Fanboys can't hurt 3rd parties.
3rd parties can hurt themselves, and try to put the blame on fanboys. 3rd parties have to know their consumers base, and they have to know how to market their game to them.
They have to make good games too, for them to sell.
Fanboys can be vocal on forums, and give grades and ratings to games, but these have nearly no impact on games sales. This has been shown again and again. You can rate Madden any way you like, it will sell. You can give Okami the best grade, it won't sell more. And rates are very visible, fanboys rants on forums are not.
