Sorry didn't read. But fanboys only matter on the internet. They have little to no impact on gaming as a business.


same. btw, PUBLISHERS hurt the industry. I wont get into an essay of reasons why.

@ oniyide- it doesnt bother me to the extent that i would stop playing my Wii and slash my wrists lol. Its just that nobody can post any constructive criticsm about the Wii, just utter shit and insults, if someone doesnt like the Wii and gives valid reasons then fine.


YOu might be going to the wrong sites, a couple of them give some valid reasons for not liking the WIi, for instance ho-hum online that Ninty never really improved.

@ oniyide -yeah mate the Wii is lacking in several departments big time, and i have had lots of good debates and chats with people online with most making very valid points. I suppose my rant was directed to the fanboys who hide behind their keyboards and go on a trolling mission, for instance im not a big fan of microsoft, but i dont feel compelled to visit Xbox sites to offer nothing constructive and call their fans "retards" or whatever for no apparent reason. Ive got too much class for that :)

Calling me "touchy and blind"?!

Let me get this straight, a Nintendo boy defending another Nintendo boy calling me blind, you don't see the irony in this?! If not, you too are a sad fella.

At least I own Nintendo and Sony products and doesn't talk shits about either companies, unlike you guys...

Wow damn, you really proved my point. :P 

For the record, I'm not a Nintendo fanboy and actually do own all consoles and a gaming PC. Also, when did I "talk shit" about Sony...? Actually, don't answer that question, because you'll just be lying anyways.

Are you serious? Fanboys are a very annoying "breed" of gamers, but they are needed. These fanboys are the gamers who (pretty much) buy anything said company releases. The industry needs them.
