Do you fit the profile? I don’t – I’m older, dumber than a bag of hammers and have roughly 18 ZAR to my name. My shortcomings aside, according to PSN’s director of operations Eric Lempel, the average PSN user is a decent, upstanding chap. That seems to be far removed from the average Xbox Live user, who is a 15-year old snivelling idiot whose only means of communications seems to be calling everyone and everything “gayâ€
Who is the PlayStation Network audience?
Lempel : Right now, it’s primarily male. The average age is 28 years old, in usually the middle- to higher-income range. They over-index against those with graduate degrees. But it’s expanding. What we’re finding ever since we’ve introduced services like the video download service, we’re getting more of the household on the PlayStation Network. Some of the top rentals and sales on the video side have been content that probably doesn’t appeal exactly to that 28-year-old male. It’s more those movies that are geared toward women.
It’s a pity though that the average PS3 fanboy is an emotionally crippled, illogical, vitriol-filled retard whose sense of self worth is directly proportional to validation about his choice of console.

Nice PhotoShop skills Geoff!!! Haha.. Love that show.
So, it seems I neither fit the average PSN user profile nor the XBL user profile… might I be having an identity crisis?
Who am I?…. I don’t know?…. :unsure:

As long as you insult both the PS and Xbox crowd or none, then the article is cool, otherwise we may as well be looking at 50+.

To round it off, I insulted everyone – including myself.
It’s nice to have a bit of balance. :happy:

All 3, and both handhelds.
The only one of them that I don’t like – at all – is the Wii.
I don’t have any particular allegiances to any console or its manufacturer.
I was quite a Nintendo fan, but seeing as how they’ve screwed me over this gen, I have little love for ’em.

As apposed to the macho console that allows you to “dress up” your little avatar ?

no offense to the writer, but this banal dribble is a piss poor attempt to rile up the more irascible members of the gaming fraternity.
but by the comments posted so far, its clearly already worked it’s wily charm.
