why is the ps3 favored in system wars?

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"]All those saying this is cowspot are in denial. The fact is that there are equally number of lemmings and cows here. The posters with no strong preferences are the most though and people usually like the PS3 better because of the momentum it's going through. You can see polls where lemmings win all the time just no on which is the best console :)Stevo_the_gamer

TC, it is simple...Ps3 is just to awesome to not love.

Agreed, Wii exclusives at the end of the day are no higher quality then what was put on the Gamecube 10 years ago. You can never find an expereince like UC2 or GOW3 on the Wii. The amount of time and money the devs put in PS3 exclusives is far beyond anything you will see go into Wii developement .

I found these videos and it might tell you a reason why.

I've been here years and some of you might have heard of me :P, and even longer than my account suggests. Gamespot was a PC only site, and when it went to consoles, there wasn't a lot of fanboy's for Nintendo, and especially Sony machines. The Xbox had Sega and Micro fans from the get go here, and it was very interesting. I liked coming to SW because this place was one of the few places on the net that the PS2 was heavily hated on (I'm talking about the SW community). It was most interesting to see that here. IGN's community for instance, was the opposite, it seemed. Of course, there has always been fanboys for all the machines GC, Xbox, and PS2. I'm not suggesting that it was that lopsided.

Have you guys ever really looked at the fanboy names and thought about them...Lemming, Sheep, Cow, Hermit? C'mon, which ones are the most derogatory? It's obvious.

Over time, more fans came on board for all the machines, but the Xbox 1 was far more popular in SW than you would see in reality. I don't know if that has to do with Xbox management being so well versed in the net, GS's history as a PC site, but created an interesting place.

Wii60 was even a hugely popular notion, that all here are quick to forget. Wii60 Unions were going proud, banners, and of course, a there are still unions here today at GS that are still infested Wii60 styIe, they just keep that quiet these days.

The PS3 had some love before the $599 pricepoint, at the point, until about mid 2008, it was tough to be a PS3 owner. There will always be fanboys but the popular ones were guys like General MLD, Saolin, Red Cloak, Yellow, Dan the man, and many more, etc. Those guys were very, very Xbox oriented, which was fine, and they had a lot of influence. Overtime (2006-2007ish?) they left, and here we are today. MGS4 (mid 2008 ) market a turning point for the PS3. It wasn't until later that year in 2008 with LBP and R2 adding two more AAA's to the PS3 did this place start to begin to balance out.

We all saw how 2009 went, so obviously that has pushed the PS3 into a more popular status, which is where we are today.

The Sheep were strong going into this gen...but overime there strength has dwindled.

As far as the notion there are more cows than any other faction, that's not the case. What has happened is there are more PS3 owners. They aren't cows, as they still have 360's or Wii's, but they exist now. The PS3 fanboy populace has increased of course, but not to any level where this is cowspot.Cows are just more numorous as the PS3 is affordable now ($299). PS3 does have momentum right now, that can't be argued, and does of course affect SW as well.

You guys remember accusations of Lemspot, correct? 2004-mid 2008? I think it's funny how temporary memories are here sometimes. Polls are all over the place here, and the populace changes at any given time.

In the end, some days it is cowspot, some days it is lemspot, but I haven't seen a sheepspot in quite a while. It doesn't help the Wii has had an AAAE drought since early 2008. That didn't help matters. I'm looking forward to Sheep day 2010...I'm sure the AAAE drought will end this year for the Wii, and I look forward to visiting SW that day. :P

Remember too guys, it's also about PERCEPTION. If you like a system, you may be more sensitive to comments against that system, you know? That's a heavy role here in SW, and we tend to forget it.

Thanks SolidTy! As several members have already noted, that was one of the most solid and informative posts ever. I totally agree with your take on perception and its huge role in SW. I have been visiting gamespot since they bought out gamecenter; however, I have not joined the fun in the forums until recently. It has definitely been a ride.

Thanks for the compliment, mate. :P Nice to see you've been around a while before you hopped right in.:)

Because the PS3 has a browser and people don't talk much on PSN

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]It's funny to see the PS3 defeat the PC in polls, especially when it comes to exclusives and best system of the year. That's more than enough evidence to me to say there's more users here who lean Sony. Much like in my Wii Exclusivies vs. PS3 Exclusives thread, even though the Wii has a huge lead over the PS3 in terms of quality exclusives... the PS3 still won. Isn't that rather interesting?TheSterls

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"] Maybe people think PS3 exclusives are better? Interesting how your interesting theories never explain polls where the PS3 actually loses.Mario1331

There it is, im surprised you need proof to accept whats common knowledge as of now.

i posted a poll a while back as far as what people think is the best console. i've done this a few times and most people vote for the ps3. Is this a case of fanboys wanting to justify their purchase because they spent so much money for it or is there another more logical nonbiased reason?

To be honest I've had a 360 this entire gen. I'm starting to find the games to be missing that extra something and if you have a good reason why i should spend that kind of money now is your chance. To be honest i've held off this long ebcause ps3 exclusives for the most part are pretty limited. I do think it has more potential but it's not really being taken advantage of like i would like.

those are my reasons for holding off.

You said that you think the PS3 has "more potential" and that's from a distance. In SW, fanboys will always be involved, so if you want an honest opinion and have the means, perhaps it's time to take the plunge. You might just find some of those exclusives bring more to the table than you have supposed.

PS3 had more amazing stuff to offer in 08 and 09. That may change this year, but that's how it's been going so far.

Also, the PS3 has seemed to set the graphical standards for consoles. Even if it has only done this with a couple games, a couple games is all it needs.

That being said, I think "PS3 is winning right now, so 360 must suck" attitude is stupid.
