So PC fanboys are hermits, Playstation fanboys are cows, Xbox fanboys are lemmings, and Nintendo fanboys are sheep; that got me thinking, what do you think would be a good nickname for Sega fanboys if Sega was still making consoles?

Legends, lets face it Sony & MS first party games couldn't hold a candle to Sega's, the only one that was close was Nintendo, but even then Sega did what Nintedon't :)
I'd rather see ex Sega gamers go to anyone but Sony.
@nyadc: Sega was a Hell of lot better than Microsoft when it comes to making games. I'd much rather have them still in the hardware business.
Perfection.
Who wouldn't want to stan for one of the most innovative entertainment companies in history?
Sega fanboys are now lemmings.
No
Nonetheless SEGA was one of the most innovative gaming companies and it's a shame they didn't sell enough consoles to continue. True genius is never recognized in it's own time.
Whatever it would be I am one, Sega used to be such a great visionary in the industry even if their crackpot ideas led to them failing.
That's a good one...
Crackpots
...That's what Sega was all about: A bunch of crackpots pushing boundaries and experimenting with all kinds of crazy visionary ideas.
@Jag85: What exactly did Sony do to Sega other than kick their ass in sales?
Before PS2 launched Sony falsely proclaimed the PS2 to be 20X more powerful than the Dreamcast.
What actually happened was the PS2 had less RAM than DC and worse image quality resulting in multiplats looking worse on PS2 than on DC. By then it didn't matter because the damage was already done by Sony as DC sales plummeted right after that.
@EG101: Also they have huge momentum on their side because of the PS1. Dreamcast was DOA, and Sega was on their last legs as a console maker.
In the end, when you're dealing with Gran Turismo 3, Ico and godly third party support, it didn't really matter how much powerful the PS2 was over the Dreamcast.
@EG101: "Before PS2 launched Sony falsely proclaimed the PS2 to be 20X more powerful than the Dreamcast."
I searched and found nothing to support this, do you have a credible link by any chance?

Sony did the same thing with the PS1 and Saturn. They claimed the PS1 was 5 times more powerful than the Saturn, when in reality the Saturn was slightly more powerful than the PS1. But the media ate up Sony's propaganda.
Sony did it again with the PS2, claiming it to be 20 times more powerful than the Dreamcast, when in reality it was barely more capable than the Dreamcast (and lacked many of its features). And the media fell for it again, eating up Sony's propaganda.
@Jag85: I was a Sega kid and now I am a cow. But I also have wii U and soon Xbone.
I think most of us from that time are grown up men now so we dont hold grudge :P
I think most former Sega fans became multi-plat users, if anything.
Sega fanboys are now lemmings.
Not necessarily. Some became Lemmings, some became Sheep, and some became Hermits... but few became Cows (because of what Sony did to Sega).
I starting buying all the consoles since SEGA put different games on all of the consoles. Manticores.
