But on the topic of "fanboy", I found ironic that the definition was given boundaries of video game consoles. Honestly, I see fanboy comments on occasion for the different consoles but most hardcore gamers are likely using multiple systems and therefore don't carry such a strong bias on one platform or the other. However, the area that I see by far the most frequent posts are Apple vs. MS (especially on Digg and the gadget blogs). And of course, who could forget Chevy vs. Ford (although those fanboys may have merged under the mafiosos of each clan to protect themselves from the Japanese). Hell, they even came up with the "Bad Boy" of fanboys! A good read. But on the topic of “fanboy”, I found ironic that the definition was given boundaries of video game consoles.
