"hris, I gotcha man.
I think I understand completely what you meant now.
I know loads of folks who have a weird loyalty to a particular console maker or game developer, and I know loads of people that think said bizarre loyalty is... well, bizarre.
This was more for the people that don't understand this phenomenon of conole loyalty, like you.
I wanted to exaggerate and make the fanboyism seem a little more understandable, and I thought that making it more of a relationship between lovers, as opposed to producers and consumers, would resonate with people more, seeing as everyone has some experience with love and broken hearts.
As a last footnote to kinda/sorta/try to explain, in my observations, think that the console loyalty is a result of something everyone in the U.S. understands: money-- or lack thereof.
And since many people feel stuck in a corner once they purchase a console, they think it to be more efficient, economically, to focus their attentions on their chosen console. Somewhere along the way towards this decision of theirs, they grow a loyalty to their Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo, and if completely sucked into the whole "not being able to play games they think should be on their console first" thing, they develop a very real anger, frustration, and loyalty. I have many friends who take sides and defend Sony or Microsoft to the point of verbal assaults, and this is what spurred my interest in what makes them have such a hard-on for their respective brand.
@ Chris, once again, thanks for taking the time to read my piece. I really appreciate it, and I sensed no disrespect on your part-- I sensed that you legitimately didn't "get" my writing at first, and that only shows fault on my part for not making it clearer in my wr"

"hris, I was unaware of my agenda to "strip rights away" from anybody, but that's pretty cool that you got that from this. I kind of just wanted to make this funny, and to make it apparen, (or attempt to) my facetiousness through a litany of stereotypical and melodramatic diction. Tom was a little more on the ball than you, and Carlos seemed to get what I was aiming for... but maybe I am just really convincing as a creepy fanboy.-- which is also pretty gnarly to me.
And to clear this up for those of you who unfortunately take things for face value: I'm not really a fanboy. I don't really care that the content for GTA was released on the 360 first; I understand business is business. I love all the systems equally.
