Check this out about Sony Fanboys!

I guarentee you that a very very small percentage of Playstation fans turned that way because of the PS3. Almost all were loyal to the playstation brand because of psx1 and 2. 3 of course is living in the shadows of the previous ones.

I see alot of new Microsoft fans because of the 360 (I turned one) and I know plenty of others who neveer owned an xbox but love the 360.

Wii has also turned me into a NIntendo fan again after a hiatus (hated the n64 and barely liked the gamecube but loved the nes and snes). Seeing the shocking sales numbers of Wii's sold so far, it does look like Nintendo has picked up a lot of fans and even non-gamers. (my girlfriend is one of them)

The ps3 offers little more then a blu-ray player. It's a wanna-be pc, with a linux os and gives you about as much options as your standard ipod. Sure you can watch blu-ray movies but very few of us really care. I don't agree that the space of a blu-ray disk is needed in the gaming buisness at this time.

Well I did support sony and now i own a 360. It started out like this, I liked PS2 the most, infact I couldn't be arsed trying the other two, because as far as I was concerned, the Xbox and Gamecube just sucked. They did, because of issues with games, and all the fanboys did was complain about ps2 hardware. Though cows didn't do themselves much justice, they had reason to be like that - they were winning, owning a ps2 meant freedom of choice because of how many games, and quality games were available. The Xbox has a few quality games here and there, but not enough, and not enough games overall. The Gamecube just didn't have 3rd party support, and Im not going to buy one for Zelda or Metroid or something.

The PS2 is so strong it is still getting support, years after the other two consoles have dropped out, and people are hastily whining about how the ps3 isn't doing its fans any favours, and its flopped. Sony has always been long term, unfortunately thats not going to work this gen. Give the ps3 time and it will achieve at least 2nd place, I can guarentee you that, It hasn't even launched in all 3 of the major regions yet. Im still not going to buy one, its just not wise atm, but you can't deny that the 360 is rejected in Japan, and the Wii seems a little bit of a toy, with only minigames and lackluster ports of decent games.

So the ps3 was a bad move imo, thats why I got a 360, but the first Xbox just sucks arse. The 360 is pretty much the best choice atm. It wont win this generation though.
