PS3 Fans?

Why is it that whenever someone posts something that you don't agree with you label that person as a "fanboy?"

I own MANY consoles as if you look at my games collection on this site you will clearly see that if I am a fanboy of anything I am a fanboy of video games in general.

I personnaly think Sony screwed up with the PS3. By pricing it so high at launch that nobody could afford it. Sony has made the PS3 out to be nothing more than a glorified Blu-ray player. Then when Sony finally drops the price to something more reasonable they take away features like backwards compatibility. WTF is up with that? Piss poor planning, that's what that is.

Another thing Sony screwed up about is the fact that there have been a severe lack of decent, EXCLUSIVE games for the PS3. MGS, Drakes Fortune, and Finaly Fantasy XIII I do not personnaly consider to be console sellers. I will not spend $400 to play three games.

Basically it comes down to differentiation in this generation of consoles and I don't think the PS3 has enough to differentiate it from it's competition. The Wii has it's unique control scheme. The Xbox 360 has it's large library of high quality EXCLUSIVE games. The PS3 has three high quality EXCLUSIVE games, and the ability to play Blu-ray movies........not my idea of what a VIDEO GAME CONSOLE!!!! should offer.
