I own a PS2, a PSP, a PC and an N64. I recently wrote a post predicting the future of the next gen system war. It turned out my analysis was not favourable of the PS3. I was labelled a 'fanboy'. If for some reason you hold something against one particular console, does that make you a fanboy even though you have no particular allegence to another system? Should we coin a new term 'anti-fanboy'. To be honest I'm not even a PS3 'anti-fanboy' but people will disagree for sure!
It wasn't that you were against the PS3... it was what you posted about the PS3. You had tons of verbal slaps in the face that were clearly made up or grasping at straws.
People will call you a fanboy if you're realistic about their console of choice. 360 - charging for online is not a "necessary" standard. MS just wants your money. Wii - Graphics aren't HD, and never will be. PS3 - Format shoving and price are crap. And they need games. Any one of those can get you called a hermit, lemming, sheep, or just fanboy. Or graphics whore. It's just how it is.
I called you a fanboy becuse you were talking about the ps3 and you were act like the 360 is the supreme system.nivet14
but you are wrong! Why call someone something when you don't actually know. I promise you I'll buy system B if I can afford system B and it has games I want to play on it. If in 6 months when I come to buy a next gen console system B and it happens to be a PS3, trust me, I will buy it regardless of the name!

'slaps in the face'? I think you are taking this way too personally!

It wasn't a slap in the face at me... it was at the PS3 and Sony.

but you are wrong! Why call someone something when you don't actually know. I promise you I'll buy system A if I can afford system A and it has games I want to play on it. If in 6 months when I come to buy a next gen console system A is the PS3, trust me, I will buy it!
You just bashed the friggin system :| Your reasons for why ps3 won't be a success although maybe valid but the way you presented them made you look like a fanboy.
I'm saying forget the name. Provide me with the facts and I'll write the same post about console A or whatever.. I'm trying to tell you that Sony, MS, Nintendo, PS3, 360, wii the names had no effect on my post and will have no part in my decision over what console to buy. Can I reasonably be called a 'fanboy' if this is correct?

Ok so back to this thread. If I bash one system, the PS3 in this case. What am I a fanboy of?

I've been called a lemming for saying that the PS3 is too expensive :lol:. I'm not a fanboy, I buy every console I can and enjoy them all. There is one exception however, I bought an N-gage, and I have to say its the first time I've ever sold one of my consoles before. It was really poor

Yep, If you perfer a system over another you a fanboy. It's that cut and dry.100% people here are fanboys, 95% claims not to be one.shungokustasu
I don't mind fanboys - that's why we're at SW. But I agree with you on that point - I hate people that claim they aren't. Everyone has their biases - overt or not.

Fanboys arn't necessarily fanboys of anything... the definition basically has evolved to include haters of a paticular system. It's wierd... but it holds true... specially here on System Wars.

I honestly am not a fanboy, I just enjoy the games. I find something annoying about each console, but I really do enjoy them all the same.

You a fanboy because you like a system over another. You not hearing what I'm saying. Fanboy is not a bad thing. Radical Fanboys are. It's like the muslim religion. Muslim are not bad it's the radical muslim that are.
