Fine...turn a blind eye. Sony fanboys have complained. After E3, it was all the rage and a war broke out between the 360 fanboys and the Sony fanboys. Im not an advocate for either faction, but this gen i've realized that 360 owners have more logical arguments. Last gen the fans of the orignal Xbox were morons who were graphics whores. This gen that role goes with flying colors to the PS3 fanboys. Most people did not keep their mouth shut. People were bitching in homes, on forums, myspace, videogame sites and more. To ignore the truth is the sad part.
I agree with you that because of the current market situation that most 3rd party games will be multiplatform. I haven't met a PS3 fanboy who hasn't had a biased argument. I had to deal with that same nonsense from Xbox fanboys last gen while Nintendo fanboys were the ones bitching because they were in last but had valid and historically backed arguments (in most cases). Nintendo really don't have much to argue about today, and I don't know why they defend the Wii. The Wii isn't exactly trying to go toe to toe with the other systems. It's doing it's own thing and thats what makes it beautiful and unique.
I this gen happen to be a PS360 guy, because that just so happens to suit my tastes. Microsoft has been able to pump out alot of great diverse games that I can play though.

Am I the only one who takes issue with these broad generalisations and assupmtions?
Second bolded: I do understand where you're coming from. There is some truth when people say that stereotypes exist for a reason but sometimes I think we all grossly overexaggerate them.

When I speak of fanboys of which I am "generalizing", i'm talking about a large amount of faction building morons who type on their computer everyday backing up their more powerful console. FACT: For the past two generations the most powerful systems were never in first and that has always been hard to swallow. It reduces things to shallow arguments. When you advocate everything blindly you are a unpaid messenger for corporations like MS and Sony (Who don't need you, but your money will do). I have no party lines. There is only my opinion and I side with the consoles that gather the most 3rd party titles, have the largest and most diverse library and have just good enough graphics for me to enjoy the furtherance of the gen.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and am equally appauled (a bit strong, I suppose) when people magically turn overnight from anticipating XIII more to vsXIII simply because it was then a multiplat. And I, too, think that it is quite a large amount of people. We just simply have a different idea of what a fanboy is, I consider myself a Final Fantasy fanboy just the same as I consider myself a Montreal Canadiens fanboy because I fervently follow both and am pretty much obessed with both, while not advertising them or pushing them in anyway... but now I'm just talking semantics and so I concede.
Sorry for misinterupting your post. Just a little difference in what we think a fanboy is.
