I always wondered about Sony fans, do they just love the Playstation products, or do they love Sony everything? Like, do they also own Sony Bravias, Sony movies, Vaios, Cameras, Blu Ray Players, Walkmans, etc? I'm sure it varies from person to person but I wonder what the general consensus  is.

I don't think it carries over much now.  If the Sony name were all that, I believe the PSP would of done better.  Even with Microsoft there isn't as much carryover either.  With Nintendo, it seems to be an exception.  Because of this, I ended up saying "Playstation fan" in the subject header, as opposed to "Sony fan".

Its not that Nintendo is an exception, they focus on a larger audience and make lucrative business decisions. If they stop doing that, the Nintendo name by itself will not help more than the Microsoft or Sony name, maybe less.
