While I only own a PS3, I frequently play 360 and Wii, and occasionally PC as well.

I'd like to emphasize the distinction between fan and fanboy. A fanboy is biased towards one platform and against others. On the other hand, a fan may prefer a certain platform but is open to gaming on other platforms as well and appreciates a good game regardless of the platform.

After explaining that, I hope I can safely say that I'm a PS3 fan. :P

Now let's see the population of fanboys vs. fans here on SW.

Manticore, I have all systems and each gets its time in the light, and each for different reasons.

Though if there were a great war where I was forced to choose, I would go to my first home, Nintendo.

If this were 2006, I would vote Lemming since the 360 was the only system I had. But I grew to like the other systems sadly in 2009, yeah, blame me, so I choose Manticore.

Plus this is SW,wheres the fun,and more importantly,whats the point of pretending that you like all consoles equally just so it makes look like a "trruegamer"( Whatever the hell that is).For those people the general games discussion is thataway...

I don't get these people who pretend that all consoles are equal in thier eyes.Everbody,and I mean everbody has a bias towards one particular console.

everyone has a bias but some people are no where near as biased as alot of posters on this board. for example i really like the ds and the wii but i dont praise the hell out of nintendo nor do i for any of the companies. all my consoles are pretty much equal pieces of plastic.

I own a 360, Wii and PSP as well as my PC, doesn't stop me having major hermit leanings. Just because you own a system doesn't make you a fanboy or stop you being one. I hate the "I own a 360 so not biased against it" type of post (works for any other faction).

There are quite a few these days with pretty limited bias, but lots of people that hide behind the term manticore when they have incredibly slanted opinions. You know who you are!

Fanboys are incapable of giving credit where its due, and cannot justify hate of a game beyond it being on "an enemy" platform.

I don't really like Nintendo's approach this gen. I have a Wii but I don't play it. I don't have a PS3 but would play it if I did. I do about 99 percent of this gens gaming on a 360 so I'd say I'm a 360 fan.

im preferential towards sony but i can admit all platforms have some good games (i might not personally like them, but that doesn't make them bad games) i grew up on NES/SNES and when sony hit i switched over after nintendo started struggling with the N64. for nintendo i like their flagship franchises even still (nsmb wii was fun as are the zelda games) and sony for the more "mature" (ie blood guts cussing and violence) titles. i don't have an xbox, well mainly because i don't like microsoft in general but even at that i can admit there are surely good games on it (just because i don't like halo doesn't mean i'm the status quo) and even at that if Rare was to make a new KI game i could be convinced to get a 360 on that alone.

Probably a manticore with a slight lean towards the 360. Definitely a fan not a fanboy. All the systems are good, and all of them have their problems.

I was a lion transformed to a lemming then became a cow, now Im a retired veteran cow, I let my children to be attack force here in SW a long time ago

and most of them failed, Im thinking of going back to my roots.

I mean how could you not point out how weak it is to go behind PC to justify your inferior console ?

There are honestly very few manticores here. Many of us just pretend. I like my 360 better then the my Wii but sometimes I can be pretty biased in favor of the Wii so Im kind of like a mantisheep.

Pretty sure I would be classified as a manticore. I already own a PC, Wii and PS3. I have nothing against the 360, I'm just very behind on games at the moment, so I figure I'll hold off for now and see if there is a price drop next year. If so, then I'll nab one.

I don't have more allegiance to any one console in particular. I personally want to see them all succeed and continue to provide quality games.

I guess I would say manticore.. I love my PS3(mainly because of Demon's Souls), my 360 is okay... haven't had any good exclusives for it in a while, and I use my PC for multiplats and the exclusives of course so I use my PC the most.

Moooo! However, I got a 360 this weekend to sit next to my PS3, currently playing Gears of War!
