Playstation Owner
Despite no longer being the new kids on the gaming block and entering their second generation, the average Playstation owner's tolerance of shite software still has the power to amaze. 7 years on and they still haven't cottoned on to the the fact they are buying the same Football game every 6 months with minor statistical information changes. They still stand at TV screens in Electronics Boutique open mouthed watching FMV and longing for the day when games go back to using the 'D' buttons for directional movement.
Most likely to say:
A copy of FIFA2002 and latest issue of FHM please Mr. Shopkeeper....
Least likely to say:
A copy of ICO and the latest issue of EDGE please Mr. Shopkeeper....
X-Box Owner
If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find an X-Box user to show you how it's done. Shouting system specifications at every opportunity, this new breed of gamer wouldn't have dirtied their hands on a console had Microsoft not entered the fray muttering attractive words like "NVidia, 733hz, 64 MB DDR SDRAM", yet in their few short months as console gamers they are veritable experts in the medium, scoffing at the fools who are not clever enough to own the X-Box
Most likely to say:
"Have I shown you 'The Silent Cartographer' level in Halo?"
"Has anyone seen my Marilyn Manson CD?"
Least likely to say:
This controller was designed by a fucking idiot.
Nintendo Owner
Owners of the console from a company which has provided the gaming world with some of its finest moments, and don't they like everyone to know about it. Decent games do not exist on other platforms, and titles once labelled as 'utter shite' suddenly become 'brilliant!' upon appearance on the GameCube, a phenomenon knows as 'The Resident Evil effect'. Whether they are nervously playing Smash Brothers determined to try and find the fun in it or waiting patiently for AAA games to appear, the Nintendo owner's inability to criticise Nintendo is quite touching. Their ability to criticise anyone who criticises Nintendo however, is not.
Most likely to say:
"No, Nintendo are really looking after Europe this time around.... now, where can I buy a copy of 'Freeloader' so I can play imports?"
Least likely to say:
"You know, I can't be arsed to collecting all these trophies"
Dreamcast Owner
A strange bunch divided in two camps, those who supported the DC when it first came out, and those who are the vultures picking at the dead carcass of SEGA's hardware division, enjoying the spoils of war. The diehard players scream "where were you when SEGA needed you?" to which the newcomers respond "Does anywhere sell DC games cheaper than a fiver?".
These days they can be found wondering around Dixons looking confused, scratching their heads and wondering which of the remaining machines will be best supported by SEGA. Do not pity them, soon they will be one of the surrounding types.
Most likely to say:
"I was into PSO in the early days, before the idiots moved in"
Least likely to say:
"That was the worst ad campaign in the history of videogaming"
