Console Fanboys, these people are annoying. Console fanboys are arrogant people that will go apesh*t if their favorite gaming system is brought into question. Whether it be the Playstation 2, Gamecube, or X-Box. Each system has its pros and cons, but console fanboys donβt care. For example, if a fanboy is devoted to Sony, he will love every system made by Sony, and hate everything made by competing companies. But the main thing console fanboys are focusing on right now is the next-gen systems. The X-Box 360 is already out, and it is being praised by Microsoft fanboys as being better then the other two next-gen systems, the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Revolution. Even though the PS3 and Revolution are not even out yet. Two things that make console fanboys annoying are: 1) They hate every system other than the one they like, regardless of whether or not they have even played them. 2) They think the next-gen system made by their favorite company will be better than the other next-gen systems, even if they are not out yet and no one can know for sure which is best. Console fanboys will always be close-minded. They will always exist as long as new gaming systems come out.
If you want to see the console fanboy yourself, I suggest going to any forum with a lot of members, and starting a thread asking which gaming system is best. Before you know it, a slew of console fanboys will flood your thread with their comments and flame wars will ensue.

A) Someone who likes a certain console and hates fans of other consoles
B) A console player who dislike the PC for some reason and likes to exaggerate both the price of a PC, and the technology of their consoles
Example a)
PS3 fanboy:"Xbox sucks because <insert reason here>"
Xbox fanboy:"PS3 sucks because <insert yet another reason here>
Example b)
Console troll:"PC SUX BCUZ <insert most unbelievable reason here>"
PC gamer: "You ought to switch to PC, the consoles are outdated and with, BF3 coming out, you'll miss the full game DICE has to offer"
Slightly Sane, yet ignorant console fanboy:"Nah, I'd lay on a couch and play a game with my super console with better graphics than on a $10,000 PC that gets viruses."
PC gamer "$10,000? We're talking about a PC here! Not a car! And better graphics? Fail!"

In a sports match where one team is very far behind the other team, but manages to score point(s) very late in the game, despite the outcome already being obvious.
Most likely used in soccer/football where one team already has a huge advantage (5-0) and it's very late in the game (89th minute out of 90)
In Brazil v Germany's semi final match in the World Cup, Germany beat Brazil 7-1. Brazil scored their only goal in the 90th minute, making it a consolation goal because there was no way Brazil could change the outcome of the match (score 6 goals) in less than 1 minute.
Something that should get you banned and ruins online games for others.

A pointless argument between fans of certain game consoles. Currently the battle between the XBOX 360, the Wii, and the PS3. The PSP and DS are also contenders in the console wars. This will never be resolved until Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony (and maybe Sega) all join together and make a console. But that console would probably suck.
PS3 fanboy: What's that ya' playin'?
360 fanboy: 360. Wanna play?
PS3 fanboy: Psh, no.
360 fanboy: Jeez, at least I didn't sell my house to buy the console.
Wii: Oh my god, you're both gay.We all know that the wii is the best console.
PS3 fanboy: -Toilet joke-
360 fanboy: Yeah, we all know that the graphics have to SUCK for the game to be good.
Wii fanboy: Yeah, well the 360 has nothing special about it, and the PS3's really expensive.
Neutral-Gamer: This again?
-Passes them rival consoles and baseball bats-
-Fanboys beat respective consoles with the bats, but stop arguing-
Neutral-Gamer: Can I get some sleep now?... Lousy Console War.

A consolation prize is when you ask a girl out and she says no but she wants to remain good friends. The guy feels like he is not good enough for a romantic relationship just a platonic friendship.
This usually occurs between friends; the guy and the girl start as friends however the guy starts to like her romantically and wants their friendship to develop into a relationship. When he lets his feelings be known to her, she turns him down but honestly tells him she wants him as a friend. At this point the guy needs to do some soul searching and figure out if they can go back to the way things were or they go their separate ways.
Sometimes girls will say this to a guy they don't know well as a subtle cue to go away. However this most often happens between friends and has the ability to destroy friendships. The guy has had his pride hurt and is left resentful and bitter and feels like he has been made a fool of by the girl who he thought so much of.
The girl is left hurt as well, since she feels guilty about hurting him and possibly losing a close friend. However she can quickly get annoyed at him if she thinks he's being immature or trying to guilt trip her into a relationship by acting depressed. Its an awkward situation and requires much tact and patience for things to turn out alright.
John Doe 1: "I ask Jane Doe out yesterday."
John Doe 2: "How did that go?"
John Doe 1: "I got the consolation prize...she wants to be friends."
John Doe 2: "Ouch, sorry man."
