What has been the most significant fanboy victory in System Wars this gen so far

Question in title.

For me it has to be the cow's victory with having the only AAAAE title this gen.

Holiday Season 07 was also giant for the lemmings.

Lemmings and Sheep victory over Cows being in last place

When Microsoft pulledoff getting FF13 on the 360the inital mayhem around the internet from Sony fans was lulzy stuff indeed.

THIS GEN? Hmmm...

------------

E3 Sony dropping the bomb on the price of the PS3, that was very crazy SW time, not much of a victory other than knowing Sony just cost themselves a ton of loyal fans.

GeoW1 coming out and getting AAA, despite claims that it was just another UNREAL EPIC game.

MGS4 proving it wasn't a Niche seller, and getting fantastic reviews and sales.AAAAE at GS was a nice Bonus, for a site that rated MGS3:SE AA.

KZ2 getting AAA+ at multiple sites, including here at AAAE here at GS. So many Cries of Sucky sequel and HATE for this game, but the Haters were DENIED.

The Wii blowing past the 360 and PS3 in CONSOLE SALES was amazing. You could combine the 360 AND the PS3, and you would have the Wii's Install Base. It's not as huge a gap as the PS2 last gen, but it was certainly a surprise for a system people laughed at once it was unveiled.

I don't know if the SHEEP had any MAJOR victories, but I may have just forgotten. The Wii has some great games, but no Suprises like above, I guess.

SHEEP:

-The Wii outselling the other two consoles. It was expected, but people pre-launch on SW said it would fail like the Gamecube.

-SMG getting game of the year, when many people were quoted with "the Wii will never get a GOTY, mark my words."

COWS:

-Sony's move to go with Bluray paying off.

-MGS4 AAAAE GOTY.

LEMMINGS:

-Dominating any sort of console online capabilities debate.

-Having the best lineup for several years in a row and the most "good" (according to GS scores) games up until 2009.

HERMITS:

-Getting great technology (G80 series, etc.) right after the launch of the PS3/Wii, putting the PCs far ahead of consoles for the rest of the generation.

-Crysis being Graphics King for almost 2 years straight (and still going).

Yeah, that's a great point, I will EDIT my post, I knew I forgot something major. I was hoping someone could refresh the ol' noggin I was thinking games, and completely missed that great point..:P

I'm going to have to say Killzone 2. I don't think one game owned so many haters before.

Definitely the massive ownage that was MGS4....in every way. Lems are still licking their wounds after that one.

FF13 on 360

Sony in last place

360 not getting FFvs13. :lol:Killzowner

Overall, it would be the ps brand getting axed big time this gen around, especially after 2 consecutive gens of dominating. In the software aide of things, i must say the the lems was the ones that got owned the hardest here. In 07 (the ps3 actual 1st year in the race), the ps3 wasn't doing very well, especially seeing all the pre launch hype it recieved from fanboys and PRs alike. During that time, the ps3 was called many of names (one of my most favorite is "the glorified blu-ray player". It owns lems so hard) and their line-up that year was considered "crap", even though a few of them wasn't flops and disipte most of them recieving AA scores. Also, during that time , or eariler that year, it was stated that because the ps3 had a weaker GPU, their exclusives would never look as great as the 360's and since sony was loosing 3rd party exclusives left to right and most of their major 1st party titles flopping, things wasn't looking too bright for the ps3 and was even hailed to be the next deamcast and with Gears being the console graphics king, didn't help matters at all. lemming was running wild here at GS.

On June 12, 2008, is when the ownage started rolling onto the lems. !st off, MGS4 did the impossible and was the only exclusive to recieved this a AAAA score, then later on that year, the ps3 had recieved 2 more AAA games and with the record from 07, the lems knew that they had 08 in the bag as well, only to have fate show it's side of irony to the lems by floppping most of their AAA hyped games of 08 and only making out of 08 with 1 AAAE. Now 09 has came and the 360 have yet to recieve a AAAE game this year so far while that "glorified blu-ray player" recieved 2 AAAE's this year already. While this is all ownage for the lems to bask in, the one that gets me the most is when lems are now forced to use AA games to help their library to look better than the ps3's when back in 07, anything less than an AAA was considered crap because from June of 08 - June of 09, the ps3 recieved 4 AAAE's, 1 AAAAE while it took the 360 3 years for 5 AAAE's, and the console's best looking exclusive while getting WAY more repect on their 1st party dev team then they ever did in 07.

BTW, sorry for the wall o text, but i felt i had to really explain where i'm coming from with this

Sonys fall from grace tops them all IMO.

There last in the handheld and home console race, last in software sales. And rely on a last gen console grouped together with its failing current gen consoles to claim ownage over one console ? :lol: thats a victory for sheeps and Lems IMO

Edit: Pluis with the massive amoount of exclusives the ps3 has lost this gen (Tekken, GTA, FF13)

this

Final Fantasy going to the 360 and Kz2 getting AAAe and Nintendo going from last place to first.

It has to be FF13 on xbox. I remember system wars exploded that day.

When Monster Hunter became a Wii exclusive I bawled. :(

MGS4

Wii domination

and SMG GOTY

I consider the loss of FFXIII the biggest loss a Sony supporter could ever endure, not because of fanboy pride and nonsense but because that was one of the last games that the Playstation Brand was identified with, now that its also for the 360 what exactly does it represent for the Ps3? Will people buy Ps3s to play it?

I would like to say MGS4 getting a 10.0 and being awarded the GOTY across the internet or Killzone becoming one of the best FPS titles of this gen are meaningful accomplishments, but in reality, they're not, the 360 really dealt a massive blow to the Ps3 and the system hasn't really countered that blow with anything and it pains me to say but Probably if it hasn't already it never will. Unless sony pulls off a cancellation of the 360 version, nothing will fix the damage the system has taken at least in my eyes.

[QUOTE="Killzowner"]360 not getting FFvs13. :lol:Giancar

Cows Victory with MGS4!

most significant fanboy victory

Panther501

When Twilight Princess, Resistance 1, and Gears of War 1 all got reviewed. It was ugly.

[QUOTE="Panther501"] srsly, who cares about fanboys, they're idiotsDVeight8

360 getting ff13 was actually cruel... they aren´t gonna get versus 13 T_T so if u like ff 13 and only have a 360 it will suck balls

WilliamRLBaker

i know... isnt that cruel too? xD anyway it was only a comment i ACTUALLY like ff13 on 360, because i like both consoles (PS3/360)

Last gen Sony fanboys constantly laughing at GC's stellar exclusive line up and touting sales as the most important thing.

This gen, the same fanboys touting Sony's exclusive line up and saying sales don't matter, then losing 3rd party staples Tekken and FF....

not really big but GT5 comes out the gate with amaaaazing graphics and then forza comes out with those graphics, sure took me by suprise
