Fanboys

Ah yes, fanboys.  A topic mentioned too much at this time.  The time when two next gen systems come out, competing with eachother for dominance when one system already is a mile ahead in the race.  Well what are these systems really? 

The 360 has been out for a year and carrying a reasonable price tag, its been doing fairly well in sales.  It has a decent library at the moment, the best game being Gears of War (or so I hear) at the moment, but its upcoming game line up makes it a system to watch out for. 

The PS3 is releasing tonight!  Holding the top spot of highest price tag, many people doubt that the system is worth it.  It carries a Blu-Ray drive and has the Sixaxis controller.  The launch line-up for the game doesn't look too good, Resistance being the lead of the pack, but future games like MGS4 and FFXIII make this system one to consider buying.

The WII boasts the cheapest price tag of all the systems.  The system is capable of motion sensitivity, and it has the Virtual Console.  A good launch title, Twilight Princess, on its own could be enough reason to buy the system.  Other titles like SSBB and MP3 are other reasons to get the system. 

So what have we learned?  We have learned that there is no point to fanboys.  How did we learn this you ask?  Well, what makes a system great?  It isn't the graphics or the innovation, while those may influence greatness, neither of those is the reason.  The reason is the games make a system great.  How can you bash a system when it has good games, and how can you bash good games when its on another system?  It makes no sense if you ask me. 

And another thing, when people mock fanboys when saying "bu-bu-but teh blu-cel!" or some stupid crap like that, it really is annoying.  I think the people that mock the fanboys say those things more than the actual fanboys do nowadays.  Forums and what-not have turned into anti-intellecual fights which, if the people fighting were to meet in real life woud probably not know what to say and wouldn't have the guts to say anything  at all.  Forums have turned into dumbass fights...and that whole thing was ranting because I'm sure none of it made much sense.
