The Idiot's Battle: Console Wars
SaxAttk | 8:08 PM on 07.14.2008 7 comments





With the recent announcment of Final Fantasy 13 going multi-platform, an already stirred sea of fanboyism has increased in aggression. These console wars haven been going on ever since there were two consoles out with about the same quality of software and hardware. It seems that in many a mind, going into the store and purchasing your box of choice is like signing a contract in your unborn child's blood. People feel the need to fight for and defend their console of choice, and sneer and laugh at the people who bought the other box of wires, plastic, and chips.
This simply isn't so, we don't need to fight everyone. Playstation 3 has to deal with the often loud and ignorant crowd of Halo 3 players, and 360 has the task of enduring the onslaught of J-RPG fans and Snake lovers. The Wii fanbase is the calmest of the bunch, so they are not a part of this rant. Anyways, out of all the stupid things to bicker and bitch about, video games is by far the most incriminating. What is next? Glowing hot debates over dildo brands? Liking a certain game or console does not mean that the other brands are bad. When it all comes down to it, every company ever made only wants your money, they have no love for you and only apply the facade of sincerity and compassion to further invade your wallet.

I enjoy all 3 current-gen consoles.-

The Wii fanbase is the calmest of the bunch

DarkTravesty:

Agreed. I can't see how the Wii fanbase is the "calmest of the bunch". Maybe it's just me.

Not everyone can afford all three consoles. That's why there's a war.
pyrofreak421's Destructoid Blog
Even if a person can't afford all 3 consoles it doesn't mean they have to freak out and call people stupid when they buy one of the others. It's a rather strange thing to discriminate people by. I mean if you have a group of friends that play games together and one of them decided to get a PS3 instead of an XBOX and he can't play w/ the rest of the group then i could see busting there balls about it but other then that WTF is wrong w/ people.

I agree with pyrofreak, and about the ff13 announcement, it's only a game, most people think it is the second coming of christ or something like that.

Have you seen the big freakout here at Dtiod, it is good news. But people tend to take things way,way too far. I've seen lots of, ms wins E3 and oh sony is gone from the battle type comments, wtf is wrong with people, why all the hate towards sony and Ninty? Don't they realise they sound like twats?

No, they don't

I don't know why the FF13 announcement was such a bombshell to everyone. It's still going to be on the PS3, and its no different than DMC4 or GTA4. What's the big hairy deal?

I haven't seen all that many Wii-fanboys come out of the woodwork.
