*cough cough* ad populum fallacy *cough cough*.
That proves nothing. Unless everyone who has stated in this thread that opinion=/=fact is wrong, which is what you're claiming?

Ad populum fallacy doesn't apply for everyone who believe in democracy. As majority is always right, whether you belong to the majority or not.
Um, maybe because I was interested in seeing which controller people prefer? Not that hard to understand.
Yes, the Ad populum fallacy does apply here. And yes, I'd be saying the same thing if the 360 was winning. Majority does not make right, and general consensus has no bearing on objective quality. By your logic, if everyone loved and adored ET for the Atari 2600, I take it then that it'd be considered a great game, right?
I think you are confusing objectivity with belief. Democracy is something you believe in, not something you can prove. As for your example, no one likes ET on Atari 2600, so there's no reason to believe that it is a good game. So by general consensus on system wars, DS3 is the better controller. And if you are going to go to such depth discussing proofs, ad populum, objectivity, ect. Maybe you should have considered them BEFORE making these exaggerated claims on your thread title/open post.
