why is it ....or does it seem, that there are far more 360 fanboys in system wars?

i mean its painfully obvious when you look at the percentage of posts, that it seems theres like 4 360 fanboy to every PS3 fanboy.

what is it about 360 owners that make them so rabid, or better yet what is it about rabid personalities that attract them towards the 360?

i own boh so i have no dog in the hunt...

was wondering.

I think it depends, some days I see a lot of Wii bashing and other days I see a lot of PS3 praise. It really varies.

There are more 360 fanboys because there are more 360 owners than PS3 owners. That's unbelievably obvious though.

If you actually thought about it, what's the whole point of System Wars? To own people, plain and simple.What would be the point of being in here to get owned all the time? They sure as hell can't own others, it's no good for Sony fans right now, but trust me, it will change sooner or later.

well singing praise isnt the same.

for isntance this isnt a fanboy thread--
" wow my systems games are really cool"
"my system has some great games coming out"
"my system has some great games"

on the other hand this is a fanboys thread
"dood you system is gonna f4ilz!"
"this system has no AAA's.....the flopz!"
"how does it f33l to have the system floppz"
your system failz"

Numbers-wise, it used to be the other way. Rabid-wise, the cows were just as bad, but now seem more tame because they have been so completly owned

360 supporters are the majority here. Our console of choice has proven itself and we don't really need to go out of our way to convince people that. I've noticed most topics here are offense topics from cows or sheep, seriously. Wii and PS3 owners are like two people stranded in the wilderness struggling to light a fire. 360 owners have a massive fireplace and only need to tend to it from time to time to keep it lit.

There are more xbox 360 fanboys period. The xbox 360 is a hardcore console, and it's sold a fair bit.

Sadly, this is true. There was a poster on the AVS forums who used to be paid by Microsoft to spread false rumors that glorified HD DVD and crucified Blu-ray. It's pretty pathetic, but it is a practice of their's.

1 - More people own 360's?

2 - Backlash?

3 - They have a system to be proud of (except for RoD)?

These are my guesses. Also, you have to remember that it's not all 360 owners so you should choose your wording a little better. Like change the "what is it about 360 owners" to "what is it about some 360 owners".

The fact that there are actually 360 and ps3 fanboys bashing each other just shows how well microsofts console is doing. Sony the king of consoles for 2 generations is actually troubled by the competition.

You would think the 360 fanboys would be busy playing all the big exclusives that came out recently for 360 that get the SW treatment (Mass Effect, Halo, etc.) but for some reason they're always in here... hrm.

I used to be a big proponent of the 360 but now I'm a man scorned. PSWii FTW.

They can't play their console because of RROD. That's why they're all here.

If theres Wii bashing and PS3 praise then don't you think its likely to be from Sony fanboys (because they're most likely to praise PS3 andi haven't seen many lemmings bashing wii, WII60 FTW xD)

But I agree it is varied, but thats the good thing as that means there is a lot more different opinions

I believe it's just because the 360 is the superior gaming console this generation. I'm sure there were 4 PS2 'fanboys' for every XBOX one last generation.

Installed base?? If you go by VGchartz (which a lot of people don't but it must have some merit), Ps3 only has 2.43 million consoles sold in the US while the 360 has 8.58 million systems sold.

Add on top of that that this gen PS3 is the "high end" system. Meaning that alot of the hardcore gamers who own one, also own another system. May like one of their other systems better.

It was the same during Xbox vs PS2. PS2 was way more popular, and therefore the board felt biased towards it.

because its a lot easier to defend

the only major problems with the 360 are

1. all it's best games are multiplat(or will be)

2. RROD

3. the fact that you pay for nothing on xbox live

to which the responses are

1. at least it has games

2. at least it has games

3. at least it has games

1) Obviously, that is not your case.

2) I would be surprised if M$ didn't do that. I would also be surprised if Sony didn't do that.
