WARNING: Sony fanboy spotted

So, at my school, we have a Sony fanboy. He thinks that DS's are gay and anyone who has one is, also. He has a PSP and always talks about how the graphics are superior to everything. Back when both the NGP and 3DS were announced, he said that NGP is better, even though he is clueless to the specs. I also told him about the rear touchpad and said that it was awesome. He also says that the DS had a ton of revisions, and when I brought up the multiple PSP revisions, he said that it actually improved more stuff.

More on this later as I have to go somewhere.

Comments

According to his theory, 2/3 of handheld console owners are gay. Just bring up this simple fact.

As far as the changes in PSP revisions are concerned, the only things that changed were the displays, a RAM increase, removal of the IR port, adding the Video port and minor re-touching.

The DS recieved a complete overhaul when the DSi hit the market, getting camera's, a new CPU, more RAM, an entirely different OS, a built-in internet browser and loads of other "stuff" you probably already know of.

In essence - he's wrong. I could write an essay about how much he's wrong. It's always bad to be a fanboy.
 
There are actually more models of the PSP than the DS, and each one barely added anything.

He is just ignorant. When he mentions graphics, tell him graphics are nothing without games.
 
I'm a Sony fanboy too. But I'm not going to get in anybody's face about it. I'm also a Nintendo fanboy and I'm laid back about that as well. I guess I'd rather be playing games or whatever else is associated with the hobby rather than flaming about brand allegiance.

That means I'm just a video game fanboy -- I can live with that.
 
Welcome to life, that little place where 85% of the people say Nintendo makes games for little girls and think the game with the best graphics is clearly the best game.
 
Lol when the Go came out, he must have been

"HOLY SHIT WAVE OF THE FUTURE IN GAMING"

what a dipshit. Even I can recognize bad choices in design when I see it.

If it wasn't for the Go being hacked, it would be useless.

EDIT: For the record I got a Go recently and LOVE it now. <3

Most(not all) fanboys are only that because they can't afford to buy the other handhelds or consoles.
 
I knew quite a few like those at my high school. He's a fanboy. What're you going to do? Both sales and game quality prove the DS, legitly, is better. It was marketed better, and had a better price. And better games. And guess what, it DID SOMETHING NEW.
 
I'm a Nintendo Fanboy, and I have but one simple argument;

3D, no glasses. 'Nuff Said.

I can take the onslaught of laughter at school about being obsessed with my DS, but at least I'm proud about it :) Every school has there fanboys. I however, am the major fanboy at my school. Pure PC, no mac. Nintendo Rules, said and done.
 
This sounds like a case of a number of people who need to grow the fuck up.

Fanboys are idiots. In general People with brand loyalty are idiots.

DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL = 4
Revisions: One major overhaul of the system which was never really fully utilized, most games still used the standard DS mode + re-touching.

PSP-100x, PSP-200x, PSP-300x, PSP GO = 4
Revisions: Different displays, removal of the IR port in post-100x PSP's, added Video-out in PSP-200x, RAM increase from 32 to 64 in post-100x PSP's, removal of the UMD port in GO, added internal memory, added slider controls in GO + re-touching.

Hum...

You can't say they they didn't add much now, can you?
 
Pretty common in my school. People presume that the DS is for kids because all they see is Nintendogs and other games like the Imagine.. series. And since the 3DS has "DS" in it is automatically labeled a "kiddy" device.

Indeed. Pledging allegiance to any real brand just make you a blind consumer sheep. And that's how companies ride you into the ground for every penny you have, because they know you'll buy their shit.

i feel the same way brother
 
It makes my head explode when I see the sheer amount of fanboyism in this thread.

You're all basically putting down Sony and praising Nintendo.
