Everything you said up to this point is fine. When it comes to supporting a console and blindly being negative to the others is not. People definitely should be called out for blindly supporting their console without being real about its faults. This is what defines a fanboy. A person who would champion their product or corporation of choice and turning a blind eye to anything not so positive they do.
Such behavior does not fuel competition but instead just clog up any real discussion with Fanboys rants. I agree that all console makers do not have to be the dominate console but you definitely do not want your console of choice to be to dominate. A true gamer no matter how much they like one corporation over the other must also have a critical eye towards crap they do.
Right now I think the balance is great. Sony is not to far ahead and MS is not the dominate console. MS plays better when they are behind because they do not go all corporate like they did at the beginning of this generation. Sony is not to far ahead where they would go all corporate like they did during the beginning of last generation. Nintendo on the other hand is somewhere in limbo but I must say, that new bundle they are bringing out is a winner.
