I play on all platforms, but i like Sony the most, because of how they treat their fanbase. That's why i sold my soul to them and will always be there servant ;o

Saying that all "Fanboys" are sheep is like saying all Tomatoes are red.

And, no. Being a "Fanboy" really doesn't suck. It's not like Nintendo forces this upon me or anything and it's not like if I were to pick up a DualShock Nintendo would throw lightning at me to kill me for my sins.

they would however send the Ninjas so you be careful now

I just realize something, it must really suck to be a fanboy. Always having to defend a certain console, defend a company even if they screw up big time, and worst of all missing out on the exclusives. Lucky for me, I'm a gamer. Why sell your soul to one company, one console if you can enjoy them all. Though there are people who can't afford all gaming platforms, still doesn't mean you should vow your soul to only one console. Instead of being a sheep to a certain conpany, why not be open minded gamer and choose a game base on your interest instead of a fanboy persuading you. Where's the fun in that.

Go by your own interest.


BRAVO!

That's very true... hopefully they won't notice that my Wii is collecting dust. (And that I still don't own a Wii U.)

There are fanboys for all three companies who act like all that WOULD happen to them, though.

And really, that's my operating definition of a fanboy as opposed to someone who's just a fan; someone who treats their fandom as religious evangelism as opposed to...you know, liking a certain company's games/consoles.

I mainly gravitate towards Sony, but I have no problem criticizing them for their stupid decisions or admitting their fuck-ups (which they had many of this gen).



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

I don't mind being called a "FanBoy" of Nintendo. It's the truth. Does this mean that I can't criticize them? No. (Which I hope is apparent...) Does this mean that I can't play/try other companies games? No. 

I think this term has been spun out of control at some points. Though, you are right that there are some crazy FanBoys.

like the time they got hacked and told it the public days after it actually happened? yeah, they really care a lot.

I usually gravitate more towards sony as of lately. I wouldn't call myself a fanboy that would defend them to the end or anything though. I'm just a fan of them since I feel that they never really let me down with any of there consoles. I also own other products from them that are reliable too, so I guess they have earned a bit of leeway with me. I used to be a big fan of nintendo with there systems like gba sp, n64, and other consoles, but they really let me down with the wii. I'm pretty much indifferent towards them now and there current console does't interest me in the slightest either.Microsoft is fine in my book too, had lots of fun with the xbox 360.
