Console Wars Make Infinity Ward Angry
- Thread starter John Funk

Its good to know I have something in common with the guys at Infinity Ward.
For my job I have long since resigned myself to being impartial about which console is best and all that jazz (Do you want it to play Blu Ray? What are your feelings on Halo and Gears of War? Right, from those answers, I think Wii is your best choice...). I personally don't need it quantifying and hate people who give one word reasons for why they don't like a console (or anything for that matter) along the lines of 'because its shit'.
However, as impartiality doesn't actively help to sell consoles, I've now adopted the better salesman line of 'All consoles are brilliant!'. It helps get them in a positive mood for when I inform them of the amount of PS3s we've had returned because of faulty disc drives and that they might like to take out extended warranty as we have no idea if the slim will blow up. At least with the 360 I can be brutally honest about how the failure rate has 'improved' over the years but it might still be a good idea.

Its all personal preference,
And the difference in exclusives more than the hardware is what people make decisions on in my opinion

Amen to that. I'm sick of hearing about the bloody Console Wars (by the way, I'm a PS3 user). Each have their pros and cons but the PS3 is just better than the 360.
I thought at first the article was going to be about Infinity Ward Hulking out and going out to smash things. Oh well, the article was good nevertheless...

Nice to see an Escapist writer generalizing the people who play on one particular console. In a thread about the console wars no less.CantFaketheFunk said:
I think that if we compare the online, x-box live is still filled with more hooting dickholes. But thats just my experience.
I'm pretty sure that all PC users are trying to make Infinity Ward as angry as possible at the moment anyway.
