It's possible cause it's unique to you. Everyone has their own preference, like I am a fan of Sony for their movies. I am a gamer with Nintendo and Microsoft consoles.

I think maybe quite a lot of people is a fan of a Nintendo franchise. For example. A friend of mine calls himself a Nintendo fan, but do not buy ANY Nintendo platforms that doesn't have a brand new F-Zero. Is he rally a Nintendo fan, or is he just an F-Zero fan? Can you be a Mario fan and not a Nintendo fan? I believe you can.

Just look at the number of facebook fans in regards to Nintendo:

Nintendo fans: 2,2 million
Mario fans: 14 million

You should ask Pezus, he's a Nintendo fan but doesn't own either the 3DS or Wii U (idk if he has a Wii or a Gamecube).

Nintendo and PC gamer

Better question: Can you be a Nintendo fan and still be a Nintendo hater?

This is just about Nintendo. So I do not know.

Can you like Nintendo, but not own or play any of Nintendo's stuff.

Sort of like your friend Pezus.

I don't think so. If somebody likes a company's products, they're going to buy those products. If they don't like their products then I don't see why they would be a fan of that company.

What's up with pezus anyway, i aways like to see his post(coffcoffsigcoffcoff), and then he got ride of the PS Nation sig, claim himself a nintendo fan now. He lost any bet?

OT: I'm a nintendo fan, but i just cant afford game on these new consoles, i really dont have money. If i take all my money today and try to pick one up, i will only cover half of the price yet(yes, counting with the price cut). So, the only way o can play nitnendo games now is on my R4 DS or emulation. So, im still saving to stop using piracy, while i play dota 2, a f2p game. For me, its not about time, or preferences, its about money. Gaming is cool, but is not worth any kind of debt.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

I've had just about every Nintendo home console with the exception of the Wii U. I think the Wii U is a great system, but just haven't gotten one yet since the other consoles were coming soon so I wanted to wait for that.
