If only more people were like Phil.

I am pretty sure most people are not even aware there is a  "FANBOY WAR."



Surgeon General of the US says it's healthy for the metabolism and brain function, who's Phil Spencer to say otherwise?



Unhealthy dislike? Unhealthy for whom?



That problem would be solved easily if you remove the ability to own a console from those fanboys, they should try some sort of right management program like CRM Console Right Management



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Ehh more like he wish he had the vast majority on his side.

Its easy to cry lets play nice when your getting ja ass stomped, or did he forget the hate MS was pushing towards sony and PS3 last gen.



We wouldnt if MS didnt have unhealthy anti-consumer policies.

You mean HAD.


if you mean the DRM, that was overturned because of us 'fanboys' having an 'unhealthy dislike'.

But they still have bullshit policies like their parity clause.

I think any gamer who visits gaming sites, even ocassionally, is well aware of the fanboy wars. Some people have compared the current war to the war between Sega and Nintendo in the 90's, but this war is far worse due to the internet. 

The internet has made a cesspoll of debauchery and villianry.

Though I really doubt a randomly sampled survey would show much knowledge of this war. We need blood in the streets for real street cred.
