Throughout the console generations, there's always been debate amongst gamers about which system is better than the other. However, this console generation has gotten completely out of hand between the PS3 vs Xbox 360 vs Wii. Find out one of our staff member's thoughts on the whole debate!
Agreed, during this console generation why would people willingly choose to limit themselves to one console? I prefer trolls myself.
Edit @DA_SHREDDER: Well it's hard to argue with someone's personal opinion, especially when they have 3 of the same console in their home. But why do you as a "fanboy" need to convince others the PS3 is the superior choice if you are happy with your purchase? Other people have opinions too you know.
Good article. I didn't know about the death and bomb threats lol.
I disagree about that there are more fanboys for Xbox360 or PS3 more than Nintendo though. I think Nintendo has just as much as the other consoles.
I also think another thing that causes this is lies and bias against a console and its games from the media, this gen especially.
Nothing you say will ever change anything. Kids will be kids. There's no need to stress over it, it's really not that big of a deal. Someone else's immature rants should not affect you at all.
Fanboyism typically is triggered by economic and financial restraints. When a person is stuck with only one console because they simple can't afford others, they subconsciously try to sabotage the competition so that their choice - the one they're stuck with - ends up the successful one meaning more games and more options for them.
It's funny how people are trying to be all poignant and talk about the deep roots of "fanboyism", when "fanboys" are just being trolls on the net or are kids.
