.

360 fans? What do they brag about - how often do they create a gazillion threads about an exclusive? There are some, but not as much as Sony fans.

PS3 fans are rooting for a console in last place. If you don't expect them to 'thump their chests hard' when they suddenly take the lead for a few weeks, I don't think you understand human behaviour very well.

You would need to calculate the amount of bans relative to the fanbase of each console on this website to come up with any meaningful data, also, you may not like what you find. Most of the prominent members of the 360 community on this site have been banned at one stage or another.

I've never seen a problem with fans creating a 'gazillion' threads about something. Sure, they may overhype it and it's probably annoying for posters uninterested in the title, but it displays the pure excitement and passion for gaming the fans have.
