They all have their own uniquely annoying idiosyncrasies.

Offhand, Apple elitists are among the worst (coming from a Mac user since the 80s who's owned 7 Macs, 4 iPods and an iPhone), particularly the ones who "discovered" Apple in the post-iPod market and inexplicably buy (or want) just about everything Apple designs. BTW: the Mac is still terrible as a gaming platform. And if you're running Windows in dual boot for the purpose of gaming through Windows, why Dear God, oh why. Does using a PC box give you a non-Apple brand rash?

Sega fanboys seems to be eternally embittered since Sega's own poor business decisions and practices allowed them to be steamrolled out of the console market.

Sony fanboys have only recently begun to accept a world in which the Playstation brand is no longer the first word in gaming. Quite a few are still in a state of deep denial.

Nintendo fanboys developed the ridiculous tendency this generation to defend literally everything the company releases as being pure gold while conveniently overlooking the products that weren't, always falling back on the "Nintendo Prints Money!" clause as proof they can do no wrong.

PC fanboys (coming from a PC builder/overclocker)... Oh my. People could probably write a hilariously spot on book about these guys. I won't even venture to start here. Newsflash: the vast majority of individuals don't want to build their own computer from a box of parts ordered from NewEgg in the interest of saving a few fistfuls of cash and give them the most FPS per Dollar. You will always be a small niche market of the overall PC userbase.

Xbox fanboys: if you were really hardcore, you would have already built your own custom gaming PC and realized that the only advantage the 360 has to offer is its own encapsulated userbase otherwise known as XBL.

"But... how will I play Halo?" Fine. You get a pass; enjoy your Xbox. Crackhead.

Didn't even know there were WoW fanboys...I've never seen one at least.



Hide your kids, hide your wife

Apple fanboys, without a doubt.  Nothing else even comes close.  And I say this as an iPhone user.



I'm also gonna have to say Sony, and it looks like most people agree with me.

There was no "all of the above" option, so no vote for me.



@greenmedic, fair enough

fanboys in general are bad, however 

Sony/Microsoft fanboys always appear to me as to be aggressive and always at each others throats.  They are like 'Good day Sir/Madam, *console name* sucks'  Sony fanboys also seem to have suffered a serious mental condition when Sony were no longer top dog in the market and entered a state of denial.  I have seriously seen Sony fanboys tell me that there is no way the DS will overtake the PS2!

Nintendo fanboys on the other hand are less aggressive, but very highly defensive.  For example if one was to claim that they saw a Wii in toy 'r' us, some Nintendo fanboys would go 'Are you insinuating that the Wii is a toy!  How very dare you!  I will think that you will find that all consoles regardless of manufacturer are toys, not just the Wii you blatenly and scandalously lied about!'

At least that's just my experience with them




Sony is the most polarizing brand this generation, due to the past history of dominance.
