Psychology of a fanboy (my personal perspective)

[Mummelmann]

I was more of a fanboy before I joined Vgchartz.
A lot of users accuse me of hating Nintendo, which can't be further from the truth since the Wii is the only product (console) from Ninty I have not liked.
It also seems that people make assumptions if you say you like either Wii or PS3; if you like one, you must loathe the other by default. Strange logic.

At heart, I'm mostly a PC gamer, and 90% of my gaming time is spent of the PC playing retro style RPG's or longdrawn strategy games (a la Civ series or SimCity).

My official stance on platforms:

PC: Currently my favored platform, simply because there are thousands of games new and old availiable and also because it is by far the best platform technically and for custom/usermade content and add-on's.

X-box 360: I did not like the original box one bit, and my initial reaction to the 360 was the same. it has shifted though, especially when I see what a huge effort MS are making with it. I still hate MS as PC dev's, but they're redeemed in the console department in my eyes.

PS3: As soon as my most anticipated games arrive, I'm buying one. I had such a good time with the PS and the PS2 and I recognize the same potential entertainment value in the PS3 eventually.

Wii: I was very excited about when it was first unveiled, but upon launch I was really disappointed. Ninty said it would be only slightly less powerful than it's competitors and that it would be a gaming revolution. Neither is true by far in my opinion. It really sucks since I own (ed) and loved NES, SNES N64 and GC... I might get one for SMG, MarioKart and the Zelda series, but only because I REALLY want to continue playing those games and not because I agree with Nintendo's development scheme.
