I would say Sony fanboys are the worst. Of course it could just be because this site is infested with them.lol

fattyuk3645d ago

1) Anti Sony fans
2) Xbots
3) PC elitists

Conzul3645d ago

Heh, an "anti"-fan.
Now there's a sight.

The Xbots are just like zombies (hypnotized by mediocrity)
The Sony fans are like grammar Nazis (usually right about everything but still annoying about it)
The PC elitists...eh, can't really re-qualify that one.

alexkoepp3645d ago

Its really just Sony fanboys, but only on this site.

talking to people in real life, I ask, "what do you think of the PS4?" and everyone replies "I got the Xbox one"

I'm guessing when you do the initial ps4 setup it requires you to make a n4g account.

L0L_WUT3645d ago

I would say the fanboy that spam another console news with trolling is the worst one;)

n4f3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

@l0l_wut well look who is talking.
your bubbles finally pop.

edit: lmao there is 2 lol_wut
this one is trolling the the troll.
trollception

@alex

Kinda odd considering there are more people with ps4s in the world than xbone yet everyone you ask got an xbone, averages and the law of them would mean you would find double the amount of people with a PS4 when asking around, are you sure you aren't just talking to yourself when asking around.

Flutterby3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

The worst fanboys are the journalists like sessler and the guys at polygon. Then I would say xbone fanboys because they seem to believe all the pr but they completely deny facts, actual facts. They also like to move the goalposts for everything so much that even they don't remember where they left them and end up attacking each other not knowing they are from the same fanboy camp.

avengers19783645d ago

@ Alex and everyone I asked in real life has a PS4...
See you can say anything but the facts remain, the PS4 is out selling the XB1

LOL_WUT3645d ago

Definitely Nintendo fanboys they lash out on you if you legitimately criticize the company. ;)

Venemox3644d ago

"The worst kind of people are those who don't agree with my obsession with a piece of plastic"

You're pathetic.

NewMonday3644d ago

LOL @ one bubble XBone fans calling others fanboys

DragonKnight3644d ago

Lol at the Xbox fanboys having to make sure they are the first to comment so they can say "Sony fanboys."

SniperControl3644d ago

Once again, people on here have real selective memories, back in 2007 this site was infested with xboys, even the mention of Playstation bought a tirade of abuse unseen on here today.

tommygunzII3644d ago

If I'm a fanboy it's for PC, PS, and Nintendo. Xbox brand is something I'll never buy into, guess that makes me an Xbox hater :)

Madock3644d ago

PC elitists very high up the list
I'm a poke master myself so can't really talk much lol

Kryptix3644d ago (Edited 3644d ago )

1- Xbots

Never accepts the truth when it's obvious. Numbers never lie but Xbots somehow twist numbers around to the point where they believe in their own lie. Logic is dead with most of the Xbots. Explains the one bubble warriors on N4G and some create multiple accounts due to that.

2- PS fanboys

Similar to Xbots when it comes to downplaying negative news. Though, they accept the truth because when truth comes out, many stay quiet due to acceptance. They are not creators of lies like the Xbot but braggers of positive truth. It gets annoying when a positive truth gets shoved everywhere into unrelated topics.

3- PC fanboys

At times they can be number 2. Sticks their nose into arguments they have nothing to do with. For example, always bring specs to arguments not talking about specs. Rarely talks about games, just having the most powerful specs. Never realizing console gaming is much different than PC gaming. Console gamers never compare themselves to handheld gamers because they know it's two different things.

4- Nintendo fanboys

Hiding in their caves, accepting their console for what it is. Rarely speak out but when they do, it smells of desperation due to Nintendo's mistakes. Difficult to defend so they don't talk much. But when they need to, they bash one of the other 2 consoles or Vita. They're also difficult to spot due to low numbers.

As a PC ELITIST who is widely known on this site I am appalled by this article because,

it didn't post any specs, have screen shots in 4K, or offer a link to a mod of this story. LOL!

Bathyj3645d ago

Way to have a sense of humour about yourself ATI.

I'm giving you a bubble (which you obviously won't actually receive) because only having read the comments as far as yours in this thread, I fear that quality will be hard to come by.

mrpsychoticstalker3644d ago

Real gamers know that PS Sony Fanboys are the worst, is not even a question.

CYCLEGAMER3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

LOL....sorry but I would have to agree.

I call them Sony extremist

I have never seen a gaming fanbase take things to such extremes, trolling children toy stores, threatining developers, petitioning for opposing consoles exclusives, trolling amazon, trolling metascores etc....what other fanbase does this crap?

If I were to catagorize each console fanbase (in no paticular order) it would be.

Nintendo fanboys = Apologist
Xbox fanboys = Dude bros or meat heads
Sony fanboys = Extremist
Pc fanboys = Elitist or Cocky

Conzul3645d ago

Pfffft. I resent the intimation that Sony fanboys take anything to extremes.
Normally, we use historical record and critical review to back up our viewpoints. Very little of what we say is subjective. We just want to enlighten others to all the fun we're having and all the money we're saving. We don't want to diminish what you have...we just want you to experience some of the awesomeness that WE do.

Hail Sony.

Nekroo913645d ago

well the majority of xbots act and are children who like shooters and call other type of games overrated

Shnazzyone3645d ago

I can agree with this. Especially on this site.

Sci0n3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

If you was on N4G when the 360 was a hot commodity and everything PS related was critisized, attacked and spoke down upon by devs and 360 fanboys because games like mafia had less blades of grass then the 360 you would understand where the PS fans are coming from. To see the X1 fans denying facts, moving the goal post and adopting false prophets like mister x who spreads lies and fills there heads with crazy ideas that would turn you into a extremist too. Seeing facts denied is very annoying, have your favorite console or whatever but recognize the truth.

Chrischi19883644d ago

That is because most 360 fans moved to PS4 after MS bad PR.

MysticStrummer3644d ago

"...what other fanbase does this crap?"

All of them to some extent, and XB fans do every one of those things as often or more than PS fans.

@Sci0n - You may get a few PMs claiming that anti-Sony time never happened. I get at least one of those every time I mention it.

starchild3645d ago (Edited 3645d ago )

As far as extremism and vociferousness I would say it goes like this:

Sony>Xbox>PC>Nintend o (Sony fans being worst, Nintendo fans being the most mild)

Here are my personal favorite platforms for comparison:

PC>Sony>Xbox>Nintend o

Even though I don't own a Wii U and Nintendo consoles are my least favorite I can easily see that Nintendo fans are the most mild.
