PS3, 360, WII ... what the hell!?!

[Azazcyh]

Step 1 - Limited incomes
Step 2 - Make purchase
Step 3 - One of the other consoles gets exclusive game
Step 4 - Envy

Envy is where you got the problem. Envy creates much hate in the world.

Envy leads to anger, anger leads to hate...

Or something like that.

Some people are immature and take owning only one console too seriously. I only have a 360 and I love the thing but I'd be lying if I said there weren't a decent amount of PS3 games that didn't impress me.

switch PS3 and 360 and thats my answer

Its to do with buyers remorse - people who own one console want to feel as though they chose the "best" - when of course none of them are better than the others.

Exactly, for a while i only had a Wii so i said the PS3 sucked because i couldn't afford one

It's because the console wars have reduced many people to be hypocrites, sometimes hating a series if it's not on their console. Instead of playing for the fun, it's become who can be angsty the most about their console being able to play thirty games at once while being able to order you a pizza.

I for one love all the consoles, but if I'm faced with a fanboy, I'll gladly point out the follies of each one so they won't be so pigheaded. We should get back to the love of gaming, not the fighting of it.

OK people .. we've all realised that there is no REAL console war apart from the petty shit going on with developers ... 360, PS3 and WII owners all agree with each other and it's all about CURRENT budget for people at the time ... WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MICROSOFT AND SONY WORKED TOGETHER TO MAKE A CONSOLE????????

 

[BolognaBaloney]

The thing that irks me is when ps3 fan-boys keep telling me how "technically superior" it is. I play my friends off and on, and visually it's no better than 360. Maybe some day, but not yet.

As soon as they launch it, Jesus will return and take it with him.

Precisly, they all aim at different players and have their advantages over the others. TBH I'm over the fanboy BS.

I have the best console. It's a P6dii.

Wow, serious respect to you for admitting that. Most people who thought/think like that would never have the balls to admit it, and is probably the biggest reason for the console war.

Thanks man! Yea, it really is the problem. There are very few people who really hate on any of the consoles it's just because their jelous so they pretend they don't want one.

Let's say it is technologically superior.
Let's say the graphics are a bit better.



How long until the thrill wears off? I mean, I remember seeing GTA4 at a friends house on his Xbox360. I was so amazed I went back home and picked up the 360. Within 3 months I expect the graphics to look like that. I expect that if I had gotten a PS3 I'd be amazed at how better the graphics were for about 2-3 months and then not give a damn.

I have the perfect gaming system combination. Ready? This will solve almost every one of your problems. Wii and a Steam account

My father was telling me about the "Console Wars" back in the day of the Genesis and NES. From what he described, it was all playful and fun, instead of today's ruthless bashings from fanboys. I just find it funny that this, Being arguably the most balanced console generation, is spent by people bashing each other's consoles and being major pricks. It's stupid, really.

Yea.. that about sums it up. Thanks for making me feel old again

^ This.

Haha I pay to see that!

Fuck all of this, Let me introduce you to the Play Station Wii-60 portable that is also a phone a camera and plays music.

Title is slightly misleading.


On Topic, I don't really care about the MGS franchise.

Now this is like saying that Microsoft and Apple will work together to make the ultimate computer OS. But we all know that's not going to happen.

Exactly, for a while i only had a Wii so i said the PS3 sucked because i couldn't afford one

Now I agree with this cause I do poke fun at the Xbox 360 cause I don't have one (yes gasp I don't own an Xbox) and I probably hate the PS3's guts cause I've never touched it, but I'll admit, each has their pros and cons. I'm just too boring and poor to actually go out and buy them. I'm sure if I bought the PS3 I'd like it, but I've almost been totally convinced by my friend that this is the first console of a cheap Sony.

I used to hate the wii till i saw hod overkill and madworld were only on the wii. I was like "Shit! I have to have those games! I gonna have to get a wii! " I had a ball with the wii. I also got the 2 other systems. I had always heard it is only for little kids and old folk. I think a lot of listen to the hate from fanboys.{Like i did.} I thought the wii was a piece of shit till i played on it.
