Consoles and fanboys, historically, where did this hate come from?

With the PS360 its fairly easy to trace where it started. After the PS3 launch the X fans started throwing mud at sonyfans accusing PS3 of not having any games, bad ports, they also created wii60 groups and ps3 songs etc. Sony fans retaliated with the 360 song, bringing up RROD and hd dvd. Chad Warden perfectly summed up what was wrong with the competition and concluded the fanboy wars lol.

360/PS3 actually started in the previous generation, and nothing like how you stated.

Since multiple consoles existed, there have been fanboys. The only thing now is there is so many different mediums for them to easily express themselves.

 

as I mentioned before, I guess the internet helped facilitate all of of this....

But in a previous post someplace above, somebody said playground fist fights over it??

Really?

Because I don't remember anything like that back in the day, but again maybe I was just too young....
