Think about it you only need to buy one console, you will enjoy it and think that it outshines everything else no matter once, you won't be dissapointed if a game flops because your intense fanboyism will make you enjoy it. It sorta like the saying ignorance is bliss.

Nah having all the systems is the way to go unless one is very casual or has no time or money for them.

Buying whatever system you can afford and will get the most enjoyment out of is the best way to go. And if another system has a game you want to play? Well if you're any kind of gamer i'm sure you'll find a way to play it.

Console fanboyism is always detrimental, because you miss out on so many exclusive titles, and in the case of Microsoft-fanboyism, isolate yourself from portable gaming. The strongest "platform" that can be argued for fanboyism of is the PC. Since the PC can encompass both portable and desktop gaming, has more AA+ rated exclusives than all three consoles *combined*, supports a vast array of control inputs and A/V outputs, and has a vast feature set, it is the only platform that can fully satisfy most of a gamer's needs. - However, even the Hermit is at a disadvantage to platform agnostics. Agnostics get access to dozens of exclusives that Hermits will never get to touch, a vast library of Japanese titles on the DS and PSP, a broader community encompassing both console and PC gamers, and the ability to always try new gadgets, even if those gadgets are on a console. - If even the *best possible platform*, a platform that has existed for 30+ years, cannot do it all, what chance does a 3 year old console have of replacing everything out there? Pretty much zilch - if you only game on one platform, you lose out, and all the denial in the world doesn't change that you're isolating yourself from other people, games, and experiences by being a fanboy.

I like being able to look forward to anything I want, instead of being mad about the other console getting it exclusively.

Owning one console means you are a fanboy? I'd love to have a PS3 but when most of the big name games are multiplat, I just can't see myself spending over 400 dollars for a new machine.

'Ignorance is bliss' is really the turn of phrase you're looking for.

You don't need to be a fanboy to own just one console and feel completely fulfilled in your gaming. Why is it that people aren't happy unless they are convinced they have the absolute best there is when it comes to gaming? Isn't very good good enough?

I cant live with just one platform I need a Gaming PC, A playstation# and a handheld. The only console I realized I have absolutely no need of is the Xbox360. Im happy with the platforms I own but sticking religiously to just one is silly.

Yet you miss out on a butt load of classic games due to being so blinded by your fanboyism and loyalty to one system/company. Is that a chance you're willing to take?

I'm not the type of person who plays a game for 2 weeks then moves on too the next, i stick with the one game for month, even years.

Ignorance actually is bliss (a LOT of people unconsciously know this), but if fanboys see games on other systems that are scoring well they just turn angry, and last I checked that not bliss, but being a fanboy would be a lot of fun.

I used to be a hardcore fanboy.. i have'nt posted here in about a year or more, so, this is my new user name. Dont ask me what my old name was cause, i wont tell ya.. i'm pretty ashamed by it. Well, Ive decided that im gonna buy a PS3!!! :shock:& im pretty excited over it! cant wait to crack into some great PS3 exclusives, PSN & make good use of that blu-ray player! so, my advise to other fanboys is.. stop the hate & enjoy the games cause, in the end, your only hurting yourself!!! & btw.. the wife & i talked about it.. & we're buying a Wii for the family come Christmas so, ill have all 3 consoles + my gaming PC! no shortage of games to play, thats for sure. :)

I understand where you're coming from. If I had just one system, I could still have plenty of games to play. Unfortunately, I need to have multiple systems to play everything I want to play, and that's what I would prefer to do.
