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 have been taking it up the butt since 2006, we were forced to buy $600 console, bad 3rd part support a first and Sony doing all it could to ruin this Gen. All we had to deal with is bad news, and people telling us how " the console was dead" should Sony put down the ps3 and start over again" , 2007 was a disater to bea ps3 owner.

What is amazing about us bragging about exclusives, think about it, what else should we brag about? we are in third place, Sony keeps losing money and we get the bad version of 3rd party games. Again, what else should we brag about?

The really great thing about the PS3 is its excellent first party offering and by God, I will brag about until my throat hurt.

Hardly, there is a simple answer, there are more hardcore PS3 fans on most big gaming websites and forums.

PS3 gamers are more hardcore, this is why they are overpresented on internet gaming forums. And this hardcoreness explains why they are so passionate about seeing their console win.

Wii gamers on average are definitely the most casual. They don't care about pissfests. They don't care that their console is SD. They have no reason to obsess over exclusivity. etc. They just think, "oh these games are fun." They're also the least likely to own other consoles (source: NPD) even though the Wii has less AAAs and what not. This audience clearly doesn't care at all about that type of stuff.

The 360 user base has a significant number of casual gamers. And when I mean casual, I don't mean Wii-Fit playing gamers. I mean everyday guys (mainly guys anyway) you see in high school, college, work, etc. who just want to play their Madden, NBA2K, CoD, Halo, Gears, GTA, etc. with their friends on live. In North America, if you are an average everyday male, most of your friends are going to have a 360 so it's seen as a natural thing to do for them to get a 360 if they want to play with their friends. If you go, "Killzone 2! Resistance! MGS4! Uncharted 2!", they're really not going to give a damn. To them, they think, "hey playing Halo, CoD and Madden with my friends is awesome. I don't know what you're going on about with this killzone thing man." Basically so as long as they have their EA Sports, 2K Sports and shooter fix (all over possible with the big multi-plat overlap) and can play these games with their friends, they don't care. They, the casual 360 gamer, don't see any reason to passionately defend "their console".

But PS3 owners, they're different on average. Because chances are if you own a PS3, you didn't just buy it for sports and shooters. Chances are you probably like Sony's first-party lineup a lot and MGS4. These type of gamers are not going to be so casual. They care more about the exclusives. And I've noticed throughout the years that there are plenty of people on the internet, particularly internet gaming forums, with a heavy interest in Japanese popular culture. Obviously that kind of fanbase is going to favor the PS3 more times than not.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
