i Say most of the people here love Xbox 360's, although i could be wrong.

Edit: This is about Nintendo Fanboys.

The people who love the Xbox360 here aren't (for the most part) fanboys, they are people who are enjoying an extremely good console.

Quoted for truth.

Any why is that?

It' simply because the 360 is the newest console out and offers (generally) the best gaming experience at the moment.

As soon as the PS3 or Revolution hit the market, you will see the exact same thing happen on here for those consoles too.

ATi vs Nvidia
Intel vs AMD

Fanboyism is all over!

Aye i think its pretty unfair to label us all xbox fanboys because we bought the console. In which case that makes me a fairy-liquid fanboy, FHM fanboy, Uncle Bens fanboy. I just buy whats good at the time and what i think is reasonable for my money.

I thought that was a pretty funny read.

I may even consider giving fanboism up . . . . . then again . . . .

There are a large number of DS fans (and 1 StarCraft fanatic) too.

Exactly, theres less PS3 and Rev talk because the 360 is actually here. Talking about the other two is just talk about promises, rumours and specs lists. When the other two are released it will all balance out.

The problem I find, is that the second you say you like one thing over anyother, people say you are a fanboy. As a result it is fashionable to dislike everything amongst the hard core crowd.

That article makes some good points but it seems a bit hypocritical. The guy who wrote it sounds like an anti-nintendo fanboy.

Yea, like an irrational Apple-hateboy rather than a Windows-fanboy
