Why Sony Fanboys Are the Worst of the Bunch

The Mind of Game writes - "Before I get into this editorial/rant, let me set the record straight. I absolutely, positively do not hate Sony itself or the PlayStation brand. I do not blame Sony for the actions of the people who have chosen to stand behind them. I have nothing against the PlayStation brand and I honestly believe that Sony is doing great things with their stable of consoles and handhelds.

Their fanboys on the other hand? They are among the most illogical, irrational, arrogant and all around idiotic group of people I have ever come across. In the past five years of going to various forums and just being in tune with the internet in general as it relates to gaming, I've come across just about every type of fanboy you can think of. Microsoft fanboys, Nintendo fanboys, Apple fanboys, even Sega fanboys and none of them, without exception, can compare to Sony fanboys in terms of sheer annoyance."

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

it was nothing but Xbox fans acting in the same manner.

Comeuppance perchance?

[-Alpha]

It all depends on where you hang out.

I'm sure ratios are different depending on what site you go to. I hang out on Gamespot too and find 360 fanboys much more vocal there than here. Fanboys are all bad. Saying one is worst than the other isn't a good resolution, it only adds to the fire.

I find that with Sony fanboys they are simply more vocal because they have more to make up for: their console is in last place and they are trying to take pride in Sony outselling and their games out-performing the competition. Sony fans have taken a beating: last gen the PS2 dominated and this year its much different. It's only natural to expect Sony fanboys to be more headstrong. Imagine the retaliation by 360 fanboys when/if PS3 outsells 360. Just look at how 360 fanboys today react to games like God of War 3.

Personally I really don't care what the hell happens to the industry and its companies. I find that trying to take some sort of pride in a piece of plastic or some company only leads to being dishonest with your thoughts: People who own a system are so insecure about the other fanboy group saying something to tarnish their console's image that they aren't even willing to be open and honest with their console themselves. You will never hear a PS3 owner say something bad about the PS3 because he fears being called a 360 fanboy in disguise and vice versa. To hell with all that-- I will criticize anything and everything as long as I have a good reason. Unfortunately people are so mindful of the image of their console that they take any criticism as bad. An Xbox fan will defend Halo to the death and a Playstation fan will defend graphics as if it means everything. I am sure that even fanboys dislike something from their console and wish for something from the opposite console but will never admit it because of the amount of hostility.

[Rumor Monger]

iam sure all the appovers here are M$ fanboys...

how can a gamer submit this flamebait article, and talk about fanboisim?
can you see the irony here

[-Alpha]

Are you aware of how many flamebait PS3 articles get approved or how garbage generally gets approved anyway? The approval system is totally flawed. The article has a flamebait title but I think that the author does a decent job making an argument. I just don't agree with him that one side is "worse" than the other, but I do think, depending on where you go one side tends to be more vocal or dominate more.

[lociefer]

i bet this is goin to get approved , lol a fanboy article written by a fanboy

[jamesrocks3147]

ps3's know what there talking about unlike people who own 360's it has to be said.

[WildArmed]

Why authors like these are the worst bunch?

Thats an article I'd spend time reading.

After this we'll probably get an article for 360 fanboyss, Mac fanboys, PC fanboys etc etc

[xTruthx]

lol you wanna know how this isn't true, they have done over 3 articles trying to explain y. While there hasn't been any of the 360, y ? because every 1 knows the real truth lol. You just have to come to n4g and see those multiple accounts and those swears kids say to try and get their delusional points across. They are so dedicated that they make even more accounts with spoilers and waste their time sending PM's to everyone telling them the spoilers. Now thats real dedication.

Heres an example

From MetalGearRising
******* is the Killer in Heavy Rain enjoy it now LOLOLOLOLOLOLO!!

[Cold 2000]

"When I first commented on N4G 3 years ago..."

I keep on seeing that excuse. I've com across some threads from long ago and dont see anything like that.

I mean heres an article that is almost 3 years old for instance. http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

I dont see the hordes of 360 fanboys everyone is talking about. I'm not going to post every 3 year old thread but if you just skim through a couple well you realize its BS.

Its just an excuse to justify their stupid behaviour.

edit: heres another example. http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...
This site actually almost hasnt changed at all.
BTW I bet the people saying that and agreeing with post 1.0 are people who werent even on this site back then.

[dendenmooshi]

I bet the writer is a xbox360 fanboy.

Honestly, Sony fans aren't the only ones doing this. 360 fans do this as well. Wii fans would do this too if they weren't adolescent. To single out just Playstation fanboys is blatant bias, and honestly when I read the title it was pretty funny and obvious.

[Digitaldude]

Dumb article, so not needed.

[Anorexorcist]

But I honestly, truthfully believe that MS fanboys are the most deluded, blind fanboys that I have ever witnessed (and this is being written by a person whose history with fanboys started within the NES generation). The MS execs themselves are a showpiece of the kind of delusionism the MS fanboy crowd displays on a regular basis.

All you have to do is referrence back to the article submitted yesterday of Aaron Greenburg making such ludicrous statements as FFXIII proving the Xbox 360's power and Xbox being the most powerful gaming console on the market. Anyone with a shred of reasoning and logic could see that those statements are consistantly proven not to be rooted in reality.

[Winter47th]

This article getting approved on N4G debunks the title.

[Dannagar]

If someone's a fan of a particular console, fine. In face, and educated gamers is a joy. I just hate the retard extremists.

[InfectedDK]

"Why Sony Fanboys Are the Worst of the Bunch"

Lol get back to your Halo

[Eddie20101]

Not worth commenting on, really.

Just someone who needs attention and is very long winded.

[Tony P]

It only seems like they're the worst (on N4G at least) because they're the most prevalent right now.

[Consoldtobots]

"In the past five years of going to various forums and just being in tune with the internet in general as it relates to gaming"

EPIC FAIL right there, kid I was on the internet when mommy was wiping your butt and obviously explains why you feel Sony fanboys are the worst of the bunch.

uhm you don't find 360 fanboys in droves here because they got run out of the town called N4G. People who complain about PS3 fans OBVIOUSLY weren't here at the start of this console generation. We told all the 360 trolls back then that their PS3 bashing party wouldn't last forever to which in turn they just laughed and ridiculed us. Payback is a biotch huh?

[Cold 2000]

Sony fanboys express their enthusiasm by hating on the 360. They spend as much time hating on the 360 as talking about the PS3.

360 fanboys express their enthusiasm by being enthusiastic of the 360.

Sums it up.

@anoexorcist: I disagreed but didnt anwser simply because damn!! I mean do I even need to say why I disagreed? Sometimes BS is simply BS and doesnt need an answer.

[Serjikal_Strike]

Now its my turn!!

"Why Sony Fanboys Are the Worst of the Bunch"

In all honesty... presently on N4G (at other sites i don't know), yes it's true, the PS3 fanboys are the worst kind. Certain PS3 fanboys do have a tendency to whine and cry about everything that doesn't favor the PS3, specially reviews of PS3 exclusives (every exclusive PS3 deserve a 10 from every review site)... but this does not mean that there aren't pretty stupid X360 fanboys also in N4G.

Maybe this is because there are more PS3 fanboys in N4G then there are X360 fanboys.

Well... there are stupid fanboys in both sides.

[Anorexorcist]

Well don't you think all that so-called "enthusiasm" by the 360 fanboys would be best expressed in Xbox 360-only articles, instead of practically every PS3 and PS3 software-related article that most idiot MS fanboys troll to try and soothe their pathetic fanboy egos by making themselves think the PS3 doesn't have better games and isn't speeding up fast in the console market share race?

Edit @ Disagree

Don't worry, you don't actually have to answer my question because I know you couldn't even come up with a logical answer to it anyway even if you tried.

[badz149]

"Are you aware of how many flamebait PS3 articles get approved or how garbage generally gets approved anyway?"

yeah? but I don't think I've seen anything so blatantly addressing "xbox fanboys are the worst of the bunch" kinda article here! - although we can expect it to come any minute now because you know how counter articles always find a way to the front page over here!

the writer is a fanboy himself and I think he's the worst kind of fanboy, which to a degree of instead talking about games, he chose to smack talk about fanboys of the other side! that's dedication! LOL LOSER!

[Immortal321]

with multiplat games, but when it comes to their exclusive it's "gameplay over graphics time!!!"

they love to pull the history card, the MS exclusive, the exclusive DLC, the xbl is still better, and the most stupid most mentally challenged one of the bunch, "In my OPINION!

[badz149]

"360 fanboys express their enthusiasm by being enthusiastic of the 360"

LOL that made me laugh so hard! they are so enthusiastic to the 360 and came up with user name like "ps3hasnogames", "ps3hasonlyflopgames" ;, "giantenemycrab", "Wii360BeatsPS3" and so on...it goes both ways dude! stop being delusional!

[xTruthx]

lol Cold 2000 that last comment you made was just priceless. You should be a comedian, you really know how to make people laugh

Cold 2000 is a good example of one of those delusional fanboys

[Information Minister]

I bet this article was written by Bungie, A.K.A. GreenRingOfLife, A.K.A. [insert obvious trollish name here]. The guy's been pretty quiet over the last week or so. I suspected nothing good would come out of it.

But yeah, Sony fanboys are definitely "among the most illogical, irrational, arrogant and all around idiotic group of people". Unlike those incredibly level headed Xbox fanboys... Like Bungie... Eeeehhhrrr... /s

EDIT @ 1.12 - And with a single phrase you pretty much owned the author of the "article", the contributor who submitted it and the idiots who approved it.

[beans]

I've been on this site for along time (about 5 or 6 years)off and on and will confirm that there has never been a majority lead of 360 fanboys. PS3 fanboys have always been here whining about anything and everything that doesn't favor Sony. The good thing for Sony is that these cry babies keep there name alive but the bad thing is we have to sit here and read there cry's everyday.

[coolcole93]

Great posts+bubbles.

[cool cole]

Ya I agree, no real fanboy is worse than the other, and articles like these are just added to the flame.

[EvilBlackCat]

"I absolutely, positively do not hate Sony itself or the PlayStation brand. I do not blame Sony for the actions of the people who have chosen to stand behind them.

- wow that exactly my opinion

"The problem is Sony fanboys (and to a lesser extent, fanboys in general) don’t realize that. It’s perfectly fine to disagree with reviews; it is not fine to attack the reviewer or reviewers because of said disagreement. Not only are you committing a logical fallacy but you’re demonstrating remarkable immaturity."

- LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PWNED

To: All video game players

"We, PS3 owners, are very angered at the fact that Microsoft stole one our most awaited exclusive. We are angered that the game Final Fantasy 13 goes multi-platform and immediatly demand to Square Enix that they change their decision and make the game an exclusive PS3 title.

There is no point for Final Fantasy 13 to be on the Xbox 360. Final Fantasy 13 should only be on the PS3. End of story!

Every signature will be counted as someone who agrees with the petition statement"

-x2LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"they believe that every game on their platform, no matter which company may have developed it and published on their platform is theirs and theirs alone. They look down upon fans of other consoles for not possessing these games and when those fans do get the chance to play those games, Sony Fanboys can’t take it."

-YES!!! PS3 It Only Does Everything YUP! makes you an immature kid!

[CimmerianDrake]

Your example is pathetic. First of all, there are NO comments in the gamer zone at all, all of them are in the Open Zone (i.e. fanboy zone) and the first comment is from probably the biggest 360 fanboy on this site. Did YOU read the comments?

[Cold 2000]

Lol I knew it. Thanx for clearing that up.

@above: from what I understood by reading the blogs is that there used to be only one single zone. Not 2 zones like today.

edit: I posted the wrong link to my first post.
Heres the right one http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

[Imalwaysright]

It doesnt matter wich company they support, they are all the same: arrogant, idiotic, illogical, and hypocrites!!

@ n4gn4g So just because 360 fanboys acted like idiots its ok for PS3 fanboys to do the same? Thats mature!!

@ Cold lol the hypocrisy!!

[Boody-Bandit]

and it's submitted and approved in minutes by haters (1 of which is the biggest hater and contributor to your garbage)!
It's official N4G. Your site has completely gone to SH!T!

[gaffyh]

Tbh, I could make an article with EVEN MORE proof against Xbox fanboys and PC fanboys. This article is entirely subjective, because from my experience, Xbox fanboys are the most idiotic, and PC fanboys are the most militant.

The reason I say this is that for some reason, Xbox fanboys can't understand simple facts. No matter how much proof you give them, they still can't accept that Uncharted 2 for example, is a better game graphically than a 360 game. PS3 fanboys are mainly idiotic when a game is going non-exclusive, but that doesn't mean that this argument has no credence. I mean how many times have we seen exclusive games look and play better on either console?

I could give SEVERAL examples, but I just can't be bothered. Fanboyism is subjective and depends on what website you are reading:
N4G - Mainly PS3 fans.
GT - Mainly PS3 fans.
Gamespot - Mainly Xbox fans.
Gamefaqs - Seems pretty even.
Neogaf - Overrun with Nintendo fanboys.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

actually...the 'mature' thing to do is read and parse my statement using common English rules.

I posed a question...I didn't make a statement.

[xTruthx]

I love 3 of the comments above that say "ps3 fanboys are the worst" that come from 3 major 360 fanboys on this site lol

[jamesgtaiv]

to set them selves up as flame bait like this guy has. And the way he did it was epic. I cant wait to read future articles from this dude. The funniest part though, is that he completely contradicts his point with this article. Hes talking about how annoying PS fanboys are yet I dont think Ive ever seen anyone besides this guy go on a rant like this and have the nerve to post it on a news site. I think the proper word to use in a situation like this is FAIL.

[baum]

"Whoever calls me an idiot is only proving me right".

Wow, just wow. Worthy of HHG. Not surprising if you look at the guys' picture.

[bnaked]

From 2005 to 2007, the 360 fanboys have dominated N4G. ("ps3 has no games", "Gears of War 2 best looking game", etc..)
From 2007 to 2009, there was the zenith of the fanboy war. It was the time of Killzone 2. This game was the first real argument for the PS3 fanboys. N4G exploded..
From 2009 until now, PS3 fanboys are dominating, because of almost one title: Uncharted 2. Whatever the 360 fanboys are claiming, Naugthy Dog showed the superiority of the PS3 and now, the fanboy war should be over..
Move vs Natal is the last fight. Crytek's version of Crysis 2 will look better on PS3 and most multiplatform developers will choose the ps3 as the lead platform. PS3 grafics will be better and better and the sales will surpass the 360 sales.

ps3 fanboys have won, war is over. We should shut the f*ck up!

[2cents]

with N4G being an open forum, there is no escaping the number of random comments that will appear. All ages and countries and most importantly, maturity. Its hard to have a focused debate due to the number of randoms spamming the senses, coupled with the internet and suddenly all respect flies out the window and the floor becomes a free for all.

Things can quickly descend into chaos, and all manner of cr@p is said.
The big reason why many say that the PS3 fanboy camp is the worst can often fall to the reason that the PS3 is the most powerful console of the bunch and has shown and is showing that it can set the standard in terms if integration, graphics, etc.

But fanboys from any camp can turn good news into taunting news, and with the PS3 having taken off its training wheels of the early years and riding strong, all of the 360 fanboy taunting of the early days of lack of games, poor multi plat, no rumble weak 6axis implementation etc. one by one these problems vanished. Now that the PS3 is impressing on all fronts, fanboys will take this as a free ticket to rip anyone a new one if they even open their mouths about anything negative to do with it. 360 fb's dont have much to lol about now but PS3 fb's on the other hand have plenty of ammo, dvd capacity, graphical prowess, port quality etc.

fanboyism sucks

[morganfell]

If Stevie Wonder was an idiot he would be the author of this moronic article. Is it PS3 fans that continually submit "console x is doomed". Or worse, who was on N4G exposng the endings of two recent major titles. There is nothing worse than ruining a game for someone.

[nefertis]

@ themindofgame.com stop b!tc#ing about ps3 fanboys. Its bad fanboys everywhere. Playb3yond

[Will-UK]

This should not be approved it's just gonna fuel a fanboy war.

The author seems to single out one group forgetting what other fanboys do

For example 360 fanboys spoiling Heavy Rain

2007 - PS3 has no games/blu-ray player

Uncharted 2 is overhyped doesn't deserve GOTY

Natal is revolotionary and ps move is a wiimote (forget natal being an advanced eyetoy)

I remember ps3 fans trying to reason with 360 fanboys on n4g in 2007 and have bubbles taken away same kinda thing happened on metacritc to ps3 game scores

my point is you can just single out 1 group

[Therealspy1776]

there was a way to limit comments to the people who actually READ THE DAMN ARTICLES! the responses to this article were so predictable, and it's apparent that most of you read little more than the title and maybe the first paragraph. what a sad community we're involved in

[Anon1974]

No one group of fanboys is somehow "worse" than the other. All fanboys do a disservice to the real fans out there, fans of videogames.

All this article does is fuel the flames. Well done, douchebags.

[tinybigman]

why gamers are the worst on all sides. im sorry but this is the absolute worst ive seen it. people arguing over who sold more, who's games are best. its pure stupidity if you ask me.

if you love gaming then you should own all 3 systems if not 2 and enjoying the games that are on them.

thank god i dont have to worry about this as i own all 3 and have great games for all of them.

one more thing the internet has also made this generation horrible too.

[PimpHandHappy]

PS3 fans are more then likely to have been gaming for years... 360 fans are more then likely to have been gaming for under 8.... Just saying

Gameinformer said it themselves... Average age of PS3 gamer is 34... 360 is 24

[MNicholas]

by being controversial.

Oldest trick in the book. Seems like it worked.

[littletad]

Sony was bashed by ALL gamers alike for seemingly odd decisions regarding the ps3. From $599 price tag, to possible removal of hdmi on 20 gb sku, to horrible showings at E3, to lack of games. These were not fanboy "rants" or fanboy "arguments". They were clearly constructive criticism on a brand that had begun making very odd decisions in their business plans. Maybe there were bashings. But I guarantee if Microsoft would make an announcement to price LIVE at $100 a year, we would see the same manner of attitudes. The extent Sony fanboys are willing to go to these days, and their majority hold here on N4G including moderators, trounces however bad it was 3 years ago for 360 fans.

[Redempteur]

i'm a water fanboy ... i don't drink wine , soda , juice or stuff like that ..

i only drink water !!

HERE I SAID IT ... feel free to call me a water fanboy now....

[TheBlackSmoke]

The way i see it...

Sony fanboys = Obsessive: obsessed with proving the superiority of the PS3 (even though any sane person knows this anyway).Wont let an argument die until they feel it is won. plus some entitlement issues.

Ms fanboys = Delusional: Will make up anything to win even when the facts right in their face say otherwise. Always spin positive sony news in to a negative. Change their own "rules" to suit each argument

eg: will change argument from graphics to meta to sales constantly.

[boodybandit]

You should change the name of your site to the mindlessrantsofaknownothingchi ld.wasteofbandwidth

N4G why are you allowing this? I can't believe anyone with net access can write garbage (ranting like a lunatic pointing fingers) and have it approved on a site that was built for news for "gamers". This isn't news. This is just flamebait garbage and the ranting of a kid that is barely old enough to understand what a fanatic is. No one side is better or worse, right or wrong. Hate is hate and has no place in gaming and especially no place in the gamerzone.

Gaming is suppose to be fun. It's a hobby and not a warzone. Why do you (N4G) allow this nonsense to get approval and show up in the gamer zone when your rules clearly state we are suppose to leave our fanboyism at that door to post in the gamerzone?

N4G members. Whether you are a gaming fan or prefer one console over the other, how can any of you sit here and discuss this nonsense? Everyone that has the status to do so should report garbage like this instead of discussing it and giving this kid the hits and attention he so desperately is looking for.

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

So he's annoyed because PS3 fanboys speak the truth? When we say things like FF13 dumbed down and content were cut off because of the 360, it isn't true? Seriously DVD and the 360 has its limits.

[Varodor]

complaing about fanboi reacton to FF13

[Varodor]

he say "hate to macrosoft" as though it something new invented be ps3 fanboys.
Complaining about ps3 fanboy reaction to ff13 go multi,i want see xbox fanboy reaction to gears of war go multi

[FamilyGuy]

I wrote:

First off, I don't agree with your article, though I will say you're very good expressing your opinion coherently and without anger.
I disagree with anyone claiming that one set of fanboys is worst than another because just as you wrote this I or anyone else could argue why another group is "the worst".

What I actually have a problem with is your constant use of "logical thinking" while at the same time being void of the skill. You touched on it in the article but your comments are actually what provoked me to comment.

You say-
"Fanboys are wrong for assuming that it was the 360’s “fault” for the content being cut because there is no evidence to support that claim. It would be different if Square-Enix actually said that the content was cut because of size constraints but they did no such thing at any point and long before this came up, they said that the game would not be limited because of it being ported to the Xbox 360. Therefore, it is logical to assume that these cuts were not made because of the 360. If you have evidence that shows that it was, I’d be glad to see it."

and-
"Square Enix explicitly stated before that the PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII would not be compromised because of the Xbox 360. Look it up if you want proof of that claim. Now, based on that, it can be logically assumed that the content was not cut because of the 360."

While "thinking logically" did you consider that fact that Square Enix might have lied? They aren't exactly a trust worthy company after all.
examples:
The claimed that work on the 360 port would not start until the PS3 version was complete yet had FF13 running on 360 hardware at E3.
They claimed that the 360 and PS3 versions of FF13 were equal yet the 360 version is sub-hd, in fact it's just a few pixels higher than standard definition in PAL territories.
They sent out doctored photos of the 360 version to hide the fact that it was inferior to the PS3 version.

That said, I won't claim that just because someone has been caught lying once, twice or three times that they're lying all the time but I will say that their credibility is questionable. Therefore I don't believe it to be "illogical" to assume that the PS3 version WAS in-fact compromised (in a negative way) because of the 360 "port".

There are simply too many coincidences that tie the negative aspects of the game to the limitations of the 360.
The game is extremely linear, something we haven't seen from SE games since the days of the PS1 generation of FF titles (that were all multiple disc).
The portion of the game that was cut had no explanation yet it IS "logical" to think that it was due to size constrictions as SE has never had a problem with having "too much" content or things to do before. They're actually pretty well known for the vast exploration of the worlds they create. They also stated the they really wanted to keep the game from being four disc because of the cost associated with publishing a four disc game.

Last thing, sense this was "the straw that broke the camels back" for you.
About that video of "PS3 fanboys" being angry and booing the prize at that event. Logically they must be PS3 fanboys simply because they booed at a 360 prize? I don't believe so.
Final Fantasy fans:
1. Already had/have/had pre-odered FF13 by the time of this event, making the "prize" less desirable.
2. FF13 fans are likely to know that the 360 version is inferior from following FF13 news.
3. FF fans are likely to have come to the conclusion that the newest addition of their favorite series was effected negatively because of the 360 version.

I would argue that those particular "fanboys" were actually Final Fantasy fanboys. It's possible that many of them were PS3 fanboys as well but it's more likely that they were just fans of the series and the 360 version was a "button" for them. That goes for those petition writers and signers as well and I only say that because "thousands" signed it and PS3 fanboys probably number in the millions.

What do you guys think of MY logic?

[CimmerianDrake]

I'm NorthernDragon on that article, and he hasn't replied to either post that I've made. Though clearly everyone can see how I used actual logic to his detriment.

[Tru_Ray]

To declare that one side is categorically more annoying, delusional, and illogical than the other is... ANNOYING, DELUSIONAL, AND ILLOGICAL!!

All fanboys are prone to make moronic comments incessantly. If they didn't make those comments, they wouldn't be fanboys.

This d!pshit blogger thinks that he is enlightening our community with this amateur drivel, but in the reality he merely outed himself as a fanboy!

LOL

[FamilyGuy]

Yeah I was just reading your comment thinking, "Crap, this guy pretty much said what I said, before I said it."

Awesome post

It's ironic that he doesn't like fanboys yet writing an article like that does nothing but bring out fanboys from all sides.

[Mini Mario]

What a great article.

[ape007]

if you think about it in a large scale, sony fanboys are indeed the worst of the bunch

Remember the DMC boycott??

FF hate, boos

MAG RULES, bc2\mw 2 sucks

etc....

don't get me wrong, sony ps3 is a hell of a console no doubt but its the fanboys are the most stupid, most insecure cry babies I've ever seen

DMC boycott cause its released on 360, gemme a Brake, Imagine what is the looks on their face

[Pika-pie]

It would only be a Microsoft fanboy who would write an essay on why Sony fanboys are worse..

Who gives a monkey really, there both bad and writing a flamebait article will only make things worse.

[king123]

you're gonna get burned alive
I'm sure that one of then works with taleban

[sid4gamerfreak]

Lets be honest here, n4g is completely plagued with the most retarded ps3 fanboys ever. Every time they come to the 360 article and bash and hate it. Having said that though, the 360 fanboys r no better. All im saying is that u cant say that one is worse than the other, all of them r ignorant and foolish. N4G is a ps3 dominated website, Gamespot is where all the 360 gamers r, so each website has their own share of fanboys.The gaming community in n4g is sliding downhill, because of U fanboys. Thanx a lot.

Not only r microsoft and sony laughing at all u fanboys, theyre taking all ur cash as well.

@bnaked: Good way to show ur ignorance and fanboyism...

[mastiffchild]

If you say one set is worse than the other you must have a preference that steps over the line yourself. Simple as that:this fella is a fanboy too and there's no getting away from it.

From what I see there may be a few more Ninty fanboys who I'd describe as inveterate dreamers and a higher proportion of MS fanboys that accept whatever their company does without exception or complaint while a similar number of Sony fanboys are more prepared to moan at Sony than the others are to complain to/about theirs. Fact is, though, they all show a weird idea that somehow their company loves them like they love their company which , as faceless corporations, they really don't and basically all merely want your money and for you to shut your mouths complaining but gladly accept you spinning their greed so it looks OK.

Fanboys(even PC/Mac ones)do little more than make sure we don't stand up for each other as a united community and as a direct result we're prolly the easiest consumer group to rip off in existence.At least Sony fanboys will, and pretty often, also take Sony to task when they think something is wrong-but that's their ony good point!

Writing an article stating Sony fanboys are the worst really shows it's own bias, imo, especially when , on most English language sites there's WAY more 360 fanboys talking crap and spreading FUD. As for N4G, if I'm not mistaken we've had some low acts from 360 fanboys recently with the spoiler attempts for HR springing most keenly to mind right now along with blogs slagging GOW3(using poor GOW2 reviews to do so!)posted as actual news while features about the way Edge seems to deliberately underscore PS3 exclusives mysteriously wiped from existence despite meeting approval criteria. Seems to me the 360 fanboy is alive and doing just as much bad stuff as their PS3 counterparts(and I know PS3 fanboys tried to spoil Gears2 as well-all JUST as low, imo)so why is one more odious than the next. Fanboy=fanboy and I suspect author of article saying PS3 fans are worse than others also, possibly, =a little bit biased themselves.

We shouldn't make a distinction, imo, certainly not over which flavour tastes worst.

[TheColbertinator]

Hope you guys enjoy my article

[Model]

It sucks, look at mrv321's comment, xbots are the most pathetic scum

[blitz0623]

The fact that you wrote it proves that you're one of the worst fanboys also. If you want to prove that Droids are worse than Bots, writing won't solve anything, it only makes you look like a total idiot. Only fanboys themselves can look at themselves and tell themselves they are the worst of the bunch.

How pathetic.

[arsenal55]

awww bot is mad and makes an article lol. bots had it good in the beginning of this gen when 360 WAS better so they mouthed off all the time. Now ps3 is better so sony fans are the ones talking and bots make sad articles like these lol.

[XabiTheHumble]

a negative article about ps3 fanboys from a guy with an avatar holding a 360 controller lol the irony :)

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I've seen Steven defend Sony and the PS3 on here many times and was actually a strong supported of the PS3 since day 1.

He has a go at both sides. But even he recognizes one side is really working hard on the "worst" trophy.

[TROLL EATER]

sony fanboys back any horse poo related to ps3

[Noble Spartan]

100% Correct

Even though my childhood was on PS1 & PS2, even own a PS3, but the most pathetic fans i ever seen is PS3. I mean they go bordering lowlifes. They have no games to play so they come and bash online on N4G.

I mean they get anger for anything. God Of War 3 8/10 Edge? So what? when did 8 become bad rating? How could a game get 10 if its the same as others?

along with list of other games. So far PS3 only has impressed me with the amazing Metal Gear Solid 4! Favorite game on PS3.

[Noble Spartan]

Also booing in Final Fantasy show? Just wow how low sony trolls can get.

All there games have so far failed

MAG
Heavy Rain

God Of War 3 didn't push the hack and slash envelope sorry. 93% Metacritic.

As Devil may cry 1 94%
ninja gaiden - 94%

also PS3 move looks like a huge fail. But they now hypocrites and back up a complete Wii rip - off and just years ago they were laughing like trolls about wiimote.

Damn get a grip PS3 trolls. Stop backing up sony for poor decisions. Maybe someday they will realise and go back to the glory days of PS2/PS1

[mrdxpr2]

spartan u have just proved u are an idiot 360 fnboy that knows nothing about video games.. .how did heavy rain fail from what i see the game is great and mag i have it and its more fun then MW2 in my opinion ... and if u are a person that buys games especially sequels depending on the review u are one sorry person... now a days reviews are broken.. i have learned my lesson not too listen to reviewers cause not everyone has the same taste .. they gave R1 and R2 not soo low but not soo high scores and its one of my favorite FPS out there soo really .. your explanations for flops are just sales and lame reviews ...

[raztad]

LOL@xboys

Crying and whining about Sony fanboys. This is ridiculously funny.

"Karma is a b!tch".

@Noble Spartan

The real spartan will be on PS3 owners hands next tuesday. Keep telling you that, I guess it's hard to know you are missing out big time.

[Mo0eY]

Good job, Colbert. Open up the Gamer Zone with an insinuating comment to rile the droids. That's not fanboyish at all.

Also, you're lurking one of the biggest PS3 supported websites I've seen. It's quite obvious that you are going to see more droids than bots/wiitards, but I doubt you took that into account.

[L-Teezy]

people supporting sony had to put up with too much sh!t for the first 2 years of ps3's release. the fans of sony had to read the bullsh!t articles over and over of how the ps3 was doomed, and take all kinds of sh!t from the damn MS fanboys. now that sony is bustin heads with the kick ass games, and doing great with sales, i think its fair to have the attitude that the sony fans have. hell i bet the b!tch that wrote this article was 1 of the many little hoes talkin cad sh!t about the ps3 in its slow start.

[dustgavin]

"Hope you guys enjoy my article"

Posting this in the open zone is an obvious cry for attention. If you wanted to prove a point, you should have just let your article do the talking. Instead you sound as ignorant as any wii/360/ps3 fanboy on this site.

[Eddie20101]

The picture he used in his article pretty much negates any respect he thinks he deserves.

I'm a fan of the PS3, I have upwards of 60+ games and I play and use my PS3 all the time. I enjoy My PS3 very much.

I have a Xbox 360 and have about 50+ games for it, used to play it quite often not so much any more. Two reasons the Xbots on Xbots live and Microsoft manipulation and business practices.

The Xbots are the most narcissistic, whiny, stupid, hypocritical people on the net. Always botching about PS3 fanboys. The Nintendo fanboys don't botch PS3 fanboys, the PC fanboys don't botch about PS3 fanboys, the Apple Fanboys don't botch about PS3 fanboys, just the whiny ass Xbots do. Most of what they call being a fanboy is responses to the stupidity and out wright lying they do on a regular basis. As far as botching about review scores the Xbots made a lot noise about the scores that Halo ODST was getting when it was just essentially a expansion pack.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi_]

Come on now, no need to still be bitter about SONY killing off SEGA...let it go... ;-D

[sikbeta]

Steven Colbert?

Is that your real name?

lol I know Your Real NAME BUNGIE... talking about Sony Fanboys in a Derogative way... well at least from The TITLE itself, it's screaming the Situation of a FANBOY Complaining about OTHER FANBOYS and by that just for the sake of COMPLAIN this Article is worthless than the Pathetic Life of Bungie aka the Major Xboy-Fanboy-TROLL with Multiple Accounts on N4G

[Chimerhazzard]

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the only game that impressed you on the ps3? :\ I find that odd... I mean Metal Gear Solid 4 is good, but weren't you impressed by Demon's Souls? DS alone was enough for me to justify aquiring my PS3 :) You should try it, I am sure you would be impressed!

The only game on the xbox360 that impressed me as much as DS is Mass Effect 2, ME2 is AWESOME :D

And there are many other really good games on the PS3, I seriously don't understand how a gamer would not be impressed by any other PS3 game besides MGS4 :\ that's really wierd!

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

@Sikbeta

Steven Colbert has been here long before Bungie. He trolls both sides. In fact, he just trolled everyone here.

[JackBNimble]

OH how easily you xbuts forget.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Sony fanboys = Obsessive: obsessed with proving the superiority of the PS3 (even though any sane person knows this anyway).Wont let an argument die until they feel itis won. plus some entitlement issues.

Ms fanboys = Delusional: Will make up anything to win even when the facts right in their face say otherwise. Always spin positive sony news in to a negative. Change their own "rules" to suit each argument

eg: will change argument from graphics to meta to sales constantly.

[LEGENDARY PELON]

Is it me, or did the ps3 fangirls just got owned with this article?!?!?!?

[evilmonkey501]

Your synopsis is more accurate than most of us would like to admit.

[JackBNimble]

No, you 360 cry babies OWNED yourselves by supporting this crap.

Just another xbox FANBOY tear jerking moment, are you gonna go tell mommy that the ps3ers hurt your feelings?

[Gue1]

Colbot is just a butthurt xbox fan. He just act like a neutral guy in the comment section for the sake of his bubbles but this guy worship Bloodmask. =P

--------------------------
"If all you do is call me an idiot and leave, you’ll just be proving how right I am."

Like if that's going to change anything... What if you're right? Do you want a cookie or something? What's the deal here? 0_o

If you feel annoyed by one side or the other that just proves that you're a fanboy yourself. =)

[Microsoft Xbox 360]

I actually agree with TheBlackSmoke @ 1.20

Well said man.

[irepbtown]

Noble Spartan
Ofcourse PS1/PS2 were the glory DAYS, now it's about Graphics etc. Me personally, i like Graphics and smooth gameplay.

GOW3 93% isn't bad anyway, that's good.
As for Heavy Rain, it's really your own opinion, Interactive gameplay, not everyone will like it. I don't that much myself that's why i havn't got. As for MAG, i thought it was terrible.

Away from that comment

mrdxpr2
I completely agree with you,

[TheColbertinator]

I'm just messing with you all.I never wrote this article and I don't care who did.You PS3 fanboys just proved how manipulative you guys are.Fanboys need to look in the mirror and see how pointless this console war has become.

[Ratchet_Co]

I think each system fanboy has their own problems, it's not just the Sony fanboys. Releating to the article, I don't think it's actually fair to attack certain groups of fanboys. There's a comparison between the fanboys of all systems, and it's that they love their own systems, and dislike the others. You can't say one is worse than the other, they are all the same.

[Eamon]

Here's a theory:

If you actually felt upset or angry after reading the title of this article...

... then that means you're a helpless fanboy.

Right?

[aaronisbla]

here's another theory Eamon since you are wrong with yours: If you are a gamer and it upset you to see this article, its because you are tired of fanboy wars

[Eamon]

You have a point. But notice how there are over 300 comments here now.

I'm sure my theory works up to some point.

[Klipz-Wish]

Here we go again i think i see one article like this everyday

[Eamon]

Tell me about it

[Kratos19]

The one thing more annoying than fanboys are the judgmental asses who go on and on about which group is "teh worst".

[Aljosa15]

You mad? *Looks at avatar and name* Yup, you mad.

[Homicide]

I approve this article.

What's with the disagrees? I guess I don't approve of this article.

[LordMarius]

well there's a surprise /s

[Eamon]

ROFLMAO. That was a good laugh

[LordMarius]

butthurt bot written article

360 sucks
-that is all

[CliffyB]

Are you trying to prove this article correct in its assertions about ignorant and annoying Playstation fans or am I missing some joke?

[karan8624]

Is that you with your douche haircut holding a plastic Gears gun?

Im sorry, you're a complete tool

[Trebius]

5 years and ppl are still playing Gears 2 cause 360 has no games.

[sikbeta]

lol @CliffyB

"I'm lookz da cøøłz with my avatar Pic of MY Cliffy-B holding a lancer"

Pal, you're the joke here, you have NO Valid POINT and start to mess with avatars pictures [?] if you want, I can Change my Current Avatar Picture for a Pic of D!CK and you can mess with it All you Want...

lol just unbelievable

[CliffyB]

SIKBETA: did you just offer to change your avatar to a picture of a penis so I could "mess with it"? Come now boy. You're the one who likes to play with Sony dildo wands.

TREBIUS: You have a picture of spongebob as your avatar and one bubble. You could not be a bigger loser if your life depended on it.

KARAN8624: I'm a tool with a douche haircut? Wow, such hostility. Did this article hurt your feelings?

[LordMarius]

just ignore cliffy B, his sexuality confuses him too much

[God_Of_Epicness]

Hey CliffyB, you know Xbox sucks but why do you constantly defend it?

Answer is: Cos you're a lowlife troll. I'm betting my broken Xbox360(FACT) that you're gay. Give it up jack, you don't have the cash to buy a PS3.

And btw, last-gen called and they said they wanted their crappy white box back, the controllers which uses the double A batteries included too. But don't worry, they said they'll replace it with a more definitive box back and this time it's colour is shiny oh-so-beautiful black.

[mrv321]

Do PS3 fans sink so low and spoil stories of game such as Heavy Rain or God of War 3? No.

PS3>360(fans)

[Eddie20101]

I was watching the Ustream of the GDC Sony Conference and there were so many Xbots on there, saying negative things about PS3, Sony, Move. giving out Sony spoilers to Sony Exclusive games constantly through the whole conference.

The stupid Xbots botch about PS3 Fanboys commenting on Xbox topics that almost always mention PS3 somehow, but it's OK to do what they did with the GDC Sony conference. Xbot Hypocrites!!!

[mushroomwig]

Anybody who suggests that one form of fanboyism is worse than another is basically admitting to biased fanboyism themselves.

ANY form of fanboyism is equally bad.

[cereal_killa]

No fanboy will admit that there system of choice fanboys do anything wrong it's always "we're the victims" "stop bullying us". The article it self is right but it doesn't make them the worse both sides are just as bad some of them make it an embarrassment to others who respect gamers. Gaming is about playing games you enjoy, fanboyism is about who has the better sales,graphics and reviews. I don't have a problem with someones opinion as long as it's a logical one and not some idiotic response turning a persons debate into a flame war.

[Eamon]

True, fanboys are the same whichever crusade they are fighting for.

What is true is that some sites have more of one side than the other.

I noticed that N4G seems to be overwhelmed a bit more by Sony fans.
Oh shoot. I just did a taboo. Now I'll be disagreed with so much that what I say becomes the opposite. =O

[ironmonkey]

kool do we get an award for it?

[blasian]

and damnit im proud of it keep the hate coming

[evilmonkey501]

When everyone hates you, you must be doing something right:)

[S4NDM4N]

They are the worst. It is a cycle. 360 fans used to be terrible a few years ago

Nowadays, PS3 fanboys are the worst.

Wii fanboys are still learning reading and writing at their daycare

[Mini Mario]

"Wii fanboys are still learning reading and writing at their daycare"

Seriously man....this is what the article is talking about...posts like this.

[thief]

He who laughs last laughs best

Remember 2007?
The PS3 has no games
PS3 games will always look inferior to 360 games
The cell processor is useless for gaming
Blu-ray is not needed for games
The PS3 has inferior RAM
Killzone 2 graphics are a lie
3rd party developers will abandon the PS3

You dont have anyone to blame but yourself come 2009, when Sony started producing more and better exclusives, KZ2 makes Halo look like a PS2 game, and FF13 exposes the sheer inferiority of the dated 360 architecture

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Some fanboys, not owners of a PS3 for a reason, they are outdated believing those 8 things you said.

They believe in those 8 phrases, living and thinking in a lie. You tell the Facts of the things and then they will answer you like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

What a shame, obviously, from the Editor.

[Mini Mario]

Let me ask you...did you delete this guy's comment :-

"8.1 - @S4ANM4N
"Wii fanboys are still learning reading and writing at their daycare"

Delete that if anything

What a joke!!

[bobrea]

This article is wrong..all fanbiys suck..there is no "worst"

[Jumper09]

haha sooo true :D

[stuntman_mike]

so wheres our sony fanboy badges. lol and they expect people to take these gaming blogs seriously when they cant even rise above all this crap.

[cereal_killa]

Badges .....Badges.....We don't need no stinking Badges.

LOL @ disagrees ok I guess we do need badges!!!!

[stuntman_mike]

+200 exp
- gained Fanboy ignorance (ability to ignore all Bad points levelled at PS3)

- Gained Fanboy list's (when surrounded by foe's who put down your games, you pull out the mighty list of games that are infinitely better than all)

- Gained Fanboy Blame attack (when anything goes wrong with anything PS3 related blame XBOTS, Gaming press, Game Dev,s)

- Lost Credibility -2000 exp

- Gained Credibility for not being an XBOT +2000000 exp

LOL

[jack_burt0n]

Unfortunately it must appear like that if your not a sony fan, seeing as most of the time playstation fanboys are right and on average have a higher I.Q so i can totally see where this guy is coming from.

I still dont see Xbox is doomed articles all over the front page everyday being desperately submitted by tweens who are upset they cant afford to buy 2 consoles.

@crabby
Your name kind of validates my statement :)

Its a good thing comment histories go back a long time to before you owned a ps3 LOL :P

[GiantEnemyCrab]

"Unfortunately it must appear like that if your not a sony fan, seeing as most of the time playstation fanboys are right and on average have a higher I.Q so i can totally see where this guy is coming from."

Exactly what this article points out. Hilarious. Even 3 years ago when the site was supposedly run by 360 fanboys I never heard such arrogant piles of BS from them..

The whole reason I joined N4G was because this place was a FUD HQ for Sony fanboys to throw mud at the Xbox. All the way back when this place was supposed to be all 360 fans.

I am coming back to this article later because the comments like this one are going to be pure comedy.

Oh and I've been seeing the 360 fannies stepping up their rhetoric as well so they are starting to turn into the same kinda idiots.

This article should of never been approved imo.

EDIT: Jack: I don't hide my 360 fanboy attitude I had when I joined(much of it was a joke) and I gave you the reason for it above. Luckily, it took some time but I wised up and the PS3 GAMERS on this site showed me the system was worth it (and KZ2). Also having 2 failed PS2's I was already not a fan of Sony (much like many next gen will be because of RROD).

I could of just changed my name and started over like many have but I will live with my fanboy startings on N4G. What you didn't like Genj?

[jack_burt0n]

@crabby

Yeah I know you do, surely you can see my comment is aimed at the kind of person that writes an article like that and then submits it :)

imo if you can be a sony fan and go into a alan wake story and post something positive your ok, if your a 360 fan and can go into a heavy rain post and say something positive your alright :) lol otherwise you prob need to stick to ur designated section.

[stuntman_mike]

"yo Jack, we really shook the pillars of heaven did'nt we!"

Love that film!

[TheBand1t]

Gonna bookmark this page and come back later to read the comments. Should be hilarious.

[-MD-]

It's pretty much just PS3 fanboys crying about the article being approved. If the article was pointing the finger at 360 fans everybody would be having a party though.

Pretty funny.

[ico92]

its funny because fanboys wether their on the ps3,360,wii are pretty much irrelelvant to gaming other than the fact that they buy and play games but really the industry could do without them ,so how this is considered NEWS is beyond me. And besides look at this guys motivation (quick impression) "tha sony fanboys annoy me,let me make a quick "article" labeling an entire fanbase as idiots." i mean lol thats pretty childish

[HelghanEmperor]

stupid article from a stupid blogger. Nothing more needs to be said.

[dolomite]

Yeah right, everyone is a fanboy at one point or another. Even if you own all the consoles, you will be slightly biased to one or the other.

[GR8 1]

PS3 fan boy's are the scum of the gaming industry .......... U lot are laughed at from all corners of the WORLD.

[MajestieBeast]

Yeah i mean 360 fanboys are so smart even when their console dies for the 7th time they just buy a new 1. Hell they pay to use their own internet bububububu the voicechat is so worth it. Hell they support a system that dies on them constantly you cant get much smarter then that. You sir are the biggest moron on this site and that a is accomplishment

[awesomeperson]

U say WE'RE scum, when you bots go around trying to spoil games? Seriously?

[weazel]

All corners of the playground you mean. Grow up tw*t.

There's significantly better targets for all of the venom and spite being sprayed, and the consumers (across ALL formats) should be at the bottom of a very long list. Random bloggers, the media, and developers that manipulate and wring money should be more legitimate figures for targeting.

edit: Add rabid corporate PR's who try to manipulate opinion to the list of targets for righteous indignation.

You really want to see scum xboy? look in the mirror. What number account is this for you MGR/GR81? I've lost track.

[XDF]

Just take a look at any article on N4G, and the truth comes out. PS3 fanatics are the worst.

TOP 10 BIAS Against PS3 for the week of Mar 13 2010:

1. EDGE - Don't need to explain
2. Gametrailers - 93 for GOW3 and only 89 for Heavy Rain. They are money hated by Microsoft.
3. Teletext - The lowest scoring site on Metacrtitics for all PS3 games. They are out to get PS3.
4. Eurogamer - Digital Foundry and that Ledbetter guy is bias against the PS3 for Face-off. Every round the X360 wins. Can't be true.
5. Destructoid - Wote a similar piece about how PS3 fanboys are the worst, they Edge out Edge(no pun intended) for a good week for #1.
6. Gamereactor(insert the Country that is giving PS3 exclusive low score)
7. MSN - A Microsoft website gave 4/5 to GOW3, they are paid by Microsoft to do that.
8. Gamespot - WKC low scores, how dare them, WKC is at least a 8/10!
9. Lens of Truth - Purposely made PS3 screen worst so X360 can win
10. IGN - Didn't deduct points from X360 version of FF13, not fair!

[jack_burt0n]

@XDF

Listen if you read edge magazine on a regular basis you would not have a problem with people getting really pissed at them it has become a joke.

Its not just reviews, its news stories, interviews everything they report on.

[Raoh]

LOL

the fact that this got approved shows how much worse 360 fanboys are

[dan_chan89]

I find the xbox fanboys far more annoying. Not to say the sony fanboys aren't though.

[Hot_tea]

.

[Da One]

1. Who is the victim of a horrible industry double standard
2. Who had to put up with 100 million doom and gloom articles from people like you
3. Who had to deal with the "It has no games"
4. Who had to deal with the "Blu-Ray is not needed"
5. Who had to deal with the "Sony needs to leave the console market"
6. Who has and still has to deal with the bias media and reviewers
7. Who gets the free passes(MS) and who doesn't(Sony) in tems of **** ups
8. Who had to deal with developers screwing them over with crappy ports

You can't even begin to suggest such crap, it's like an "I told you so" effect

A lot of people put their foot in their mouth and PS3 fans now have the pleasure of saying "I told you so"

Fanboyism is wrong period, but what you're doing is feeding those flames

[TehSuperCell]

"baww ma system had to go through tuff tiems but now it doin good it doin good haha so suk it lulz enjoy ur rrodbox hawhawhaw"

[GiantEnemyCrab]

When the console launched much of that was true and it cost Sony in a lot of ways. Even you should be able to recognize that.

Over time Sony has redeemed themselves and silenced the doubters for the most part. Sony should be given props for that, their vision was greater than those bashing it.

[stuntman_mike]

could you repeat that in english.

[Sigh]

He clearly can't.

[Da One]

I completely agree but it seems some people can't get over the fact that instead of the Playstation folding, Sony did everything it could to prove the Industry that was so set against(a few for good reasons) wrong.

[MajestieBeast]

Poor guy never finished school so now he plays halo all day that would kill anyone's brain.

[Tony-A]

"I want views!!!"

R-A-N-T, RANT, RANT, RANT!

[TehSuperCell]

I strongly agree. Why?
"lulz it only does everything"
"bawww uc2 deservez a 10 not a 9 u are so biased"
"lulz enjoy me2 on rrodbox btw not exclusive"
"dis gaem not exclusive to ps3 so it suks"
"lol xbux haz ps2 grfx lololz"
"haha silly 360 fanboys are crying lol"
"dis gaem is gimped cuz of failbox360 it suk now"

By using their own logic, PC is the superior gaming device.
"bububu it no console so it doesnt count... u kno wut ur opinion doesnt please me imma email my buds to disagree wit u and take away ur bubblez ur on ignore now ktnxbai"

[Tony-A]

Can you blame them?

Their annoying attitude (in your eyes) was sparked by the attitude of others.

Remember 2006, 2007 and 2008?

That's where it came from.

[TehSuperCell]

Their behaviour pretty much reminds me of my 3 year old nephew.

[Tony-A]

You have a 3 year old nephew talking about how cell processors and more polygons in a game justify a better looking video game?

Wait..... you have a nephew?

[TehSuperCell]

Gamer: "Why, this game looks marvelous on my Xbox 360"
PS3Fanboy: "lulz stfu ur gaem looks like ps2 gaem lol"
Gamer: "Not quite, sir, it seems like the average nex-gen game"
PS3Fanboy: "lolz UC2 haz best grfx evar"
Gamer: "I respect your opinion, but I must disag-"
PS3Fanboy: "STFU GO PLAY GAYLO3 ROFL"

[Tony-A]

I love how you glorify the superb spelling of 360 fanboys, but bring PS3 fanboy spelling down to pre-1st grade.

That truly speaks to me and proves to me just how over-exaggerated 360 fanboys can be.

"Killzone 2 is gonna be better than boring Halo!"
"Please, Killzone 2 will flop in salez!"
"Salez don't make the game better! Halo flopz!"

*K2 sells over 2 million*

"Buy ur games, droidz!"
"Ur saying over 2 mil is flop? Mass Effect flop, too!"
"K2 flop, inFamous flop, Uncharted flop! PS3 only for movies!"
"Only good selling 360 game was Halo and Gears. Other games are PS3 level sellers!" (actually true, by the way)
"Heavy Rain and MGS4 movies! No gamez!!!"

More realistic? I think so. Don't glamorize one side, dude.

[MajestieBeast]

I havent seen ps3 fanboys ruin endings of games like mass effect 2. But i do see 360 fanboys like metalgearrising and brink2009 post spoilers about heavy rain and gow3, you cant go any lower then that.

[Homicide]

Gears of War 2, Halo 3.

[MajestieBeast]

Mgs4 was being spoiled by 360 fanboys, Whats to ruin about halo 3 masterchief kills aliens omg! spoilers! I can get that gears 2 can be spoiled, i played it and the story is pretty good except for the whole drama.

[RandomDude655]

Sony fanboys actually kinda deserve to talk trash. It's been years of terrible blogs along with 360 fanboys poking fun of their system of choice, and the funny thing is these blogs that talked trash now can't take the fact they were wrong all along.

[KonohagakureFC]

The real problem is americans with too much time on their hands... the people who complain about reviews, who complain about multiplats.. Im willing to bet most of them are americans> Everythings a competition with them

...is disgustingly prejudice and I'm not even an American. You think that complaining is a stereotype? You've NEVER complained about anything in your life then I guess, because you aren't an American? I'd rather have an entire planet full of any kinds of fanboys than people like you.

[Guy169]

Nice article, very true.

All fanboys are lame though. These people don't choose what games they like, the games choose them =(

[MajestieBeast]

Wtf 15 year old kid wrote it...

[slave2Dcontroller]

I thought that was the ass licking MS Press that cash MS checks for fudging reviews, over looking flaws for games like the 360 version of FF13 but lower scores for PS3 Multi Plats. Using PS3 screens and video captures in attempts to pass them off as the 360 version and the dirty laundry list goes on and on.

Sega, Nintendo, nor MS have been met with the same amount of intense disrespect, bias and scrutiny as the Gaming Media directs towards Sony and the PS3. They been mad every since the PS3 defied their prediction that ITS DEAD!

Well sirs, If PS3 fans are annoying then most of you douche bag journalist are out right intolerable and should really be ashamed of your corrupt practices. We see your BS on a continual basis, why get mad because you get caught and called out?

I suppose with a great number of Multi Plat titles being lead on PS3 and Sony pumping out AAA after AAA exclusives your journalist jobs are becoming more and more difficult as the truth is getting too hard to cover up. So now, who's REALLY pissed? LMAO

[redsquad]

Whinging article by a droning zombie (but with a get out of jail free "I don't hate Sony" card played right at the beginning) ignoring the hate and vitriol posted here by his mewling brethren EVERY - SINGLE - DAY.

Metal Gear Rising spoiling the end of HEAVY RAIN with a "LOLOLOLOL"

Racist filth saying "japan doesn't count"

Fools declaring their loyalty to Microsoft JUST because it's American

Braindead sheep creating accounts to spoil the end of GOW 3

Self-important drones approving this story like the nodding dogs they are while they drool "Uh huh, nnn, see, someone on the internet agrees with me so I must be right"

Awwwww, the bleating zombies are just little angels, aren't they?

Hateful, spiteful, petty and downright disgraceful article.

[CernaML]

Wow. +bubbles to you. I swear I do not see any 360 fanboy this intelligent.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

They took plays from the Sony boys. This crap all started with Gears 2 and the Dom spoilers.. But they were 10 times worse.. Sticking the spoilers as Alt. Links, etc..

Please give me some examples of people supporting Xbox only because it is American. Are you American? Do you realize Americans haven't been patriotic in their spending habits since the early 80's. There isn't some xenophobic pride happening in America like you find in Japan.

"they are all either racist, sexist, homophobic, retarded, annoying little brats, rapist, murders etc. "

And there you go.. Thank you for showing droids are the worst! This is what this article speaks too. What a complete load of BS and board line slander. To think the idiot below you actually said "I swear I do not see any 360 fanboy this intelligent. "

You call that intelligent? Thank god the PS3 has 2 ends huh? You guys can share and assist with insertion.

[MajestieBeast]

360 fanboys started by spoiling mgs4 ending they were everywhere.

[redsquad]

Ah, the old "two wrongs make a right" defense. I wondered when that would turn up.
So all fanboys are bad then - This 'article' (god, that word lends it far more gravitas than it deserves) is still trash for calling out just one section.

If you agree, then you're NOT a zombie. The only people who earn my ire are the brainswashed fools who this 'author' (nearly threw up a little then) suggests are some sort of persecuted minority, if they exist at all.

If someone owns a 360 and gets on with playing it quite happily then all is well in the world - If they come here poking me with a metaphorical stick then I'm going to poke back. Anyone else here is free to call out the PS3 fanboys in 360 articles - As I NEVER visit 360 articles, I can't do it myself, see?

[CliffyB]

You think its racist to say Japan dosen't count!? That is laughable. Even Prolific japanese developers like Hideo Kojima see rapidly decreasing relevance in japanese consumers and even more importantly game developers. How's this for racist you big crybaby? The Xbox is raping Playstation worse than Japan received it from our American Soldiers in WWII. And BOOM goes the dynamite!

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Yes, it does come off as "two wrongs make a right". Great point.

Majestic: I was on N4G when MGS4 launched and I don't remember that. If that's true then I'm wrong and I apologize. The spoiler thing to me is the lowest you can go and even beyond just being a fanboy.

Maybe we have a tie for first?

[MajestieBeast]

Hell both are bad thats for sure. Fanboyism is one thing but ruining a game for some1 is just the lowest thing you can do. Doesnt matter what camp thats why i honestly hope the ps3 fans dont retaliate with alan wake and splintercell spoilers. I mean seriously i thought we left 2008 behind us seeing as infamous didnt get spoiled wishfull thinking i guess.

[Mo0eY]

I heard there were people trying to spoil MGS4 before it came out so I hightailed it off the internet. I was one of the first to read the Heavy Rain spoiler name which I couldn't avoid. I've been really cautious because of God of War 3 as in not going into pro sony Articles, not going into any reviews, and typically avoiding the Gamer Zone.

[karan8624]

+Bubbles

See, thats the difference between PS3 and 360 fans

PS3 ones dont have to make multiple accounts to keep their bubbles up

[Will-UK]

You don't remember that do you maybe because you were one of the biggest xbox fanboys on n4g and still have this microsoft defence mentality you said that before yourself

360 fanboys ruined mgs4 ending with account names first.

This article is a joke no fanboy is worst than another you out of all people should know that after some of the things you have posted.

[TheBlackSmoke]

Wait.. gears of war has a story?

[josh14399]

360 and ps3 fanboys are as bad as each other it just depends on what site you go on. gametrailers forums are full of ps3 fanboys while i tend to find gamespots forums are full of 360 fanboys. The guy who wrote the article is most probably a 360 fanboy or something. i own both a 360 and ps3 so i have no reason to talk crap about a console i already own. some people take fanboys far too seriously and should just ignore them rather than retaliating back with stupid fanboy comments.

[Kyur4ThePain]

Glad it's not the Apple fanboys...I was a little worried there for a while.

[lonix]

And make up your own mind

[Dance]

I find them the most insecure bunch out of the lot

[Cajun Chicken]

I still think 360 fanboys are annoying to this day. Anyone perfectly happy to pay out their nose for ANYTHING that isn't needed to be, must surely be disillusioned.

[Tony-A]

The contributor (the author himself) submitted his judgmental rant to every PlayStation category.

"Hey look, PS Fanboys! I'm telling people how bad you guys are!"

[XabiTheHumble]

After all the crap the media said about the ps3 and the pure domination the 360 fanboys had on forums 3 years ago you can't really say that you expected anything less. now that things are looking good for the ps3 and the rest of this gen is looking pretty secure in the favor of the ps3 its only going to get worse. Deal with it bots don't start things you can't finish.

[Lou Ferrigno]

wtf,all the sony fanboys do is speak the truth..
and what do 360 fangurls speak? lies,trash talking lies.

and the only xbox fangurls like giantenemypoop and cold 1000 and murderdolls like to think they are smart by trying to speak in a mature way on here out of all places.
Excuses excuses EXCUSES!

wether a sony fanboy talks trash about 360 or not,its all based on truth and experience and through microsofts horrid reputation with the 360 and its tween fanbase. :)

[-DeathWraith-]

ALL fanboys are as bad as each other.

[ian72]

I find fanboys of any kind quite funny with some things they come out with. But to me 360 fanboys are worse IMO.

[redsquad]

Why use a drawing of Gabe Newall to illustrate his (bone-headed) point then?

[Wakka_]

Well duh.

[Snert]

Are the worst by far. Someone is going around spoiling games. It's probably a bot.

[Wakka_]

PS3 zealots have spoiled games before.

[Tony-A]

That's not called being a fanboy.

That's called being an asshole who spoils endings.

I've been seeing a lot of spoiled endings for PS3 exclusives, though.

[ironmonkey]

the guy is clearly mad. that is all nothing to see here. he's just saying ps3 fanboboys are mean. booo hoooo

[macalatus]

My fellow Sony gamers, this article is a complete, one-sided view of this current console war. To all the "video game journalists" out there reading my posts right now, I ask you this question:

Where were you a few years back when Sony gamers in general were being insulted everywhere day and night?

I'll keep my rant/post short but hear me this. The media bashed the PS3/Sony, and it was hip to do so (which still goes on today) and it was retarded to defend Sony. During all those times, NOBODY stood up for us while everyone else mocked people even just for stating they play PS3 games. So who stood up for ourselves? It was only us, NOT the so-called "videogame journalist" bloggers who have no problems only targeting the Sony fanboys. Now that Sony is doing good and that the "end of Blu-Ray means end of the PS3" prophecy never came, it is only now that they are writing crap how bad Sony fanboys are? Wow...somehow people forgot what the 360 fanboys did a few years back and how bad they treated the Sony folks.

So I end my post with this line...YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to criticize my fellow Sony gamers when YOU WEREN'T there to help us in the beginning. If only the media treated us a little different then things may have been a little different!!

Sony Gamers Lead the Way!!

[palaeomerus]

Parody?

[macalatus]

Nope...I'm serious.

[palaeomerus]

Tragedy then.

[greatjimbo78]

I just lol'd very loudly!

[Tito08]

Every company has their own fanboys, even in sports there are fanboys.... Maybe there was fanboyism back then, but it wasn't a big of a deal... To me MS started all of that fanboyism to the maximun so they could convert game journalists, critics into fanboys and bash Sony in everyway possible, that's another reason why they wanted to come to market first. I can't go and say sh1t about Sony because the best years of gaming I enjoyed the most came from Sony and Sega, back then, to me was like the golden years of gaming, now everything is mixed, like WTF. I don't care for Xbox 360 despite having one because I went through 3 system failures, and the rest of my consoles never failed on me, only the 360 but fanboys instead of bashing, praises or apologizes MS, there are countless things MS did and still fanboys praises em....

Also when PSN went down for old PS3s, there was a bunch of articles saying "PS3 is doomed because of that" "FF13 is gonna sell more on 360 because of that" "I traded my PS3 to a 360 because of that" "360 is on fire because of that", yo be fvckin real... Fanboys are everywhere, but Xbox fanboys takes it personal, and to the extreme, not offending any!!!!

[nirvana_sky]

i know one thing, he is a total fanboy of other console!!

[The Rock Bottom]

So if you call out BS, no matter how clear it is. You are a Sony fanboy? I don't normally post much, but Most said Sony fanboys actually have points that are 9 times out 10 the truth(Bias media, MS buying out other company staple games instead of making their own, gimp ports,shady reviews and more!). Remember a couple of years ago when the 360 camp never let up? They were not pointing out facts or truths. They only trolled and called posters cry babies for complaining about them. Now that the 360 is looking slighted by the Ps3, 360 fans and the media wanna raise the white flag. This gen is lame.

[GrandDragon]

The last time I checked 360 fanboys are the ones who come out with the most bizarre and illogical arguments, not to mention how many times they have self-contradicted & self-owned themselves lol.

Just look at their argument on every gaming forum and you'll see what I mean. They literally get owned all over YouTube that it's not even funny.

[peeps]

they're all as bad as each other tbh

[hankmoody]

Well written article.

[The Rock Bottom]

@ hankmoody
Gotta one up the sony fans somehow right hankmoody? If the media can't find anything to bash the Ps3 (Ps3 date issue with Ps3 Phats the media tried so hard to make the Ps3 look bad)surely a flame bait article from a random stealth troll can. High Five bro! O_o'

[yogaflame]

here is prejudice again, sigh, lets go back to gaming topics

[Quagland]

Both groups are f@g whackers but why is it always an article from a 360 fan writing diatribes about the evil of Sony fans? I rarely see the situation reversed.

[Brian5247]

"Before I get into this editorial/rant, let me set the record straight. I absolutely, positively do not hate Sony itself or the PlayStation brand." LoL.

[Claudinho69]

at least sony fans really got the best hardware specs and best exclusives to back them up...so this article FAIL

[Tony-A]

To be 100% honest, I think 360 fanboys are slightly worse.

How?

http://eugn.co.uk/2010/03/1...

That guy is part of them... ^^

[Narutone66]

Bungie/GR81/PP/all other delusional bots is Aaron G's multiple accounts here.

[bjornbear]

vs

"Why Catholics are the worst of the bunch"

vs

"Why Angelical Cristians are the worst of the bunch"

=

all the same crap

same applies to fanboys

[palaeomerus]

It seems like fanboys don't like being told how obnoxious and ridiculous they are. Who would have guessed? Many of the comments here act as direct evidence that the article is correct. Sadly every console has fanboys capable of saying almost anything no matter how absurd or contemptible. Usually the fans of the rump console are the loudest and most bizarre.

I remember when the 360 launched and PS3 fans (who had no PS3 to be a fan of yet) were screaming Xbox 1.5. Everything sucked. Cell was all powerful, etc. These same people had to suddenly go on the defensive when Kaz said $599 and their games looked about the same as the console they had been dumping on. Then they had to predict 'saviors' which were games that would turn everything around. Now, finally Sony has gotten their act together, lowered the price, and spent some money getting help to developers who need it.

The truth is that 360 and PS3 are both pretty similar and comparable. I know because I have both. There's really nothing to be a fanboy about on either console but I guess people need the silly conflict and the false sense of victory once a week due to some stupid marketing coup or other. And they apparently need to feel like victims while coming up with new ways to be awful to each other.

"Huuurrr. It's your fault I sound like an idiot! You made me into the stupid frothing imbecile that I am today. And it's your fault when I crap my pants and act like a lunatic. And other imaginary people act worse that I do so what I do is fine! Wa Wa Wa!"

And yes there are 360 and Wii fanboy idiots too. They just aren't as loud right now. That's probably why they aren't being called "the worst".

[KonohagakureFC]

Making a big deal out of this is exactly what the author wants

[Irishrocket69]

WIN!!!!!

[MysticStrummer]

Sums it up.

[ForROME]

I laugh at Xbox, I laugh at SONY, in then end I chose bast on gen, which system is best, I will NEVER walk in blind loyalty to any company that is in it for profit, which is any company so why be loyal to that

Be loyal to gaming and yourself, and move on about life

[nirvana_sky]

for the editor..
please!!!think it deeply!!!!!!!!!!!!
did you know how other console fanboy humiliate ps3 at first????????
they said no games, no sales, bad online service, price too high, worthless blu-ray, etc..they boo here and boo there!!!!
can you see how all the ps3 fanboys are very disappointed???
but, they still support until the end, sony try so hard to prove to ps3 fanboys that they made a right choice, until the ps3 now is getting better and better, other console fanboy start to think of other way to boo ps3 fanboy again??
all are good consoles, please think thoroughly before you start to write an article that might start another flame war, create more hatred between fanboys..

[karan8624]

Is because they are 360 fans

[Redlight]

I have all three consoles this gen and even I find the Sony extremists far more numerous and annoying than those from other consoles.

The article is right. 100%.

[nikoado]

Wow did Aaron Greenburg actually say this?

http://www.n4g.com/industry...
http://twitter.com/aarongre...

[palaeomerus]

I'll bet he says it a whole lot more from now on if he reads N4G comments.

[snoopgg]

Now, I am just a fan of any good game worth playing!!!!!

[palaeomerus]

I'll admit that I got a little fanboyish when the Dreamcast was folding. Nothing close to the crapstorm going on now though.

[Tito08]

Yeah, but Dreamcast was the real deal back then, but hey, they got to a situation where they had to completely discontinue it because of finalcial problems... Those fvckers at EA didn't want to support em because Sega sports games were way much better!!!!

[Xfanboy]

http://www.n4g.com/gaming/N...

& who else are FF loyalist & get mad over a prize someone else is getting ??

[The Iron Sheik]

Anyone who can say that 360 fans are better than PS3 fans after 360 fanboys went all over the internet posting Heavy Rain and GOW3 spoilers is an idiot.

360 fanboys defend faulty hardware, gimping games no standard wifi or Hard Drive, overpriced accessories and pay to play online. They try to spin that discontinuing the xbox1 and taking down live for xbox 1 as a good thing. They hated motion control when Nintendo or Sony does it but when MS tries it it is "teh future of gaming". They think sales mean everything, that USA is greater than the world and that second place is really first place. Also they think games available on the PC and 360 are still "360 exclusive" Then they say graphics mean nothing but try to claim Halo Reach or Alan Wake have better graphics than Killzone or Uncharted.

They are consistently hypocritical and delusional.

[lethaldoseap]

Sure the system has bad hard ware but hell i enjoy it way more than my ps3. I have 2 red rings since the console came out and i didnt spend a cent on any of the repairs and got them back super fast. But for a system that has flaws like red ring and still staying head of the suppose better system sells is pretty interesting. 360 exclusives that are also on the pc still console exclusives. PS3 fanboy bring that up just have something to argue. Face it more people are going to buy the 360 version than the pc version. I can careless about pc gaming anyways all i care about is console gaming.

You want to talk about graphics. Ps3 fanboys do nothing but talk about graphics. You can go almost anywhere in this site and see that. Sure there are some retards on the 360 side. But i think ps3 fanboy are the biggest retards of them all. There all about the graphics this gen and last gen all they talked about was gameplay and what not.

[weazel]

Hmmmm... Define retard please, as I think you'll find that the well measured responses within the thread have been submitted by 'PS3 fanboys', whereas the gibbering, frothing, howlings have all pretty much come from ..........another 'user base'.
Funny how real life (and statistical/factual support) has a tendency of sh*tting all over these conspiracy theorists.

[Figboy]

there is no WORSE fanboy.

there is also a HUGE difference between, say, an Xbox 360 FAN, and an Xbox 360 FANBOY. same applies to Nintendo and Sony fans/fanboys.

just because a person has a preference for one over the other, say, Xbox 360, doesn't make them a fanboy.

the problem is that people confuse the two way too often.

just because i prefer the Playstation, doesn't mean i'm a Playstation fanboy (although, after having been a PS fan since the original proved itself; i was a diehard Nintendo/Sega fan back then; i skirt the fan/fanboy rift sometimes).

just because i can't stand Microsoft, doesn't mean i hate the 360. to clerify, i despite Microsoft as a corporation, but all corporations are the same, including Sony and Nintendo. in the end, what matters to me is the games, and the 360 has some quality games. my gaming side can overlook my dislike for Microsoft, because i want to play the fun games the 360 has to offer. i'm not going to punish the game developer because they chose to develop for the 360 or PS3, or even Wii (although my issues with the Wii run a lot deeper than my issues with the 360).

fanboys can't look past the console to see the games underneath it all.

they can't give credit where it's due. it's like pulling teeth.

asking a diehard Xbox 360 fanboy to admit that a game like Uncharted 2 is actually more than just it's pretty graphics, and they're liable to vomit.

same applied to diehard PS3 fanboys when admitting that Alan Wake is a FANTASTIC looking game. their heads would explode.

a FAN, on the other hand, is perfectly content with his product choice, and can still admit when "the other guys" have some good sh*t.

i solved my issues a long time ago by getting a 360 to go with my PS3. i don't miss out on anything worthwhile on either system that way, and i get some great games to play.

i won't read this article, because it's absolutely stupid to claim that one type of fanboy is worse than the other.

it's like trying to say that the KKK is worse than it's Black Militant counterpart. they BOTH SUCK ASS, and are propagating a division/hatred of someone/something else.

a 360 and Wii fanboy are just as despicable as a PS3 fanboy. there is no "greater than, less than" here. to say otherwise is to side with one, and therefore, expose your own arrogant, elitist, irrational, and illogical attitude.

[slave2Dcontroller]

While I too own all current I AM still a PS3 Fanboi. Do I think 360 fanbois are worse than I am? Hell No. Its the equivalent of accusing Laker fans of being worse than Knick Fans. I myself dont mind the whole fanboy BS, competition is healthy amongst Men(Atleast here in America) and I never mind giving MS praise when its due.

Its the officiating(Gaming Journalist) running their BS interference that pisses me off. They lie and cheat to fudge the competition and its pathetic. Its all a game but games have rules and I'm sick of seeing these ass wipes break them. You would never find any of this BS happening prior to this generation regardless to how stiff the competition was.

Just because you get paid to think or say something to honor your contracts, dont get mad when people are able to see through the BS. This ofcourse does not apply to every site or magazine but lets not sit here and pretend that nothing is going on with GT, EDGE and so on.

[mrmikew2018]

I hope this idiot author reads your comment. Same for Torrence Davis.

[stuntman_mike]

you think supporting your favourite console is bad. try supporting your local football team people die over that, gaming is heading in that direction.

[Wii360BeatsPS3]

PS3 fanboys, which means most of you here on N4G are a disgrace to gaming and humanity. You are total hypocrites, you lack reason and logic. You are blinkered to the truth, slaves to a corporation that gives you nothing in return for your fanaticle loyalty. You are what's wrong with gaming and N4G. Simply disgusting people that cannot be reasoned with on any level.

[rob6021]

Well leave the gaming world (hard to do for lots of us i know), and start asking random people what they think of Microsoft; and you'll get your answer as to why Sony fan's, or anyone for that matter, doesn't like Microsoft or their console. Throw on top of it, underhanded practices of hidden charges(live,wifi, misleading points system, ect), faulty hardware, maxed out graphics on year1, and you can see why lots of us don't want Sony to bow out because MS took too much of their market share.

[Kakihara]

There's no such thing as Microsoft fanboys or Sony fanboys. There is only... Fanboys. If you have a strong belief that Sony fanboys or Microsoft fanboys are worse, chances are you're part of the almighty shower of douches known as 'fanboys'.

[snp]

Well said.

[Reshun]

It's a "my turd is more clean than your turd" competition.

[Henry Cain]

I really feel that the Sony has made the best console of the three that are currently out. I have all three consoles and the PS3 is in a league of its on. Im not being a fanboy because I did enjoy Gears 1&2 as well as ME 1&2. The 360 is a nice system but not the best system. M$ knowingly put out a console that is flawed and claim its the best console. 360 fans have had to send their consoles in a number of times, but yet they say the 360 is the best system. The media loves to bash the PS3, but look at how well its doing now. M$ brought out the 360 early to get a jump on the PS3. Even though they knew it had issues. To me that shows a lack of Integrity. Sony on the other hand developed a console that was far more expensive and sold it a lost to the consumer. Why? because they believe in the product that they are selling. People say that the PS3 stumbled out of the block, but its the 3rd fastest selling console. Blu-ray is taking over. Many have doubted it, but it won the format war. Now the next thing 3D gaming and once again, the people doubt. The PS3 has proving itself time and time again. From the beginning Sony said that they wanted the PS3 to be the complete entertainment console. I remember M$ saying the 360 is for gaming, but know they claim their the complete entertainment console . M$ says were the first to stream movies in HD. Sony has been doing this when it introduced us to Blu-ray. What makes the PS3 the console of choice is it gives you the option to do different things. The 360 does not allow that. Your forced to buy M$ only hard drives, your force to pay to play online, your force to buy a wi-fi adapter. Options thats what makes the PS3 so much better. Not mention the exclusive games look and play amazing. 360 fans know this, but they can't face the truth. When you see the facts in front you a you still deny it, that makes you a fanboy.

[greatjimbo78]

"Im not being a fanboy because....." See, when anyone uses that sentence, you can bet your house they're a fanboy.

[jack_burt0n]

@greatjimbo78

and thus war ensues, and you started it.

so essentially all this is your fault.

[greatjimbo78]

I literally have no idea what you're talking about?
Perhaps you could string a sentence together that makes sense, that would really help.

[PS3warlock]

they are just pationate.misunderstood maaybe.They get behind a product and really want it to do well.i wish if i sold something people will support it like that.maybe they hate the other product because they don't have it.

[RELAX]

relax man
this artikel is made by a 14 year old kid .
And you peopel are not kids right.

[MR LOOKINGBILL]

because sony fanboys are stuck in a time zone back in the ps2 glory days when it was a given that every game announced went to the ps2. Now we are in a new era where sony has competion and MS plat is getting the majority of the games they're not willing to accept the fact that sony has lost this generation of gaming. All ps3 fanboys think that every game announced should be on there console of choice regardless of the developers. PS3 fanboys should stop wearing panties and quit crying and complaining like little girls when 360 games are getting there games. Im a gamer i own both consoles so this suppose war between Sony and MS for gaming supremacy is BS. This video will explain it all about ps3 fanboys.
http://www.youtube.com/user...

[Silly gameAr]

360 fanboys are no better. They ran rampant for years, and somehow, no one seems to notice. It was really bad there for a couple of years.

Guess they're to busy writing about other fanboys because not everyone shares their console preference.

[zeddy]

honestly who cares what this douche thinks?

[drzmvp554]

when will console wars end, 360 and ps3 both have there pros and cons

[DocHoliday]

"Why fanboys who write articles about other fanboys are the worst of the bunch"

[KillerPwned]

I can see this geting to at least 300 comments, O well screw fanboy`s they will always be around live with it. I believe if you are truely a "gamer" you can at least give anything a try and have respect for other people in what they like. Its that simple....

[djmindz]

xbox fanboys are the worst of the worst

they really believe they have a superior system lol -_- so delusional

[chaostheory]

As far as I'm concerned the worst fanboys I have ever seen are PC fanboys. They're just so elitist it drives me crazy (just my opinion).

[ATi_Elite]

I was reading this article objectively until chaostheory opened his filthy console loving mouth with a comment about PC Gamers.

Your dam right I'm an elitist....lol. just kidding

Pc gamers are just so into the TEchnology and I think consolers sometimes feel insecure about all the knowledge a PC gamer has because Pc gamers for the most part are a very smart crowd. We don't try to be "ELITIST" but like all people some are pricks but most PC gamers are cool and if you have a problem with your PC they will help. Pc community is great at helping.

A lot of Pc gamers like me get upset when stupid illogical comments are made like "consoles are better cause I can play on my couch" now that comment is stupid and ticks PC gamers off because who do you think had wireless controllers, keyboards, and mice first? The PC.

Anyway I think PC gamers act like an Elitist when you attack their PC's. I know I'm sensitive about mine because like most I worked hard for every dollar, bought the parts separate and built it myself and then overclocked it and made it all flashy with lights and glowing parts. Feel free to laugh but it looks cool and doesn't look like anybody elses. So a PC gamers rig reflects a lot of time and effort like a racer tuning his car so I can see where the elitist attitude comes from.

But for the most part we are cool people..... until you start talking ATi vs. Nvidia then you better watch out.

Agreed, and I have a decent rig 9800gtx oc sli was built on a restricted budget a while ago but gets the job done.

Yeah they do think they know it all, graphics consist of FPS and resolution and nothing much else, the idea of technology and platforms that dont revolve around rigid GPU bottlenecks just simply wont work.

But the other reason is who are they defending it against? no one is going out of their way to belittle your specific rig..... lol the only ppl threatening the future of pc gamers are cheapskate pc gamers that dont buy their games so its pretty self inflicted.

[Figboy]

but their elitist attitude is pretty much unquestionable. lol.

i think it stems from the fact that for over 20 years, the PC has always been the leader in technology (and still is), but this is the first generation EVER, i think, where console technology has been able to match PC technology.

i say match, because, outside of Crysis, what OTHER slew of PC games push the tech like that?

the majority of PC games released these days aren't much better than the console versions in the same way that there are often minor differences between 360/PS3 titles.

i remember, last generation, there was pretty much NO WAY for the PS2 and Xbox to run the PC games out back then.

this generation has been different in a LOT of ways. the HD era has brought a lot more parity to gaming development on the PC and consoles.

i think, for some PC gamers, they feel a little threatened by this.

how many of their beloved PC developers are creating console games too? iD, Epic, Bioware, Valve. those guys are practically the DADDIES of the PC development community. now they are making console games. console games that have been performing a lot better in the marketplace than the PC versions, despite the PC versions often advantages.

it was easy to dismiss consoles for the past 30 years. they paled in comparison to the PC. not so much anymore.

[phantomshadow]

Everything on N4G is fanboy based. Pretty simple when you think about it.

[Mr_Luke]

Another flamebait...

And --> http://www.n4g.com/industry...

So this was a M$ employee? They fell so low?

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

It's not even a contest. The sony fanboys are easily the most insecure and childish of them all. And this site caters to many of them. The difference is definitely a maturity level. 360 fans on here don't waste their time with agree/disagree buttons while sony fanboys probably use their multiple accounts to press them.

I think the problem we're starting to see here is the abundance of sony fanboy sites that are starting to trickle themselves in here as "real" websites. Gamethirst and Darkrider's stupid site are 2 good examples of ps3 fanboy sites that put to much attention to 360 news. Just shows their jealousy and insecurity.

Ps3 fanboys also like to throw every excuse in the book. They're the biggest crybabies. Us 360 gamers just play games regardless of reviews. Ps3 fanboys cry over an 8 which is a good score for God of War 3. Just embarrassing.

[BatClarkeee]

ând 360 fanb****s say ps3 fanboys are the worst.
and you have people like this guy.
hypocrite much ?

[unworthyBOZO]

A 360 fanboy saying PS3 fanboys are the worst that is really funny.

[Silly gameAr]

Sure. PS3 owners cry while you lead the charge for the 360 crybabies. You're definitely as bad as any PS3 fanboy on this site.

I can't believe you would even say ANYTHING about crazy a@@ fanboys.

You guys want to see one of those 360 fanboys that don't exist? ^^^^

Edit: below. "pathetic" Is that what you meant?

[Tose]

You forgot the latest excuse, "360 fanbois 3 years ago..." Waaaa, waaa, waaa.

@jleack

which only serves to make sony fanboys look even more paphetic. not just crybabies, 40 years old crybabies

[Sitris]

And play these games that you all claim are the second coming of christ

[mcgrawgamer]

all fanboys are bad. 360 fanboys started this ordeal the first 2 years of the ps3's life cycle. It was nothing but a one sided affair from all avenues forums, gamestores, the media, everywhere. To have a ps3 only was akin to being a leper in ancient times. Now it's true the ps2 crowd was a bit hard on the xbox crowd during the ps2/xbox era and I guess the 360 crowd wanted a lil payback, and that may have left a bad taste in some the ps3 faithfuls mouth and a few grew bitter. Even I was a little harsh on the ps3 at launch not because I hated the system I just felt like it was launched incorrectly as a means to stay even with MSFT and I felt like Sony didn't have to do that but that's neither here or there.

Long story short the ps3 faithful has banded together ala william wallace and his ragtag army or leonidus and his 300. The issue most 'gamers' have with this war is the sony faithful just haven't let up there defending of the system even after they've surpassed the 360 in terms of sales, games, online or whatever matters to that individual. I do have a hard time reading some of the more foolish comments on this site and others but unlike myself who started gaming back in the 80's I do realize some of my ps3 commrades only started gaming during the playstation 1 maybe even ps2 era and know nothing else. Tell a young boy after 15 years of knowing his momma another lady (360) wants him to get rid of his current momma (ps brand) the one he's known all his life for this stranger someone he knows nothing about.

meditate on that.

and as always "Stay Thirsty My Friends".

[unworthyBOZO]

You know whats worst all these idiots writing articles like this one trying to blame fans and find which is worst seriously grow the up.

[keysy420]

what planet is this guy living on ps3 is the target of all the hate this gen. i was just at target where a guy told me that the ps3 isnt for him becasue it has no games. atleast sony fanboys arent dumb. i consider my self a fan of ps3 but only after the xbox died on me inthe teens. so to me anyone who follows a system blindly an d makes crazy comments is a fanboy (xbox )

[JonnyBigBoss]

How is this news? How is this worth discussion? Didn't several polls state that the average PS3 user is 32 years old while the average Xbox 360 user is 17 years old? Seriously, this article is irrelevant flamebait. Look at the 360 users that have run rampant over the years saying "Sony fails", "Sony is in third place" etc. THAT'S immature.

[Cueil]

depending on when those statements where said those are pretty true words... they totally effed up the launch

[ATi_Elite]

all fanboys are cool. they are just passionate about their system. no different from cheering for your favorite sports team.

Go Lakers Yankees Michigan and Bengals
Go PC

just have fun and play games.

[Biggest]

All I know is that Alan Wake better be good. You're going to see the fanboy colors flying higher than ever.

[mrmikew2018]

When I saw the title, I thought Torrence Davis wrote this. But let be serious for a second, all fanboys are bad. If this author had half of a brain, he/she would clearly see that. How do you single out one camp and not the other? So the retards bragging about sales and counting pixels get a pass? Since the author is so knowledgeable about this subject, please explain how the 360 fanboys are any different then PS3 fanboys?

[Gazza22]

You got to be one, to know one.

[mrmikew2018]

This guy is so retarded in so many ways it's not even funny. How can anyone take this so called "writer" seriously?

[MyLightKilzTractors]

I guess all the idiots who came crawling out during the
"appocalyps3" have not made it back to their holes yet.

[evilmonkey501]

Im guilty of being a fanboy, but this article doesn't even deserve to be here.

[Midgard228]

i think fanboyism changed alot, it used to be people were fans of games, that lead to people luving a console because that game started on that console EXample: mario (nintendo) xbox (halo) ummmm maybe ff7 and onslaught of jrpgs that left nintendo during that gen.

but now fanboyism is stupid, people forget to be fanboys of games, now its, O my 50 bucks a year is better than ur free cuz we have cross game chat!

or we have more quality exlusives tthan u!, ur system breaks the most! ur system is just for old people!!!!

i think gamers, or atleast the wannabe gamers forget that the only thing that matters is a good game. does 360, ps3 and wii have good games? YES, do they have bad games? YES!

but the sheer incompetence of "I wont buy that game cuz it went multi!!!!!" or I wont buy a ps3 cuz im on MS's side crap is stupid.

and ive seen this from working at gamecrazy, its sad that alot of people fight for this crap.

reminds me of a mini religion, u all believe urs is better so u argue.

granted people are allowed to have favorites, but doesnt mean the others sux, hardware problems aside.

[ImmortalLegend]

No matter which platform you're a fanboy of, it's just ridiculous how much a system can mean to someone. Just imagine acting like you do on the internet in real life. People are gonna be looking at you like "wtf is wrong with this loser" lol.

[cricen]

this is not news its just some baseless opinionated garbage. N4G MODS not only is this not news but it violates the submitting policies about not posting flame articles... this is why i find myself visiting this site less and less.

[Xander756]

Wholeheartedly agree with this article, especially about how they get mad when their exclusives go multiplat. For example, nobody cared when Bioshock got ported to the PS3 but when a PS3 game gets ported to 360 they yell and whine. Quite pathetic really.

[captainjy]

The whole debate of which console is better is just ridiculous especially when the Wii is rolling the 360 and PS3. And let's be honest- MS and Sony have stumbled along the way; RROD and Bluray. Both sell well and both offer great things on each side. Realistically, one really isn't better than the other on the hardware side, regardless what the specs show, neither console has shown something that much better than the other. Now service is a different story, IMO. I have experienced both and have to say Live is much better in look and experience. In the end, it's preference and whether the Sony fanboys like it or not, the Xbox has been an amazing success and is growing very nicely.

[TheHardKore]

its so dam sad tho

[Primetimebt]

Think of it as baseball if Sony was a team they be the yankees either you love them or hate them. Honestly Idon't blame anyone of the sony fanboy especially when you have idiot fanboys who write stuff like this , and the other idiots approve it.

Wasn't it sega fanboys who showed up the ps2 coming, or the 360 boat during the europe lanuch? Do you expect to sucker punch someone in the face and not expect to get punched back..

[MadMan00]

Ahahahaha, omg that picture is hilarious PS3 fan boys are all over this one, but it's true they really are the worst...I hate every system but also like them in different ways I just play whatever game I like I don't give a sh** about what system it's for.

[mp1289]

Thats your only comeback.

In a world without fanboys, there wouldn't be any flamewars. A fanboy loves their choice and hates everything else. Thats why nobody likes them.

Not a single person who isn't a fanboy likes your post because all fanboys are the same and you my friend have the attributes of fanboy.

[vandaLl_L]

Sony Fanboys are a lot worse than Apple Fanboys? really?

[picoso36]

"Gay," as a word, is be-labored and doesn't mean anything anymore. The kid-reviewer on this is a persnickety, closeted homosexual. All the signs are there: The dramatic writing style, the control issues ("his dominion"), the "I knew I would have reactions like this" retorts. Girlfriend, please!...Remember it takes one to know one.

Now that we know where this vitriol is coming from, I admit that I am staunch Sony player. A way better value and better games in my estimation. I own all three consoles. The Wii is a paperweight (Madworld was the only fun game)and fun for a party. The 360 - it's great, kind of like a new Chevy was great in the 1980s. Halo and Gears are a tour de force, no question. However, the console, "the feel" it's so cheap. Oh yeah, experienced the RRoD too. That particular experience only confirmed my feelings.

The Sony? The Sony works magically - It illuminates my 58" Panasonic HDTV beautifully and fills my Bose theater system beautifully. Then there are the games - Kllzone 2, Uncharted (1&2), the God of War Series, Ratchet and Clank (I discovered that gem in the PS2 days), among others - including those shared with the 360 (Batman Arkham Asylum is great!). The Sony fires up beautifully, no problems, Blu Ray is awesome, flawless WiFi, unlike the quirkiness of the 360.

So go ahead, bash us Sony fanboys - perhaps one day you'll come out of the closet as a Sony fanboy and recognize that with living in truth, comes peace. As for your other issue - that's okay too, but everyone of us has a different story to tell. Good luck ;-)

[foxxy]

Cause he is big and wears glasses but he has a 360 lmao.

[badkolo]

thehardcore

your absolutely right
all these comments proved the article writer right and its a shame.

[Obama]

You know one main difference between us sony fanboys vs you bots? It's that we are not delusional. When we say that certain ps3 game has the best graphic, we are RIGHT.

On the other hand, bots always suffer from delusion that their 360 exclusives look better than games like UC2 and GOW3. It annoys me when bots proclaim Alan Wake to be the best looking game.

[Jonoc33]

Title should be changed to "Why Fanboys Are Bad". This is a massive generalisation. 360 Fanboys are exactly the same.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

"Sony fanboys are the worst." Sounds like a four year old saying his big brother started it.

Not one is worst than the other. I don't care if it PC gamers upset a Infinity Ward. I don't care if it is 360 owners defending Too Human. Am I the only one who sees this runs in cycles?

One is more vocal, because they have more to say at the moment...more to show off at the moment. This is much a factor on the quantity and quality of exclusives out. 2009 wasn't as good a year for Microsoft as it was for Sony. I'm sure the Church of Halo will be proselytizing this Fall.

[shopper067]

I don't think its the fanboys. I blame the media. You read articles like "Gabe N. said this..., It can only be done on the PS3...., and Aaron Greenberg said....., etc." Its articles like these that cause the stir.

[rezzah]

these comments are like an all out war.

Well thing about articles and opinions is that they focus on the linear part of the topic alone. No one, well only a few, realises the other factors that make up the overall way something happens. This case being that sony fanboys are the worst, dont be so quick to think im defending them because you may think of me as one, but according to this article ima sony fan (woo)=D. I completly agree with what 1.12 (L-teezy) said, which was somehting like Sony being bashed for the first two years by the media and MS fonboys (yes, even I felt sony's pain and had hatred toward 360 because of all that BS). Though now when Sony is rising once again. MS fanboys are quick to downplay everything Sony brings out, and biased reveiwers (yes they are out there) go for the magical number 8 (not sure about that 8.5). You should aldeasy know the reasons for why "8" so I wont go into that.

Anyways, basically its all about revenge and showing that the PS3 is better in everyway than the 360 (maybe not Live, but its not impossible to pass it). You see the thing is, when 360 didnt have competition back then and their fanboys acted like asses yet no one said anything. Not all fanboys dumb enough to mindlessly talk bs without real reasons to back themselves up, and this isnt exclusive to sony fanboys.

Reason for the FF13...another titan to knock down the compitition. MS knows this so they buy out its exclusivity (one less reason to stop buying their system vanishes). Not only does MS knows this, but the "terrible" sony fanboys do too. Which does what? pisses them off even more. Who cares about exclusive DLC's, the entire game is what its all about. Not only that, FF made so many amazing games exclusive to the PS (PS was seen as FF home). Then again losing it, didnt matter if it was still on PS3, to 360 struck Fonaboys of PS and FF (except those on the 360) hard. In general of course, not everyone is a robot and see everything exactly th way the person next to them does. Similarities may occur in veiwing things but there are still the differences.

There never really has been competition between consols, this is the very first time the heat has escalated to this height. Every little game matters, I'm talking about the exclusives. Why? because they are the major factore to break down the compitition. 360 has a lack of exclusives so they find other ways of feeding the media, they found Natal. When you have the media in your pocket, no matter how good the compitition is, they always "appear" second.

You I just realised, there really isnt anything for the 360 fans to argue about, I mean like what exclusive games are out for those to be judged? Sales usually do good so incase of lack of scores they got that to go back on. Sony fanboys have something to complain and get angry about, thats why it seems like they are the worst.

[ZBlacktt]

This is such great news! Glad it was approved. Such great insight.. ( roll eyes )... These types of stories most times come along when a huge PS3 title is about to come out ( cough GOW3 ). So those Xbox owners who can't afford the PS3 rage and need to vent. So they write up a little cry more story like this... cry more?

rant off.

[EVILDEAD360]

As soon as I saw the blog title I knew it would do crazy numbers in the comments..and N4G did not disappoint..this guy struck a nerve into the heart of the site with a sledgehammer

It's too easy to get in the middle of this..but I'll pass

Instead..I'll just bookmark this moment in time and get back to playing a game or two before hitting the sack

Evil is entertained..

[JagX22]

Talk about generalizing a huge group of people. Surly all Sony fanboys don't act in the way the author has described.

[coldfoot]

What an useless article compared to mine, yet everyone can see this one and mine gets stuck at the source filter:

http://www.n4g.com/News-491...

[DelbertGrady]

It relates to the article you tried to post.

"Now that I’ve established that, it’s important to realize that because reviews are inherently subjective, opinions on what score a particular game deserves will differ from person to person. Obviously, there is no one score that Uncharted 2 “deserves” above any other and what you believe it deserves is only in your opinion. You have to realize that, while you may believe a game deserves a 9.5 or a 10, your opinion is not meant to be universally accepted.

The problem is Sony fanboys (and to a lesser extent, fanboys in general) don’t realize that. It’s perfectly fine to disagree with reviews; it is not fine to attack the reviewer or reviewers because of said disagreement. Not only are you committing a logical fallacy but you’re demonstrating remarkable immaturity."

[coldfoot]

Yes but when you have 30 reviews all in favor of a certain console...
I call that fanboyism.
I will be the first to admit that Halo is way more fun than resistance, and online is better than kz2 (offline and graphics, kz2 is way better ofcourse)
But when you do it over and over and over, always one sided, then you're a fanboy.

[DelbertGrady]

If you were'nt Sony fanboys you wouldn't be offended by it. Over 300 comments already. I think we found their hideout. :)

[PS3and4_HAS_GAMES]

but i would love to see how 360 gamers would react to gears of war of halo going multi......can you just imagine ?? like if they wouldnt care...

plus the part about the reivew can go both ways cause i see xbox fanboys all the time calling anything under 9 a flop..even if it gets a 9 they still say flop...

[dontfeedjay]

I actually happen to agree with a lot of this article, but I also agree with alpha-male.
It really does depend on where you are as to which fanboy is currently the worst.

For example:
In college, everyone was huge xbox/halo fanboys. They thought everything, from the
console to the fps having vehicles was new and revolutionary. They refused to
acknowledge any other games/consoles/pc having done many of the things before.

On N4G, there seems to be a strong sony fanbase, as is made apparent every time
Bungie posts a comment.

In my day to day life, aplle fanboys are the worst. Nevermind my pc has more
computing power and costs less than 50% than your mac, your mac is obviously
superior in every way.

That said, I am a sony FAN. I don't care that ff13 is on the 360, I have a ps3, so
that's what I play it on. If I liked halo, I would play it on the xbox, and if the
360 gets a large category of games that interest me, I will be a xbox fan as well.

While this article does point out some of the funnier annoyances generated by
sony fanboys, it is really just a flame, and is going to ignite a little fanboy war.

[PLAYstar]

The Sony fans are the worst? NO! THEY ARE BADASS!!
Such "worst" definition should be used on the xbots. They are the worst listener and also the Winner of the Worst Garbage every year.

When I said that the PS3 is better than the 360, the xbots shows ignorance! How pathetic.

[Arksine]

I'll fully admit that Sony Fanboys seem to be more "protective" of their exclusives. While all of things the author mentions are annoying, they don't really affect anyone. You either sit back and laugh or you curse at your screen.

I had that same opinion about all fanboys until recently, right before Heavy Rain was released. Then seemingly all over the internet 360 fanboys were doing anything they could to spoil the ending, creating user names, posting everywhere. One of them got me, and this by far was the lowest fanboy crap I have seen pulled, ever. This screwed EVERYONE who would have like to played the game without knowing who the killer was, not just Sony Fanboys.

Due to this I am of the opinion that at this point 360 fanboys are the lowest of the low. Complaining about review scores and booing a game going multiplatform cant compete with an attempt to ruin someones gaming experience.

[tehReaper]

Around when Gears 2 came out? Yeah 360 fans can be bad but not only do PS3 fanboys whine, they complain about reviews, attack reviewers, come up with conspiracy theories, downplay non exclusive games, claim all 360 games are gimped, blame Xbox for loss of content in multiplatform games(some genres I can understand like sandbox games), claim no game can match the graphics of a PS3 exclusive, stalk 360 threads day and night, stealth troll the gamer zone, and to top it.. they also ruin game experiences.

Read the title and smiled. What a way to start my morning.

As a longtime time member of n4g, xbox fans were and still are the worse bunch of idiots I came across.

Until 2 years ago, n4g welcomed ps3 fanboys. 90% of their comments were serious and true about ps3.

Ps3 fans comments are better than xbox360fans comments.

[jessupj]

This article is a bit of a joke. The irony is that it's obviously written by a 360 fanboy. And it's also ironic because imo this very article makes 360 fanboys look worse.

All fanboys are just as bad as each other, but at least when PS3 fanboys are yelling they have a lot of truth to what they say. 360 fanboys on the other hand are the definition of delusional. On a regular case they come out with complete lies. Even just recently A. Greenburg said that the 360s games prove it's the most powerful console. Even a monkey can see that's a complete lie.

And the reason PS3 fans are more vocal is because we have been and still are treated horribly by the media. Ever since the launch of the ps3 we've seen the doom articles, the tampered multiplat comparisons, the harsh bias PS3 exclusive reviews, the general PS3 hate coming from various media outlets, I could go on and on. O, and lets not forget the shockingly pathetic articles claiming PS3 fans are the worst. Although we'll prob see a counter article from a PS3 fanboy, but most likely they'll still be a lot of truth in that article.

If someone's treating you like dirt you are going to fight back. That's not fanboyism. it's just common sense.

[iPirates]

I love the fact that these rant article have a disclaimer at the beginning.

[rbrtchng]

If you actually read what GT was criticized for, you'd understand that it has almost NOTHING to do with scoring a PS3 game 9.3.

The reason why GT was getting so much crap for it was because Shane basically told everyone that any game that only innovates as much as Uncharted 2 will never get anything above 9.3. People were saying that a good game is a good game, doesn't matter if it re-invented the wheel or not. And then GT caught more fire when they gave Modern Warfare 2 a higher score, which, as we know, innovated its formula as much as Uncharted 2 did, or less (arguably).

That's the offense that GT committed, please don't just dismiss people's rationality because it sounds fanboyish.

[xCaptainAmazing]

Such a douche. Tries to claim superiority with Hiroshima NUCLEAR BOMBING comment. How embarrassing to use an act of mass murder to justify console wars. The right side won the war, but you should have died in the blast.

[djtek184]

Seems 2 me, the person who wrote this article is a big whiny fanboy himself.

[DaffyD]

In how many articles Nintendo/Xbox360 fanboys are saying some review/article is written by biassed author?

How many times Nintendo/Xbox360 fanboys are saying that they don't read some web pages/magazines reviews because they are so biased against their console?

How many petition Nintendo/Xbox360 fanboys are made because their consoles exclusive have went to another console?

[BattleAxe]

PS3 owners have had to put up with XBOX 360 fanboys in the media since the PS3 launched. All the stories about how the PS3 was dead and had no games. Also all the stories about how all of Sony's exclusives were going multi-plat, only to have Sony come out and dominate 3 years later. Then you have the fanboy review scores from places like Eurogamer and Edge, and it just goes on and on.

[nnotdead]

why people are puds for saying one fanboy is different than another.

[strickers]

One of the problems Ps3 fans have had is that their console of choice has been attacked by the press/forumites from day 1.It's lead to a defensive approach and the other problem is people on forums and even the press have written much that is not true.It tends to get peoples backs up when you see constant misinformation spewed out of every idiot with a keyboards mouth.

[WLPowell]

remember when all the articles stating the PS3 was lacking in the graphical department, and then when it did the cries of bullshots and prerendered were uttered day and night, because it could never, EVER have better looking games than the 360 (I remember when IGN had an article talking about how Ratchet and Clank Future just looked too good to be true). The first 2 years of every media outlet acting as if they knew more than sony got annoying.

[Karum]

But I will say that a fanboy is a fanboy and they are all as bad as each other.

'nuff said

[Gun_Senshi]

Writing a fanboy article QQing about opposing faction's fanboy makes you a better fanboy, 'kay?

[Braid]

I'm some kind of a collector, I own every single next generation console along with the ones of the old gens, including handhelds and stuff. And I clearly mean that I don't give a damn about the brand itself. But seriously, is it just me or were some douche bags spoiling the ending of Heavy Rain literally "everywhere" around the internet, only two or three weeks ago? You can't ever imagine how pissed off I was when the game I had been waiting for more than two years with such a passion was spoiled by a bunch of rude guys like that. So, I guess they were Sony fanboys too? Let's be honest, it's not about the brand, and I regret to say that the fanboys of the both sides are one of the same s#ht.

[McLuvn]

was spoiled for me as I was scrolling down the comment section of a random review. I think they got me again on FF XIII in the same manner.
I'm not sure it was a spoiler and won't be till I get to the end and see if a certain character dies. But if it's true so long reading the N4G comment section. Alan Wake is coming soon so if you don't want the ending spoiled I would'nt go near the comment section.

[JDucky]

couldn't agree more

[N4BmpS]

I didn't read this entire article (I won't either, I refuse) i just want to say that taking the time to right an entire article bashing fanboys of the PS3 and/or Sony brand is Very, very amateur, with that said I hope this is an amateur writing this; if he is a "pro" gaming journalist, he should be ashamed very mush ashamed.

The fact that you would even choose a side would prove that you are, indeed that much of a fanboy, you may not hate the opposite brand but believe me I've been to many sites I've seen the ignorance, they're equal if anything. Check out these numbers and my estimation; there are over 39 million XBOX 360 owners and over 33.5 million PS3 owners. Now let's say of all those owners 10 million have either both a PS3 and 360(or all 3, another story) some might biased, let's say 5,000 are biased(towards the PS3,remember these are huge numbers). On top of that, there is another 15 million 360 fanboys trolling the web for gaming news(You can use those same numbers for PS3 owners/fanboys). This can all get tedious so I'll cut the gestimation short, my point is you cannot simply pick and say the PS3 fanboys are worse, that is ignorance with in itself.

Let's face it PS3 fanboys have been teased for the lack of exclusive titles on the PS3, now that they're seeing more and more credible titles you're saying their ignorant, yeah that might be the case but still, seriously? Seriously? Have you read the forums they are both fairly bad. I only have a PS3, sure you can say I'm a fanboy, I'm not, but the fact remains fanboy are equal. I also want to throw out there, you should be able to call youself a fanboy but I feel if you truly are a fanboy, have common sense to know that your preferred brand is not perfect and they are not better than the other(i.e. MS isn't better than Sony vice/versa).

Good article. The open zone of N4G proves his point daily. All fanfags are bad but when somene writes suicide letters and genuinely cries when lossing a exclusive, has meldowns everytime a media site doesn't review their favourite games like he wants to, threatens to put up irelevant petitions,......etc, etc, you know they belong on the summit of the retard scale. Some Sony fans really are candidates for gassing. They are just THAT brutal.

1) Multi-plats takes extra development, that resource can be used to polish up an exclusive title.

2) Everyone likes exclusivity, it's what makes things special. No harm in getting all angry about it, it's actually quite normal when you think about it. Don't go calling them whiners or annoying fanboys, the do have the right to be angry.

3) Final Fantansy franchise is virtually linked to the PlayStation Brand. I'm guessing it was the big bucks that made SE go multi-plat. In the end, the fanbase will speak. Don't go telling them what to say or think.

4) Many of my friends went with the PS3 brand, good on them. My mind has changed over the years, and I have to admit it, the PS3 is clearly a superior piece of hardware (yeah, I've taken a look inside my busted 360). Hardware doesn't mean great software, but now we are starting to see the great games arriving for the PS3. We made fun of em when they had it rough, I can take it like a man when what goes around, comes around.

But I won't be deluded in saying crap just to make myself feel better, or label them as annoying fanboys, as many 360 fanboys has done just as much.

It's a sad day in the gaming industry when this article is allowed to be published.

Didn't some other site do an article like this?

whats with all the crying LOL?

[jeezuz]

Went to Safeway last night and checked out a Gamepro special spring edition mag which shows a special on budget games.

They listed Xbox Platinum hits and PS3s greatest hits or whatever they are called.

The list had about 30 Xbox titles listed under 30 bucks (most were multiplat or available on pc) , from Assassins Creed, Ninja Gaiden and a slew of other titles that are also on PS3s greatest hits but you wouldn't know that looking anywere in the article. Of course between all the multiplats there was a few (10 or less) Xbox exclusives like Fable, Gears, etc.

The list for PS3 was only their exclusive games, so it was about 10 or so games like the original Uncharted and Resistance, Ratchet etc.

Any person ignorant of the video game world that looks at that article would be led to believe that the Xbox has tons of games compared to PS3 and could possibly make their purchase decision towards that, especially budget gamers (of course they wouldn't know that even with its 200 dollar price tag Xbox is more expensive in the long run with accessories and paying for online).

and vice versa...

Kinda like Yankee fans and Red sox fans, import vs domestic, futbol vs football, hiphop vs metal. They simply mirror everything you hate about yourself.
