Great read.. It's missing a key gamer type though...

The Game Guru

You know the guy that's owned every single system and played every single game since pong and has near infinate knowledge of gaming in general?  I could write a whole chapter on that one myself (seeing as I sort of am one) but, eh, I'm too lazy.  ;)

Yes, yes I could.  Part of being a gaming guru is lacking any fanboy bias and being able to see a piece of hardware for what it truely is.
