Woah woah woah, slow it down there, this is not a debate about which is better, it's ABOUT flame wars. I appreciate your addition, but that's the wrong kind of post my friend.DazBurger said:

That was hardly his fault, it would be a bit like blaming Martin Luther King for getting shot. Not that I am comparing the two... But if I was I reckon Jesus would have been more help with a flatpack wardrobe!Stewardesses said:
Edit: Does a flatpack constitute carpentry?
I have a friend who has all three an Xbox, Wii, and a PS3. Know which system he likes best? Wii. Why? COMPLETELY backwards compatible with its predecessor. Yeah the 360 and PS3 have amazing graphics but if you are hit with nostalgia you have to either take the time to hook up the old console if you want to play an older game.Mr.Petey said:
On Topic: The flame wars of the PS3 and the 360 go more with who you like better. It has to do with the EXCLUSIVES for the console more than the console itself. Someone who is a Metal Gear Solid fan DIE HARD I mean those fans not the ones that are like oh its an amazing game the ones that are like OMFG YOU HAVENT PLAYED IT YOU ARE A NOOB!!!! Yeah you have met someone like that before. They then go and get their console so they can play their exclusive games and find out all the best things about the console they have and not the flaws and refuse to listen to what those flaws are no matter what. The things that are better and that are worse about both consoles equal them out so its not much that makes them different besides the price tag and even then the PS3 has gone down in price.
no console is truely better than each other they all have there flaws so why bother with these stupid threads
i chalk them up more to trolling than trying to justify a purchase.
i mean i like nikes dont like reebocks but i never felt the need to go on a message forum and try and beat people over the head with the reasons why i perfer one to the other.
too often it just is looking to pick a fight and get attention, any time you go on a forum and flame something looking for a reaction with definitive phrases like "my console pwns ur lame console" or outlandish not even in the realm of reality stuff is trolling, ign exclusive articles are especially bad on both sides taking cheap shots or wild conjecture out one game consoles exclusive that they never even played or may not even be out yet.
the worst offenders are most certainly trolls period, not your average joe trying to convince himself that he bought the right system cause your average joe does not give a flying fig if he wanted to get the right console he would go research it himself before he bought it.

It's a way to justify the purchase of a console. "MINE'S BETTER THAN YOURS SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WASTED THEIR MONEY!!" That sort of thing.
Nah, the Wars on Terror, Poverty, Drugs, etc got it beat by a little bit. WHile this war is as much nonsense as the idea of those wars, at least this war has entertainment value.Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
Oh yeah, OT: I think it has to do with brand loyalty mixed with purchase justification as you stated.
Nice metaphor.Requx said:I own all of them I prefer my Xbox 360. Some people prefer PS3, some people prefer hookers to girlfreinds. Just float in your own boat and don't pollute the water
If I ever do come upon a flame war, I usually try to stay in the middle, as people normally start ranting on about one's supreme superiority.
BEcause people are argumentative and stupid. Can we move on to more productive conversations. this thread was answered by the first poster!

OT: PS3, because Sony doesn't squeeze you for the last penny (or $10, or $20)
Open question, that allows everyone's similar opinions to become prevalent.whaleswiththumbs said:

It's a result of the insecurity in your purchase, mixed with the human need to belong.Stewardesses said:
We recognise ourselves as being in a certain group, then our mind will conclude that our group is superior in order to boost our self-esteem without having to manipulate our view of ourselves.
IMO, all console gamers desperately need the opposing console to survive and compete. Mankind always performs best when it's competing against itself, and having a rival console of similar success leads to much greater titles being developed. Constant one-upmanship is the fast-track to greatness.
Because of this, I whole heartedly support the concept of console exclusives, and hope for a long continued, and heated, console war. Fanboy flame wars are just a disappointing byproduct of this.
Recently, while playing on Gmod, me and several people agree: Whenever the PS3-360 argument comes up, we'll say the Atari 2600 already won the war.
The reason for the wars is that people want to be sure they made the right decisions about their console.

Why thank you sir. I do try!Stewardesses said:
Dude, not only did you epic fail on actually reading the thread topic, but unless my eyes deceive me, didn't Stewardesses actually join before you? Surely that's enough fail to technically be a win.Vanguard_Ex said:
People get attached to their purchases and make it personal. Even if their choice in console is losing they'll still brag about it's selling points.
Personally the console rarely has anything to do with anything, I have more issues with controllers than the units they're attached to. Like how the Wii controller has ruined Metroid, but that's my personal problem.
