I feel most really don't know the difference between fanboy and fanatic.

-you think about console warz when you're on a date

-You have lucid dreams about your console of choice "destroying" the competition

-You frequent N4G

-you think less of a former exclusive because it's on the enemy console

You spend more time arguing about who has the better games, rather than playing the actual games.

On these forums, it's safer to assume that people are referring to the Wikipedia definition of console generation.

I know you're joking. 

Here's one:

- If you are a member of a video game forum, you most likely have certain fanboy tendencies.

Well, that was easy!

-You lend your ear to Michael Pachter.

Is there a cure for it?

You might be a fanboy if you force yourself to play games exclusive to your favorite system (and even competing systems) that under normal circumstances you wouldn't give a shit about, and downplay the prestige of 3rd party software because it's not exclusive to anything.

You might be a fanboy if you think said platform is the way to go.

You might be a Fanboy if...
you use the influence of casuals on the market to justify your side of the debate involving hardcore gamers.
