OK, I must let this insane rage out of me. Why are devoted fanboys so stupid? Why? I have this friend. He loooooves the Xbox. With a passion. But he's an idiot. He does not listen to reason. Unless it means praise for the Xbox of course. We had a very lengthy game debate today. Strike 1: He says his friend opened up his Xbox and replaced the processor with a more up to date one. WHAT?! You can't do that! I tell him. Consoles can't be upgraded! Your stupid dude! he tells me. Microsoft just didn't say you could! You can if you want! What a RETARD!!! Strike 2: EGM is apparantly biased against Xbox. When I told him that Halo 2 had been delayed to the Fall, he got all defensive and said that EGM lied because they hate the Xbox. Uh, right, EGM just blatantly lies for the hell of it. Strike 3: According to him, the Xbox has sold more units than the PS2 and GC COMBINED. Right. I'm just gonna leave this one alone. Well, three strikes. He's out.

Now listen, I'm not pourin' haterade on the Xbox. I admit I do tell him that Xbox sucks, but just to piss him off. I like the big green box. But why is he so stupid?! WHY?! I dont' understand! What is wrong with his brain! And according to him, every Mario, Zelda, and Metroid game sucks. Every time I mention a Sony or Nintendo blockbuster, he just says Halo over and over again. What do I do to shut him up?!

Your only answer is castration.

LMAAAAAO, MY FRIENDS LAST NAME IS CASTRO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That is pretty retarded. I got to be the first to admit I'm not an XBox fan, but I'm also not a Nintendo Fanboy (I definintely used to be, but I then tried other systems) or PS2 fanboy, it just seems to be that most XBox fanboys are just, well retarded.

No disrespect to all the XBox fanboys, it does not pertain to some of you...stress on the some, since it does pertain to others.

Only thing that interests me on the Box is Fable.

Is your friends name space_rover?

negative reinforcement works. every thime he says x-box, halo or anyhting else for that mater, zap im w/ 50,000 volts. hell, do it just for fun. it seems to me that x-box fans arer the most irratinal out there. maybe its some form of penis envy, making up for what they dont have. they say the x-box is the best, because they know its not and theyre insecure in that fact. most can only mention halo, because it is known to be a good game. but all fanboys suck. if they had the money, they would own all three. i do

Well, I don't want to hate on PS2 fanboys. But, I'm serious when I say this, through and through, when it comes to console debates, PS2 fanboys are always the most unreasonable. But, yes I agree that it is really stupid for him to say that EGM hate Xbox so they say that Halo 2 is pushed back again. Unless, EGM has a conspiracy against Xbox, hmmmm .

I'm sorry, they aren't ALWAYS the most unreasonable, just most of the time, atleast in my debates. And I'm not saying they are unreasonable because they love the PS2, it's just the points they bring up that are so stupid and not true.

Agree to disagree and move on. Its not really worth fighting over, specially if you might end up hurting each other and not being friends anymore.

hes a fanboy, you cant do anything about it.. he'll probably realize that in years to come. if you call him a geek, he might stop or get mad. anyway,

strike1: true you cant replace the processor with a more up to date one, but you can replace it IF and only IF his dad designed the processor which is unlikely. but, you can easily mod it, which i think is what his friend did..

strike2: i used to think EGM was leaning more on nintendo back in the N64 days.. its just that there were more quality games for the big N that time and the PS1 was flooded with crappy games. now, its so hard to decide which game to buy since most are actually good in terms of quality! EGM is the most UNBIASED mag i have ever known.. to think i used to subscribe to both EGM and Gamepro.

strike3: obviously he hasnt been reading the business news recently. worldwide sales of the PS2 rank no.1 followed by Xbox.

I love my Xbox, I love my Cube, and when I get a PS2, I'll love it too. The winning system for me right now is the Cube b/c of its superior exclusive games. With that out of the way, you're absolutely right, your friend is really, really ing stupid. I say throw him in a pit full of PS2 fanboys and let him have it. Either they'll kill eachother outright or argue until his head explodes.

Fanboys are fanboys, regardless of system.

The numbers I have seen are World Wide PS2 1st by far. Gamecube 2nd followed by Xbox.

In the US it is true that the Xbox is in second but the Xbox is doing so poorly in Japan that the Cube has outplaced it world wide.

Of course it's doing bad in Japan, it's the first time a major game system contender hasn't come from Japan. It actually makes me happy that WE finally get more cool stuff than they do, they usually have all these awesome Japan-exclusive things.

Actually the Atari came from America.

Fanboys are unreasonable regardless of console, but PS2 fanboys are the worst.

Yeah I agree, it's kinda nice to get stuff first. It's also nice to see an american console again (that's actually selling well), it looked for a while that the jaguar was going to be the last.
