I have noticed that within the past few months that is has become almost a staple in System Wars for every other thread to somehow hate on the 360. It is true, the 360 hasn't had the greatest year and this year is clearly the year of the PS3 (inFamous, Killzone 2, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2 etc) but honestly, I dont see why the machine has suddenly become the target of rampant and vehement fanboy remarks. I get that this is System Wars and this is the place where debates of console supremacy occur, but it as if the 360 can do no right and any success that is made is instantly discredited (ODST is only an expansion, Forza 3 demo looks like garbage, 360 has no games this year or next year etc) I am not sure if this is just blind fanboyism from cows (who have seemed to influx so greatly in numbers within the past few months I would say they now outnumber lemmings and sheep combined) or it is now an accepted fact that the 360 is no longer seen as a successful console. I just feel bad for the poor machine because, I will admit, it is my favourite console this generation (although I have been playing my PS3 more recently) but I do not believe he deserves such punishment. I would just like to understand where all this hate began and why every other topic is either bashing on 360's lack of exclusives, PS3 having already won this generation and/or 360's hardware failure rate (which has been posted so often I am surprised that it isn't common knowledge)
P.S. Another observation I have made is that although there are MANY threads bashing the 360, two-thirds of the replies seem to actually be rational rebuttals. Why don't these numbers reflect the qualities of the topics being posted, instead of the consistent level of garbage posted by fanboys. Why can this System Wars community not have intellectual arguments instead of spewing incoherent logic and then using that against a system?
