fanboyism

For some reason, the Console Wars have really brought out some militant fanboyism. And if I had to put myself into a category, I'd definitely be an xbox fanboy. But what is it about the consoles that drive us into this? Why is there so much hostility here? And how are Playstation fans any different from Wii and Xbox fans?

I know there's a big .. HUGE misconception out there about Wii fans. I mean, the Wii is just for kids and grandmas, right? Well, I suppose with all the crap out there on the wii, this is true in SOME cases. Then again, what use is the Arcade console, if not to cater to this exact same demographic? There are some amazing games on the Wii, including some that are incredibly violent and gory. Personally, I have a slight drunken addiction to Deal or No Deal on the Wii, and its graphics are worse than Gamecube graphics!

I don't know where I was going with this. I just wanted to spark discussion, even though that spark will be slightly dim, given that its just us posters here. Also, don't attack me for saying fanboy instead of fanperson. I don't believe in political correctness.
