What's the stereotypical fan of each /vr/ console like?

Nintendo:
>NES
You're a basic bitch Gen X who hasn't played a video game since 1992
>Famicom
You're a turbo weeb who is obsessed with the bubble era, probably watches GCCX and calls things kusoge
>SNES
You don't care about any other Nintendo console and think they peaked here, probably plays mostly non-retro
>SFC
You really like JRPGs
>N64
You're an American millennial who played GoldenEye at a sleepover when they were 12 and can't get over it
>GameCube
You're a turbo autist who has long, complicated opinions on exclusively Nintendo games
>Game Boy
You're either a basic bitch Pokemon fan or a hardcore weeb
>Game Boy Color
You're either a basic bitch Pokemon fan or a hardcore Eurojank enthusiast
>Game Boy Advance
You spent way too much building a modded GBA, probably to play Pokemon

Sega:
>Master System
You're Brazillian
>Genesis
You were poor in the late 90s
>Mega Drive
You're a turbo weeb who found out about the difference between the 65816 and the 68000 and can't stop talking about it
>Saturn
You're a turbo weeb with elite taste
>Dreamcast
You fantasize about a timeline where 9/11 didn't happen and your parents didn't divorce

Sony:
>PS1
You're late Gen X, probably doesn't game much anymore, if you do it's on PC
>PS2
Basic bitch elder millennial

misc:
>OG Xbox
You used to use it as an emulation/media machine and can't get over it
>PCE
You're also a turbo weeb with elite taste (pic possibly related)
>2600
You're too old for 4chan, you prefer AtariAge
>>
>OP
You're a faggot

But they did peak there?

Both are fact.
>>
>PC
youre smart and old and baste
>>
>all Nintendo consoles
You only play first or second party games. You turn up your nose at third party stuff. Your top 10 for any given console is all first or second party games.
>all Sony consoles
The complete opposite. Your top 10 is all third party games. If somebody says Ape Escape or Parappa is their favorite PS1 game, you'll think they're crazy.

All the nintendo stereotypes are really colorful and then sony is just 'guy who was born in a certain time period'
It's like the Toyota of game consoles, every type of person plays Sony so there's nothing to stereotype
>>
>>12593150
PC Engine
>To be blunt, they are otaku. This machine, reverently made by the great NEC, has many niche, anime-style games that make you feel the lineage of PC-98 games. When it comes to so-called eroge = bishoujo (beautiful girl) games, it has the best lineup of any home console.
>Naturally, there are many users leaning in that direction. The classic look is unkempt straight hair that makes you wonder if they washed it three days ago, a sweatshirt bought at the local shopping arcade, and unknown-brand jeans that somehow smell a bit fishy.
>Naturally, they are incredibly knowledgeable about anime and idols, and are into bishoujo and doujin software. They are usually quiet, but the moment they realize the other person is a kindred spirit, they playfully rattle off game details using showy technical terms. However, lately, otaku have been neatening up, so people who go to this extreme are quite precious. I really want them to stick to this style. Eh? Sex? Oh come on, of course they are virgins.

Mega Drive
>Techno kids who get a thrill just from the naming sense of "Mega Drive." Anyway, they love new things with an edge.
>They got into this path, of course, because of Kraftwerk and YMO [Yellow Magic Orchestra]. Nowadays, they listen to trance house and thrash techno. Naturally, they tinker with synths, and many are Mac users. They've obviously read every volume of P.K. Dick and William Gibson, and their fashion is Kichijoji, 33-style. They might blurt out things like, "'Ugo Ugo Ruga' is getting a bit old, isn't it?", but despite all that, they are adorably bad at games.
>They are always abnormally clean with no body odor. They get by on CalorieMate for meals. They hate animalistic activities like sleeping, excreting, and sexual intercourse, and say things like they want to become a cyborg if possible. Their daily routine is meditating with "Eno" [Brian Eno] playing, and platonic homosexuality is right up their alley.

I thought the console was called Mega Drive in Japan not Genesis. Or maybe he's just a prog rock fan.
>>
>>12593589
The point is that Mega Drive fans are such westaboos they would call a console by its western name.

The joke is only westaboo retards like it

>PC-98
You aren't Japanese, you don't know Japanese; you won't learn Japanese, you never played a PC-98 game. You only touched yourself in front of a grainy png about Maria Custard chubby belly; Tachibana Natsune titjob scene or Lina Inverse having a bath in a dungeon. At least, you have a pirated floppy disk with pngs from Sogna games.

Okay, for the PS1 that's fine.
But what about PSX fans?

Funny how the same machine but in the rest of the world was for hardcore gamers

It wasn't, in the rest of the world it was for poor people

NEC was doing the PC-88 and PC-98 home computers which were the go to for porn games, and they allowed ports of strip mahjong games and console ports of the above until 1991 when arcade associations and the police started telling arcade places that they should stop having strip mahjong machines players could jerk off to in public "to preserve public order". NEC then started telling them to stop showing explicit sex and keep it voice only in the PC Engine ports, so besides the genuinely mainstream friendly games (Castlevania, Tokimeki Memorial, Snatcher CD, Hudson games which instead pushed gore not sex) it became known as the home console for exhibitionists so busy jerking off to anime girls they were disrupting public order.
NEC really embraced that otaku niche to the point some nip developers remember being ghosted for pitching games that didn't fit the image of a "2D anime otaku friendly game" (same as Sony of America's aversion to the same thing, and "2D" in general, or Bandai's initial aversion to publishing non-anime license games on the WonderSwan) and that's how you get a 1994 PC-FX game about anime girls fighting the evil polygon invasion (as if one of the nips looked at that horrible US mascot for the TG-16 that looks like a fat bearded ice cream salesman randomly trespassing and breaking in on houses and jumping on kids to tell them Nintendo and Sega lied to you", and that nip exec said "yeah that's totally what will save our console, funding Tengai Makyou 3? Pshhh)

I say if they're known as the horny otaku console their bad rep is completely earned
