I'm sorry Inners, but if you think PS3 owners are somehow more tactical than 360 owners, I fear you are sadly mistaken. Perhaps you've been fortunate in who you've played with and against, but the truth is that in the end both PS3 and 360 gamers are average shmucks like you and me. Some of them are college guys who like a round of multiplayer before they go out, some are kids who can't go 5 seconds without seeing an explosion... whatever platform, they are the same. Holding up PS3 gamers (especially 'exclusive' gamers, Jumplion) as a paragon of tactics and restraint over the general unwashed is just asking for trouble.
And what experience do you have with PS3 gamers? Most have a IQ high enough that'll you only need to lead by example. Seriously it happens A LOT on first party games and occasionally on third party but it still happens fairly often. Not like 360 where all I usually see is everybody for themselves.
Good to see generalisations are alive and well today.
I think you are tarring every 360 online game with the Halo 3 fanbase brush. After playing COD4 online I have found them to be totally different to the jerk-offs you get playing H3. It really depends on the game.
Plus I think you'll find that the PS3 online userbase is smaller than the 360 online userbase (which is a piss in the bucket compared to the PC online userbase) so you are more than likely to find a higher percentage of "questionable people". Add to that the fact you have to sell your firstborn to afford a PS3 in the first place, less families are going to be able to justify buying one and therefore pick up a 360 to satiate their ADD plagued offspring, thereby increasing the amount of foul-mouthed, pre-pubescent malcontents online.
You know it makes sense.
