Be thankful I didn't go with my original idea for the subject being: "Why do Playstation and XBox fanboys ignore the Wii in the console wars?" which was based on my discussions I had in a Gamestop with a tween boy who was a diehard Playstation fan (to the extent he didn't believe the XBox had anything superior to it) and my taking the XBox side. I brought up the Wii and out came all the discussion points I raised. I decide rather than focus on just this, to make it more general, and bring up other things I ran into. I also felt it worked better as a general discussion topic on the Wii not being seen as part of this generation.
In regards to console wars (fanboys being the foot soldiers), I can't recall ever see such excitement over the desire to come in second (phrased as beating the other console). If anyone can point to this, let me know. And the console wars are more than sales also. They talk about hyping up games to. I also saw bad cases where Playstation fanboy has the PS2 attack the 360, bringing up God of War as a taunt.
