Poll Does NEOGAF still have a sony bias? (18 votes)

YES 72%
NO 28%

I know what you’ll say, the xbox one reveal soured every gamer’s taste and it tarnished the brand, launching 100 dollars more expensive, forcing kinect down people’s throat while still being underpowered coupled with all the drm fiasco was really a recipe for disaster, I understand eveyone’s grudge and microsoft got all the flak they deserved for it, at the time.

Now, I won’t say microsoft reversed all of that negative stuff, but they’ve come a long way trying to regain people’s trust (I didn’t cave in on the xbox one untill december last year admittedly, so it took a while for me to be convinced mind you), but it seems a lot of neogaf is stuck in the past and still holds that grudge, you can’t have a discussion on any positive xbox related news, lest come the console warriors making the thread unbearable for anyone to discuss anything, you know who I am talking about, people like: LewieP, Javin98, Sense, StrongBlackVine, Conduit, Sangetsu-II, Elandyll, Drifting Spirit,serversurfer, RexNovis, ethomaz, Ilovebish, bish himself, cyberheater Xav, Occam, Klyka, K’ Dash, Randam and a lot of other fanboys whom I won’t name here cause it wouldn’t fit the post.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some good people there and it’s for those people that I keep coming back: Welfare, shira-bansho, statham, donny2112, bgamer90, Y2Kev, Steverulez, CosmicQueso, Chobel, Etta, Allan-bh, ResidentDante, Sommnia, iron creed, U2NUMB, Gowans, neogaffer1, Hawk269, Nepthes, Bear Cub in Sky,pr0cs, Genio88, Grief.exe, Phoenix Fang, Houcuspocus, Falchion, Septic360, Ricky Ricardo, Madness, BeforeU, shandy706, MaulerX there are more good people there, but these are the more prominent posters, point is right now the bad apples seem to far outweigh the good ones.

Of course I couldn’t post it there, calling out sonygaf can get you in trouble but it seems this is an okay place to post this, though it can get ugly here too people are more straight forward about it I don’t even doubt that are some gaffers here as well, but you kinda know what to expect. Your views on the matter?

PS: I don't care if this ends up on neogaf, but I dare someone make a poll exactly like this one there!

More like PlayStation than Xbox on Neogaf just like any other place in the world. It's not a conspiracy.

The world at large strongly prefers PS4 so why wouldn't a worldwide gaming forum have a similar lean?

They just prefer the superior platform. What's wrong with that?

Everyone is biased one way or the other and if they say they ain't they are liars. Playstation just has more fans than Xbox. Always has always will.

It's supposed to be a somewhat neutral board with insiders leaks and all that, now this has nothing to do with what platform is superior, if people there want to discuss something, they should be able to without trolling and things like that, be that thing the ps4, xbox one, wiuu, pc or whatever.

@marano94: Trolling is not allowed there. Being an insider or whatever doesn't mean you can't be biased. I am open about being biased towards Sony on Neogaf, but it is never an issue because I can hold a discussion without resorting to personal or making up things(NyaDC would not last a week on Neogaf for this reason alone).

I've considered doing just that, but then I keep hearing bad things about the place. Things like having to wait a year to get in, and that it is a very politically correct environment with little tolerance for anything else. Don't know if it's all true or not, but it does leave cause for concern.

Nothing wrong with a little pc, and I'm all for good behavior, but I don't approve of censorship and hive thinking type environments.

I beg to differ, it was way different during the wii, 360 and ps3 days.

The SJW's are bad. Basically if you say anything not politically correct that a mod disagrees with you'll get banned. If you join its probably best to stick to pure gaming talk.

@marano94: So one generation out of four where PlayStation hasn't blown the competition away? Last generation was an anomaly.

Sure, whatever helps you sleep at night, your username does look familiar though, I wonder where I've seen that, and no I won't reference you troll posts since it's most threads are littered with that you just have to look hard enough.

Yeah, let's use the Gamespot forum to avoid a ban and put on blast those who you dislike from Neogaf.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Yeah I do not discuss social issues there, even when it relates to gaming. The political climate is a bit too progressive for me and lot of people looking for discrimination where it doesn't exist.

By the end of last gen the Wii was a distant memory and the 360 was a laughing stock because m$ literally stopped releasing any controller based exclusives for about 3 or 4 years. The goodwill Sony gained in the last half of the PS3's lifespan carried over to the PS4.
