LOL you can't be serious? "Console war" goes back as far as PC vs consoles, when people used to be like "Consoles are for kids, real gamers play on PC with our grown up text RPGs where we can tell our characters to fuck themselves" *snicker* *has asthma attack*
Then after it was previlant that NES and consoles were here to stay it became SNES vs Genesis, which again Genesis played the "Nintendo is for kids card" that failed, PS1 pulled the same card but also grew the market by pulling in nongamers like the guys that used to think they were too good for games and those that beat up the gamer nerds (AKA Jocks) then you saw games like Madden sell like crazy even though it was the same crappy game every year (funny how life goes in circles) and so on till you come to today... MS didn't start it and they won't be the end of it, my nostradomus prediction is the final console war will be between Nintendo, Sony, SEGA!, and... ATARI WITH AN EPIC COME BACK C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Before console wars, there was Chevy vs. Ford. There have always been people that take brand affiliation as Very Serious Business.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Oh yes I know, I've told this story a million times in various threads, hoping that someone will walk away knowing a little more, and often times the Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge point is brought in. Life is a cycle...

I would agree with this. PSP and DS don't seem to get enough attention. For instance, for jRPG fans, PSP is really becoming an awesome system as of late. Same with the DS. Most people on this site don't get that in Japan, home consoles play 2nd fiddle to handhelds. It shows, in the sales, but you really have to live in the country for a while to see that first hand.
The only PC fanboys I hate are the cheaters that have to show their l337 hAx0rz skills.
The one thing about Wii and 360 fans is they both have their franchises they worship over anything else. There is always the feeling you can't call your self a 360 fan if you don't like Halo and Gears. I just want to like Lost Odyssey, ToV, and Fable 2. I don't care about console shooters - I like them on PC. For a Nintendo fan, it's Zelda and Mario - which I love both, but I think Nintendo has been weak catering to fans of those games this generation.
With PS3 fans, it's alright to not like Gran Turismo but like LBP and MGS4 - or Vice versa. Each PS3 fan has their game they really hype more than the others. Maybe it all combines to where Wii60 fans see it as "all PS3 fanboys hype all these games."

I'm not a 360 or Wii owner, but to me the most annoying people are those that constantly talk about "fanboys". "Fanboys this", "fanboys that", is there nothing more interesting to talk about? Why talk about them, why even think of them or try to find out what is their motivation or mindset, seems totally in vain to me.
If you don't like "overhyping" things, why the heck are you guys "overhyping" "fanboys" that much?
Ps3 Fan boys.
Proud owner of all three consoles and handhelds.

Actually.. if PS3 fanboys and Wii fans annoy the 360 fanboys the most, and vice versa (x2).. .would it not be the case that a nonfanboy would find all 3 of them equally annoying?
So therefore, everyone who listed a particular fanboy is in turn a fanboy themselves.
Win.

Funny, I asked the same question when I joined the forum...
PS3 fanboys are the most annoying of course !! They flood the forum like true sony marketing zealots specialist.
Always full of crap articles about their next messiah (for those who just came back from a trip to the moon, this is Killzone 2..)? HUUUUGE signatures with images and videos of their favorite games, sony propaganda...and bizarre biased analysis on how PS3 will sell 10 million sku in 2 weeks... 
This is an agression for me every time I open a post about PS3 related stuffs (oh my eeeeeyes !! )
Wii fanboys are less active but don't flame with them... cause they can swarm you in a second !! 
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
| The_vagabond7 said: PS3 fanboys. They aren't used to losing and think it's a massive injustice that people aren't praising the PS3 up and down like the last two PS systems. |
I'm a PS3 owner,, and I MUST say this: You are completely, 100% right.
It's shamefull to enter a forum and see how people get mad at other people just because they don't think the PS3 its the best thing in the world...
So my vote goes to PS3 fanboys...
