You don't see that level of zealotry in Nintendo and Xbox fanbases.
You mean Sony here 😁

Of course you don't being one of the passive-aggressive fans from the other end of the spectrum.

I've yet to see an army of PS influencers all over social media, including youtube, twitter and gaming forums, all with thousands of followers. That includes industry insiders and gaming "journalists".

I've yet to see a PS executive fostering and rewarding radical behavior, like Greenberg does. To the point that things get so hot he has to delete his tweet.

I've yet to see a PS executive spending time in a discord room full of the most toxic fans, waiting for a trial on one of their acquisitions.

The fanbase is so radicalized, that the hardcore ones don't even discuss games. It's so bad that ANY criticism, no matter how small, gets instantly shut down on any media they're present in. Their reddit is a circlejerk shitshow. These people don't care about games, they only venerate executives and talk about budgets.

The main difference between Xbox and any other gaming fanbase is that hardcore Xbox fans do not allow any sort of criticism. You don't see that level of zealotry in Nintendo and PS fanbases. Just this site, a site that's mainly compromised of PS players, is incredibly critical of Sony. Try that on an Xbox site.

Show me a single, decent Xbox youtuber. Someone who is interested in gaming and not spinning shit for Xbox. Mystic for PS and BeatEmUps for Nintendo are pretty critical both. Find me an Xbox channel that does the same. One that doesn't coat every criticism with "yeah but".

Time for some slam poetry!

Jeff Grubb.... Jiff.... Scrubb!
Dancing on porn hub with lame dub
What did he say?
What does he do all day? (Talk crap about PlayStation)
Sitting there smelling bad...
Not quite good enough to be a mad lad
Cause all he does is shill for bill
Please find a woman to get him out of his Genes Park
Go home now little Grubb cause it's getting dark.

Forums have multiple examples
Got a link?

The first thread I clicked on had nothing but uniform opinions and celebrations on the closing of ABK, even though it's a terrible thing for the industry. I wouldn't want Sony or Nintendo buying ABK either.


And again, this is exactly "toeing the line" as I stated.

Im not overly invested in this argument but ive seen critique of MS on the site prior, beyond typical Phil ball licking

Its important to consider how this community can come across to an outside viewer. The nuance isnt always immediately apparent

If you have one post being critic each page that is not nuance at all.

For being a PS focused forum Iconera is very harsh to Sony and PlayStation to the point to a lot of posts and threads look as hate.
Xboxera is the opposite you only see Xbox love there.

It is a clear contrast.

I used to visit from time to time but I eventually realized it was basically an acquisition wishlist website more than an actual gaming website.

No offense to Nick, who was always friendly to me.

The members there are VERY focused on acquisitions above everything else.

Even Xboxera knows what I said is true.
If you post on Xboxera you will have only positive vibe.

Just give a look at the threads here and see if they are the same.
People here disagree a lot with what Sony does and some could even be mistaken as Xbox fan due the harsh words to Sony, PlayStation and their games if you don't know him.

That is a very clear contrast.

🤷‍♂️

There are tons of examples of Xbox fanboys behaving badly this gen like the constant campaigns to spoil PlayStation exclusives for people, harassing reviewers that give Xbox games low scores or harassing people critical of the ABK deal, and numerous other examples but this always gets ignored or downplayed.
I didn't even think about that but it's true.

Every major Sony release there are organized gangs of xbox cultists on social media trying to spoil the game for everyone. I never see that in reverse.
