The only acceptable answer is that the majority of 360 owners are not "real" gamers. Whatever that means to you. It certainly isn't an insult. Just that the majority of the console owners are people who just play shooters/halo with their college buddies while drinking a 24. Great fun and usually good guys but they are not the type of people that hang around on message boards. The true hardcore have a ps3. They probably have a 360 as well because the ps3 did start off rather slow, but we have ps3s, and we'd have it no other way. PlayStation is what console gaming is all about.

Thats what the PSX and the PS2 did, complete dominance with _core_ games. The result now is that the majority of those PS2 core gamers are PS3 fans, while some are 360 fans. Fill in the Casual market the 360 has and you have a bigger fan base but the fan base is probably watching sports are going to parties instead of going on boards to argue and debate console sales. The funny effect of the PS2 is, and I'm sure a lot of people here can agree, I don't even have a PS3 yet because I still have about 70 ps2 games to catch up on.

Nothing bad about either user base, they both have their problems and pluses.

So wait a minute....to be a core gamer you must go "RAWR!!!" all over the internet?

This has been well documented before.

Sony fanboys are indeed the worst, but nobody knows why for sure.

Last place can make you do crazy things.

Yeah, internet is full of em. Some said that they are even. If they are, either I am really lucky not to find x360 fanboys or thats just bull. The best thing is for example when theres news about natal 80% of messages are about how it will fail and how good ps3 wands will be. Oh, well. Actually I don't care about them, because I don't own any consoles and maybe never will. However when ever I comment on something they still say that I am x360 fanboy. I guess if I am not with them then I must be x360 fanboy.

To be honest I have been called PS3 fanboy 2 times. However I have been called x360 fanboy more than one hundred times. :P



New crap available on mi pages!

Because the PS3 can browse the internet, many PS3 fanboys are found on the internet as they do not have to leave and go open a pc, which lazy xbox 360 fanboys probably will not do. PS3 users are also busy playing games but they can browse the internet at the same time ;)

i dont think its any of those reasons, because ive noticed it too, but i dont think its any of those reasons is because its only around the last 3-4 months that its been like this, it used to be xbox360 posters which were flooding the forums and game sites. so where were the old loyal ps2 fans then? and so on?

mmm, i think using an artical that states "[Editor's Note: We're not just a (rad) news site -- we also publish opinions/editorials from our community & employees like this one, though be aware it may not jive with the opinions of Destructoid as a whole, or how our moms raised us. Want to post your own article in response? Publish it now on our community blogs.]" Before the artical is no way to back up your claim as it clearly states this article is opinion not fact. Take a look at the picture at the top of the article. Compairing Sony fans to Muslim extremists Strikes me a little of calling kettles a rather dark shade of black. But i quess the irony is lost.
