I wasnt going to get into it with you, since you are like the only person on this site that denies the existence of the term. A fanboy, as others have already stated; is someone who is a fan of something to the point of irrationality. Fanboy is just a slang term for fanatic. Now if you want, ill use the word fanatic just for you(because it sounds cooler IMO). There is a word you cant deny and both serve the same end, because they are mostly used in a negative connotation anyway.

I never said the term didn't exist, I just said I didn't believe it had a firm definition, but if you have one we can go by then I'll go by it.

By that definition, I'm neither a fanboy nor a fanatic. I just love Nintendo that much that I will buy their product no matter what in most cases. But if their games start really being bad, you can be sure I'll stop buying their consoles. Hasn't happened yet, so Pachter's mistaken since he especially has no evidence to back his claim.

Also, from the definition of a stark fan, with passionate interest in the company, I'm a fanboy. Slice it your way, which one I am is up to you. But I'm not sure the term you offered is necessarily universal. I could be wrong.

I dont think you are a fanboy in the way i think of, not a fanatic. You bought other systems in the past and i rarely if ever see you sling mud at another company; one of the things a fanboy would be known to do. Im talking about the really crazy f***, the ones who have altars, the ones who will back any decision their preferred company makes, even if it turns out to be detrimental to themselves.
