I know you have heard this term many of times. I have seen it in many post that started out pretty tame then comes the fanboy comments that heats everything up.
According to Wikipedia Fanboy or Fanboi is a term used to describe an individual (usually male, though the feminine version fangirl may be used for females) who is utterly devoted to a single fannish subject, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal to their particular obsession, disregarding any factors that differ from their point of view. Fanboys are also stereotypically aggressive and hateful towards the opposing brand or competition of their obsession regardless of its merits or achievements.
I have to say that they have hit the nail in the coffin with that. They are many fanboys out there. Why is one system better than the other. With everything in life they are pros and cons. Some people perfer a Chevy Blazer others perfer a Lexus GX470. When you go on car message boards you do not see the foul language and total lack of respect about which car is better.
Why is it that this happen only when it comes to gaming. Why are we as gamers so quick to belittle,anger,contradict,and over hype? I do not know and I think I will never know. If you are a gamer you should be happy that you have a great deal of options out there to satified your gaming needs. If you like online game play and do not want to spend a easy grand on a decent computer you can get a Microsoft XBOX 360, If you are still trapped with the eight year old in you an want to relive to good old days you can get a Nintendo Wii, or if you have cash to burn for a pretty black box that has more horse power that a toyota prius that can cure the world diseases you can get a PS3.
Bottom Line: Be happy and play games if it is in your world, thier world, or mine let have some respect to some else opinion even if it is something that you did not want to hear. That why they are opinions. Opinions are to be have and can be debated in a classly and repectable way.
For all you fanboys out there can we all just get along.
