God damn it I don't want to have to decide whether to switch out my atmomic nail gun for a chainsaw bazooka or gatlin weasel. Why can't I just carry all of 'em?

People need to defend their decisions.... people are also afraid to admit that their wrong... this is human nature and will never change.
I never really understood that, I mean, look at The Escapist. Plenty of people who will do the complete opposite of human nature?
All I'm saying is that a lot of people have a hard time admitting they were wrong... if someone says that system x is better than system y and the person bought system y, they feel the need to defend their to decision to avoid looking like they exhibited poor judgement.

As for the escapist, many of us have the intelligence to analyze the situation and say that no system is right or wrong, but rather, right for some... I've definitely had my eyes opened by some people on here, and as a result, harbour less hatred for the PS3 than I used. Granted that hatred was spawned by them disappointing me, but now I don't see it that way. It's not that PS3 sucks and is bad, it's that 360 is more in tune with what I like.

Everything has it's merits, otherwise it wouldn't be popular....

Except MW 2... that is just a steaming pile of ass infused with febreze to disguise the ass smell :).

The human race always likes to divide things based on differences, and there will always be people who think that their method of division is better than another. Everyone is trying to have their opinion heard because they feel it needs to be heard.

We don't do things because they are right thing to do; we do things because we don't want the wrong things to happen.

No-one wants to migrate from their favoured platform. So you want to justify your platform to assure yourself you wont have to. You say to the fanboy "I don't want to join you because X", then he says "But X is not true, Y is the way forward." etc etc etc.
You may not think about it on those terms, and you may actually believe that "my platform is the one true platform".

Our platforms for gaming may be different, but the end result, and our ideals are the same. Awesome gaming, and the desire to see gaming get better.

Peepz need to chill out, pick your battles. This is not one of them.

It is the very nature of gaming that everything must be a competition, thus there must always be wars (possibly of flame) and that cannot change.

There's always going to be someone who will disagree with someone else's opinion on a particular thing in the Gaming community, i think it would be incredibly difficult for everyone to "get along" to be honest.

For as long as gaming exists, Flame wars will exist :p

It's sad really. I like arguments, life would be hollow without, but the level the gaming community goes to just pisses me off.

I like this, you don't, oh well.

console wars, media wars, blu-ray HD DVD... etc etc etc.

i frankly couldn't care less. i will simply buy whoever's left, and if both are (as case of PS3 and Xbox360) i'll simply buy the one with the most appealing games to my personal taste.

Your opinion is yours and mine is mine, tough shit if you don't like it.
However if you want a discussion about opinions I'm all ears.

Well, I'm starting to care less and less, to the point where I would normally make a long post here, now I only make a few sentences. And the main problem is that in any PC VS Console debate there is so much misinformation, stereotyping, false preconceptions and malicious fanboying (from both sides) to make any semblance of discussion impossible. And let's not forget that coherent posts usually get ignored in favor of flame bait...

I care, because I care about the hobby.

A gamer cares about which games are better and what hardware to run games on. You spend time playing games afteral.

The opinions of gamers matter, because games are not made in vacuum.

Exactly, that's why we're fighting instead.

When there is only one video game in existence, available on just 1 console, with only 1 method or strategy of playing said game, then perhaps there will be no hatred among the community. Since that won't happen in any of our lifetimes, no there will be no peace among us.

This site aint bad.
Try looking at the comments on Joystiq or gamespot.
The fact of the matter is that all of the consoles are overpriced & rather lackluster and the PC is too damn expensive so there's plenty to make fun of in every corner.
Meanwhile the bloated corporations that make these machines are laughing at us all the way to the bank.

So all the flaming fanboys (of every kind) are right and the other fanboys that catch the venom feel the need to defend their own expensive purchase. It's a vicious circle that can be quite amusing if you don't take it too seriously.
I may take some jabs at the 360 but I'm just as critical of the ps3 (moreso of the sony execs and marketing dbags) and I'm positive that both companies just want to soak as much money out of us while using the least ammount of $ & resources.

No, I don't think that it'll be possible to stop fanboy arguments because its just human nature to try and assert dominance.
It isn't neccessarily a bad thing though because things would be really boring if everyone had the same tastes. Where would discussion ever spring from?
