We've all seen it. We all know about them. We might even consider ourselves to be one of these. But they are needed in the consol world.
Fanboys have been aorund since the early creations of video games and consoles alike. When the Oddyssey first came out (which was really the only choice of game consoles) you were either a odyssey fanyboy, or an odyssey fanboy. The next home console wasn't going to come out for another 4-5 years, so therefore there really wasnt much to choose from. But eventually when Pong released in the arcades, ahh then we started to hear those little muffled voices of whinning little squeaky voices. Fanboys.
They come in all shapes and forms. Big ones, small ones. Infact if i continues this list i'd be here forever. But alas a new breed of computer fanatics were born, and still dominate the gaming scene with there terrible opinions and bad typing skills of "M$ pwns all" and "ninty's 4 kids" i mean really if your going to make a statement please write the whole sentece.
Now im not saying that im not one, but atleast when someone posts something incorrect, i correct them with proper english.
Now rivalries wernt really prevalent until the Sega and Nintendo era. Sonic and Mario going head to head, and this is what pushed sales and made the gaming industry into what it is today.Billions and billions are made on games every year, due to the simple fan boy. I think we owe them something, maybe a little whinning back.
