Lose the hat and we'll talk.

I would have no where to connect all of them at once=P Plus to make it worthwhile I would have to spend way more than I already do on games (which is probably too much as it is).

However, I wouldn't complain if it was given to me, but for a purchase it just isn't worth it for me right now, for either console...down the road though I do want to get a 360 or a PS3 and I am currently leaning heavily towards a PS3 but I want to see that they are going to be a stable and supported platform before I make my investment. Oh and the PS3 would have to have Full BC or I would likely just sell it and buy more Wii games... I simply will not support a console that isn't BC.

Uh, DUH... If your console of choice does well, then by the end of the life of the system, you have more games to choose from(without having to spend $1000 in order to get every system available), good games are often touched back on with good sequels, and games often are more specifically designed to fully explore all the strengths of what that console can do, rather than attempting to keep it as generic as possible in order to ensure you can port it to every system.

In Britain the national obsession is football, and plenty of people support one of the premier league teams (to the death) without living anywhere near the team's home town. I mean, I'm sure even you know a Manchester United fan or two regardless of where you happen to live in the world. This also demonstrates the fact that teams actually have massive fanbases in countries that don't even really play their game, which I would say contradicts your point.

I'd also point out that like sports fans, fanboys are often raised in fan-families, much like sports fans. I know that my brother has certainly been influenced by my Nintendo-love. Now he's his own man, and loves it for all sorts of his own reasons. We've also loved Nintendo when they've been down (and we recognised and lamented the fact), and didn't stop loving them, just as you don't stop loving a team when the best players leave and are relegated to a lower division.

Now some would say, "why would you even love the team? It doesn't even really stand for anything - there's nothing about say Chelsea, that makes it particularly Chelsea-like"

This is where I believe Fanboys have a one-up over the reasoning of many sports fans - as the three 'teams' really do stand for something (each one of them vastly different), there's more variability in the things they do, and the people who shaped the companies have been driving them with specific visions practically from their founding (sort of). If Aston-Villa or whathaveyou has no money no discernable homegrown talent, and is just a corporate entity, there's a good chance they'll never recover as a team. But with Nintendo, I know that the company itself is capable of strokes of genius that will never leave and almost never be lost. Well, whatever, it sounds better in my head.

As for respect of others, like I said, only blind fanboys fail to even acknowledge the competition, and frankly, there are plenty of Sports nuts who fail to see reason.


and BTW, yes, my Brother and I have been celebrating. We see the current situation as a kind of Karmic Retribution, and that all 3rd parties willing to stab N64 in the back but not PS3 all get what they deserve.

Goodbye and, Hello

I'd say i like Microsoft more now, but i still hate Nintendo.

I'd say I'm:

75% Sony
24% Microsoft
0.9% 3DO
0.05% Atari
0.04% Nike??
0.005% Apple
0.004% Tacks?? (skate company)
0.0005% For Communism
0.0004% For Slaver
0.0001% Nintendo

That just about says it all, I'd rather live in a Communist country with Slavery for all, than have Nintendo as the government.

^^ my math was actually good. that equals 100%

it has taught me NOTHING... or has it.

salute to the only guy who unfanboyed here!

VGChartz taught me the Wii U is doomed and I need to tell the world not to get one.

Didn't we all?

And congratulations for becoming boring.
