I've never understood this system wars stuff. When it all boils down, i like to play games. I havea PC/Wii/PS3/DS right now. I use my Wii the most, but that doesnt mean i think my Wii is better then someone's xbox360. ilike mario just as much as uncharted2, but i cant play both on the same console. its justsad that people are so negitive towards systems they dont have, its almost as if they are jealous that someone else can play a game they cant.people miss out on tons of good games because they over look it for whatever reason. All consoles have things going for them but only fanboys feel the need to trash other systems/games.

People you might think are fanboys might just be stirring things up for the sake of this being a "war"

I'd say I'm a gamer and not a fanboy.

It is one thing to be passionate/fan of something, but it is completely another when one is absolutely rabid over something that the individual becomes ignorant over facts and being aggressive in their tone. I personally tend to associate fanboys with the latter description, because I find the term 'boy' in 'fanboy' represents immaturity, now being a 'fan' on the other hand, I have no problem with that term.

Please tell me I am not the only person who sees the two words this way....

I own a PC, X360 and a Ps3 - but don't really prefer either. I'm playing my Ps3 more though, because it's my most recent system so I've more games to complete.

I am a fanboy of certain games though, particularly the Unreal Tournament series.

im not saying there is nothing wrong with being a fan of something. nothing wrong with being obsessed with it(nintendo guy is walking a fine line). but there is everything wrong with people thinking that the desision they made on something is right and everyone else is wrong. thats is what most fanboys cry... i dont play nintendo because it is kiddie, but my xbox360 is the best console ever and all i do is play halo and COD(this is just an example, probably the most common comment we all hear)

Nah, not a fanboy, though I do prefer the DS version of most games to other versions, even console versions of games. Just really like the DS. But I tend to own multiple generation-current systems with one console or handheld as the main system while still getting in play time for the others. Kinda always been that way. One system is like the main system while the other systems just offer the games you can't get on the preferred system. I tend to spend a lot more money on games though than systems, so buying another system for me really isn't a big deal. It'll only set me back one month's worth of new games, so it's usually a fair tradeoff for owning a new system. Got all this gen's systems except 360. Not sure when I'm going to get one. Kinda holding out to see if Microsoft announces a new console.

I respect all gaming systems and the people who use them. Except for the Wii, I think it's stupid and should die.

And yes, I do own one.

I consider myself a Fanboy for Nintendo I will continue to buy their systems as long as they continue to make games I like.

That said I'm not a closed-minded fanboy I play and like other systems I'm currently own a PS3, PC, Wii, and DSi. I used to have a 360 this gen.

I own a gaming PC and at one point owned all of the current consoles (including PSP and DS) I no longer have the Wii or the handhelds, but I don't have a problem with any of the systems.I'm not interested in labels though, I know where I stand. I follow the games.

Bias is a natural aspect of the human condition. Maturity and wisdom is what defines the difference between those consumed by their biases and those who can move beyond them to see the greater picture.

I'm the same way. I try really hard to not contribute to the myth that cows are super ignorant fools. Once in a small while though my inner-cow comes out... :twisted:

I'm not a fanboy, but there's definitely a hierarchy. PC on top, with 360/PS3/Wii sharing equal footing. In my opinion its not even fair to compare PC to consoles most of the time. The only thing that is truly debatable are games; both formats have their strengths and weaknesses in this area.

Except that fanboyism, or bias to simplify, is NOT the same as preference. There's a world of difference. Preference is simply a choice, bias is driven by irrational motives.

I play PS3, 360, Wii, PC, and DS games. haven't picked up a PSP this gen and kind of don't feel the need to, but I try to be as unbiased as possible :X I love my shmups only available on 360 and I love games such as demon's souls and yakuza 3 on my ps3. Wii has some of my favorite games this gen as well from muramasa, to sin and punishment, to no more heroes.

Agreed. I prefer to play games on my PS3 as far as console games go, but I would never choose an inferior version (such as RDR) or try to defend one just for the sake of doing so. Besides, I didn't go out and buy all three consoles because I hate two of them.

Unlike some of those people who voted in the polls.... My favorite console is the 360 and I'll play anything, but I have a bias for Nintendo because I love their games :)
