I don't think it's even about the power and graphics difference for some of them, but when you've had years of suppression that no longer exists anymore, it was an inevitable backlash. Well, that and the few zealot sony fans claiming some kind of outright victory here just made things worse.
I have a Pro and enjoy it and now have a 1x. Both are great for their own reasons, which everyone here knows already and I can personally say for me I've always enjoyed both platforms (sony/xbox), but I can't deny watching some of the sony fanboy salt hasn't been at least a little bit rewarding. It really was out of hand here and it's at least good to see things evened out finally.
Having said all of that, I doubt we will ever get to the place we would all like, as the only reason GAF may have seemed better in that regard before was due to the banning, ridicule, suppression and shaming of the xbox brand in general, leaving not a lot of people to even take up the argument and those that did quickly became labeled, if not excommunicated.
What we really need is for good modding based on ridiculous fanboy posts from any side, and most especially personal attacks to be put down and put down HARD. There's no need to call anyone junior, or to call someone specific a fanboy (the term in general is fine) or an idiot or any of that nonsense. Just make your opinion known and let it stand w/o fear of being ridiculed, even if it's an unpopular one, unless you are factually wrong, in which case being corrected should happen. But there's far too many posters here who can't let a different opinion stand w/o name calling and shaming. It's really bizarre, especially w/ popular titles or game comparisons (GT v Forza, etc).
I'm willing to bet alot of the newly freed (lol) Xbox fanboys here would rather it be biased in favor of Xbox. They don't want fair, they want it to be an extension of something like a crapgamer comments section.
