Well, because of that, actually. Xbox fans are constantly told how wrong they are choosing their console, how the games they like are trash. They become defensive and, sometimes, aggressive.All of the experiences with the Xbox community from spanish are the worst and i don't understand the pattern why such loyalty to that brand specially over here where is more of a Sony and Nintendo country.
The Spanish Xbox community (that must be like 12 people in total) does not represent Gamers in general.
This is far from an isolated incident, it happens all the time and with many different video game related communitiesThe Spanish Xbox community (that must be like 12 people in total) does not represent Gamers in general.
I swear this is the main reason of why I don't have any "gaming friends", they're all scummy assholes defending a FUCKING BRAND and I bet most of them hate women, black and LGBT people just to fill out the "gamer" check marks.
Just fucking why, man?
Such a false statement. In fact the most part of people that buy consoles, especially the most popular ones like PlayStation or Nintendo in Spain are just like the rest of the world: casuals and people that don't post in forums and don't belong to console wars. If i was to point someone it would be the vocal minorities that feel they are right and the rest of world wrong.Well, because of that, actually.

And while this incident is disgusting, the hate and disrespect that you encounter in Spain if you like Xbox and, often, Nintendo too, from Sony fans (whom are the vast majority) is incredible. Like, it´s not WWIII, but it really sucks.
I believe the more parity between brands, the less toxicity. And few countries experience levels of disparity in console sales and popularity comparable to Spain´s).
Cómo me enferma ese idiota anormal.This looks some Sasel-level BS.
Otro mal día para los videojocs en la península.
Shit, I might have snapped way too quickly but it just gets tiring man, I have been trying to find common ground with other players in my region (Mexico) but they're mostly horrible people and I end up going back to my solo games. I'm glad you're in a safe group though, keep up doing what's right: respecting other people.Most of my online friends I chat and play with on a regular basis are very progressive folks, not perfect mind you, but we are pro women, pro minority rights, and pro LGBT. If anyone in the group pulled this shit we would not tolerate it.

Hell, sometimes I have a hard time having a good outlook on Spaniards, the most racist abuse and insults I have received in my life have come from people of that country. Either in the actual real world or online, it never ends up well for neither of us.
A reminder that a lot for these people with similar views post here/GAF. A lot of familiar names pop up on twitter posts.
Don't blame the Spanish gamers, a lot of others share the same sentiment.
Us gamers huh?
Since you are from Spain, I have to assume that you either are actually a Sony Fanboy or completely blind. Spain is a country where the animosity against Xbox is incredible, you only have to visit any gaming site to see it, from Anait to Meristatio. In Nivel Oculto, a respected site, until not long ago, every time they talked about a game releasing in consoles they'd say something like "releasing on PS4, PC, Switch and Juan". Literally. Any gaming forum from Spain is hell if you like anything Xbox related.Such a false statement.

When I referred to Sony fanboys being the majority, by the way, I was comparing them with the total of fanboys, not with gaming users in general. I thought it was obvious.
Not really. Current gen makes it even harder to own 2+ platforms because all of them have a subscription fee now. Paying $140 a year to get online play on all platforms is quite a significant expense for something that shouldn't be paid for in the first place.What a bunch of morons, really embarrassing for all us.
Don't many ppl own at least 2 platforms nowadays?
This is bad but you've got to have some compassion for the Spanish Xbox community, all 12 of them. Being an Xbox fan in Spain is like living in the Alamo 24/7, over time it's got to fuck up your head.
XD

Nah, it also happened when 360 had an awesome line up and PS3 hit its lowest. I think a lot of people entered the console market with PlayStation and see Xbox as an impostor and Nintendo as childish. In the end, it's just an attempt to feel superior by bullying other people's choices hoping that'll validate their own. Like sport teams' fans, console fanboys aren't doing anything other than trying to build an identity. They are just terribly toxic a lot of the time. Spain happens to have an over representation of PlayStation, which validates certain behaviors that otherwise wouldn't be socially allowed because they'd bother too many people, similar in a way to the raise of racist behaviors in America after electing Trump or the UK after Brexit won. I'm sure it happens with other platforms in other markets, I just don't have first hand experiences with it.Why all the animosity toward Xbox? Granted, they're first party games aren't as up to speed as Sony's, but I enjoy Halo and Gears of War whenever a new game releases. Does it stem from jealousy of not owning a particular system? If so, very odd. I never resented SNK because I couldn't afford Neo Geo back in the day. Still couldn't afford it if it were a thing today.
It has usually been about 50%. Now there's no choice, gotta pay no matter what console you're on.What's the ration breakdown of console owners who have online gaming subscriptions? It just blows my mind the amount that people are willing to pay for online games.

Sadly this is the reality of Spanish forums. Videogame forums are full of fanboys trying to be the most obnoxious one, and then there's forochoces...
I think EOL is a good community (at least the few threads I read there).
That's almost true for the entire NASDAQ.How do none of these fellas have a tailor. Damn son, they look like they are wearing their dad's clothes.

You just reminded me that certain bald is going to have a laugh making avideo out of this.
On Google+, there were many users who despised Apple and would spew nonsense about how terrible iOS etc. are all day.Call me when you have a hate movement spring up from cellphone enthusiast communities and we can have a nice conversation then.
