Except you are wrong and have no evidence to the contrary. As I posted before, scientific research shows that devotion to certain brands is a religious experience. Brands like Apple, Harley Davison, and others (say consoles) do generate religious response and worship: https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=fanboys+worship+religion&oq=fanboys+worship+religion&gs_l=hp.3...37471.41243.2.41796.24.23.0.0.0.0.198.1943.18j5.23.0...0.0...1c.1.9.psy-ab.VI_9HUSNDkc&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45512109,d.dmg&fp=d78f862414922e23&biw=1331&bih=624 There is a simple link to the two. Yes, people do worship the makers of certain electronic equipment, PARTICULARLY consoles. Look at what goes into prelaunch of consoles, with people camping out DAYS to get one, the fact people dress up as certain characters, practice certain rituals, and also end up forming fellowships around electronic devices on here. People sing praises, evangelize people for games, and get into fanboy wars that resembles religious or political discussions. Fanhood alone isn't worship, but the stronger it gets, the MUCH closer it gets to being religious and showing worship. Your disagreeing with it, is your taking offense at religion for some reason.

That link refers me to a google search, not a source.
Futhermore, from one of the first websites listed - "The cult-like worship of Apple now has some basis in pseudoscientific fact."
I've already stated that fanboyism can be religious, but fanhood isn't.
Again, fanhood != worship. If you want to state that fanboyism = worship, I'm good with that.
PS: There seems to be only discussion of Apple, not video game consoles - just to further my position.
