To be honest alot of fanboyism, is really born from the practical desire of wanting the games you want to come out on the system you already own. I already own a x360, so if a big title goes from ps3 exclusive to a ps3/x360 title, I'm thrilled, not so much to do about seeing Microsoft winning the battle and Sony losing, but more to do with getting the game I want on the system I already own. Sony failing though is another plus, it means even more big titles I'll want in the future will be announced for the 360 and Wii(the other systems I own). I can afford a ps3, but really don't feel like owning three next gen systems I don't have enough time to play three systems to justify owning all three, I already feel I'm struggling to balance time between two systems. However if I bought a ps3 all my desire to see exclusives get moved to the 360 would not only disapear but instead I'd hope they stayed ps3 exclusives, so that they'd justify me purchasing one.
