I am not a fanboy of any gaming company. I am a Game of Thrones fanboy though!

yes you are. Sorry bro, you can't pretend otherwise.  I've seen your 'arguments' in other console war threads. 


I will give you £100 via PayPal if you can show me an example of me showing fanboyism in a console war thread.

If I had to put the three companies up to percentages, maybe...

Sony - 50%
Nintendo - 30%
Microsoft 20%

Used to be

Sony - 60%
Nintendo - 40%
Microsoft - 0%

(I really, REALLY hated those fanboys for shitting on Sony, even before Sony was able to be shat on)

SEGA fan till i die............... (closely followed by Capcom and Nintendo)
e
Most of the best games on the SEGA Megadrive were made by SEGA's studios themselves. (Sonic, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, etc)

Most of the best games on the SEGA Saturn were made by SEGA's studios themselves. (SEGA Rally Championship: 1995, Fighters Megamix, Nights, Decathlete etc)

Most of the best games on the SEGA Dreamcast were made by SEGA's studios themselves. (Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, Virtua Tennis etc)

same applies to Nintendo of course, but i just connected with SEGA's games that little bit more when growing up.

now...... as for sony, well, i'll dislike them until my passing day, of that there is no question.

I would go in to detail, but obviously this topic has to remain civil, so i'll just point this out............

ALL of the best games on the ps1 were either 2nd or predominantly 3RD PARTY games (can anyone say "moneyhat"?)

Same applies with the ps2.... though to their credit, they did finally have a few 1st party studios.

It was only when the ps3 came out that you can finally argue that most of sony's best games were either 1st or 2nd party......... and even then it's only been the last 2-3 years and a few more studio aquisitions later that helped them reach this point.

In a nutshell, it's SEGA, Capcom and Nintendo all the way for me.

and sony will always be my most loathed corporation.



100% red blooded Nintendo fanboy.

Not gonna bother, bro.  I know your kind.  I could show a 100% clear cut example of you doing so, and you'd find some way to wriggle out of it.  "This isn't a console war thread" or "I was joking" or something. Toooootally not worth my time digging up examples, mate. 

On another note, man, I am SUCH a nintendo Fanboy!  At least I used to be till these last few years.  N64 pales in comparison to PS1?  no problem.  Gamcube Tanks and is the worst selling Nintendo console of all time?  No worries, the Gamecube has some of the best games EVER BRO!  (seriously, smash brothers and Wind Waker alone are two of those games that will forever be etched in my mind as all time greats.)  Wii comes along and is gimmicky?  dude, that's not a negative, that's opening a whole WORLD of opportunity!"  at one point I even declared my Wii the best console of allt ime, and my personal favorite beating out my previous two favorites the SNES and the PS2.  Why?  Motion control was rad and novel, I loved the pure potential that system had, and the virtual console...oh god the virtual console was a gift from Miyamoto himself!  

then....it all just kinda stopped.  the Wii stopped getting games that interested me.  the support for the Virtual console headed off a cliff.  We've got some great games since the Wii died, like Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and NEw Super Mario Brothers Wii, but they really dropped the ball with some major releases, most notably Metroid Other M and Zelda Skyward Sword.  I know a lot of people loved Skyward Sword, and I'm not gonna argue (that one truly is a matter of taste and while I have my reasons for hating it I'm certainly not gonna hate you if you like it), but that was such a cheap zelda game, almost an insult to the series in my eyes.  Went from being a sprawling adventure RPG to a linear series of fetch quests and motion gimmicks.  I thought I'd like motion when the Wii came out....I don't.  I'm so sick of the random stickwaggling and balancing acts.  I really felt the Wiimote had potential, now it's just old, tired, annoying, and a complete shock to the system when you're playing a game and you have to jerk your hand to the side to kill something.  

The WiiU is worse.  I do not like it, and knowing it jsut uses Wiimotes for the most part is basically an arrow to the heart for me.  GREAT for anyone new to the Nintendo family, or people who actually LOVE the Wii's controllers, but for people who want Nintendo to 'innovate' some more or maybe offer something more suited to people who prefer games over activities, we're Shit outta luck.  

Nintendo, I'm ready to be tagged back in the second you start caring about me again, and I'm eager to rejoin the family, but right now we're gonna have to go our seperate ways. 

Still love the 3DS though.

What the fuck?? You must be confusing me with someone else....I've never been accused of being a fanboy before...because I'm not. You can't just throw around baseless accusations like that without having anything to back it up. I'm not even sure what your calling me a fanboy of...Sony? Microsoft? Nintendo? I own consoles from all three...I'm baffled.

I think you might be delusional. I've SEEN people accuse you of being a fanboy just in this past week.  

Not gonna argue though.

Ugh...I don't have time for this. Stop throwing baseless accusations, that's all I'm saying.

dude, I'm not throwing baseless accusations, it's you who's getting angry and defensive.  Come on, this is supposed to be FUN, this is supposed to be about expressing yourself and letting your inner fanboy show, not getting uppity about it.  

You're an Xbox Fanboy, I see it all the time.  Embrace it dude, have fun with it!  I've seen your sony hate, I've seen your posts about how Halo is the bestest game EVAR, I've seen your defense of a 60 dollar a year subscription.  Embrace it, enjoy it, tell us WHY you like that!  I want to know what kind of a fanboy you consider yourself!  

But then you had to go ruin it by saying you're not :P
