Those of you who grew up playing video games probably know what system you played on as a child, cows, you probably spent your most meaningful and memorable times playing on playstation platforms.
Sheep, you probably spent your days as lambs playing Baa-aa-aario. J/K
You just want to relive your childhood days, and remember the good times you had as a kid when you played on your specific platforms is all.
There may be a few who have different reasons, but really the one I mentioned is the only really good one, you just don't want to lose any childhood memories, so you root for the console maker who gave you the memories. There's nothing wrong with that.

Good. You've taken the first step into a larger world. Now dump the Ps brand and take up your manhood with the 360.

I remember when the PSX was coming out, I was nay saying the machine with other gamers I knew. Said stupid crap like, "it won't compare to Sega and Nintendo".
Shortly there after FF64 was canned, and FFVII was announced. It was then that I stopped being a fanboy.
i started on NES and now i'm pretty much just PS now. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, might be the only reason i will get a Wii, but i still don't know for sure.
Thats completely incorrect; people are fanboys because they wish to justify their purchase, and their reasoning for such a purchase, to others by degrading the quality of rival systems and by exaggerating the qualities of their own. PS3 vs Wii is a classic example. If my friend buys a ps3 he will, to his dying breath, do everything he can to degrade me and my wii, and nintendo, so as to justify his outlandish purchase. Facts like how the Wii is cheaper, significantly, provides far more interactive gameplay experiences and has generally better games (mostly because of the new interactive method of control) compel the ps3 owner to degrade the system by postulating the opposite of those facts as being true and superior. But thats just one example. People just dont want to admit that they made a mistake and regret their purchasing decision so they attack and beat down other systems to make themselves feel better. Its their "will to power" for those fans of philosophy (meaning nobody here and a significantly small percentage of consumers) and thats how they achieve a very small amount of satisfaction in their lives. Its not that people grew up with one system or another; gamers like games.....no matter what system they are on. Im a gamer; i want to play Super mario galaxy on wii, i want to play ghost recon 2 on 360 and i want to play motorstorm on PS3 because i like experiencing games and what gameplay they have to offer.....no matter what the system.
Fanboys are basically casual gamers. Only a casual gamer would blow off other legitimate platforms in order to stay loyal to a single one. This is especially true of those who choose a platform with the fewest games and the longest game droughts. The PS3 is a game wasteland at the moment. Only a casual gamer would be satisfied with that.

I already have one. Accept that it's better than the PS3 and your manhood will follow.
The original poster's statement is somewhat true when it comes to me. My first console was the Nintendo and I refused to buy a lot of systems. I bought Sega Genesis because I couldn't resist Sonic the Hedgehog. But, Sonic had nothing on Mario as a platformer. Because of nintendo fanboyism I refused to buy a Saturn, Playstation, or a Dreamcast. I missed out on a lot of good games because of that. My brother bought a Dremcast. So therefore I was lucky enough to play Skies of Arcadia and Grandia II. Becaues of this I was no longer a Nintendo fanboy. You can't be a fanboy if you really want to enjoy a lot of different games. I learned my lesson. If you're gonna be a fanboy, you're gonna miss out on a lot of games.
People are attached to what they recieve pleasure from. People will defend what they recieve pleasure from.
I will bet you anything any "fanboy" will change sides or perspectives if they get any attachment from another system.
Personally, I do not own a Wii nor a PS3. I am more likely to defend my 360, but I have played the Wii, and enjoyed it, so I wont talk trash about it. The PS3, however, I've only experienced a very small amount of time with it -- so I may be likely to nod my head at a few Sony articles, but I don't like being one-sided and close-minded, so I'll defend it when necessary.
