Fanboys the downfall of Nintendo? That's crazy-talk. No way Nintendo survives the N64 and GC years without the fanboys. Well, they probably would've been fine because of the handheld business, but without the Fanboy sale, the GC would've done far worse than it did. Nintendo probably would've been far more reluctant to release another console.
My Top 5:
Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger
My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 
and Wii 
Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.
