Fucking Fanboys.

So the PS3 just might turn out to be better than the Xbox360. Then how would we feel? I say more power to Sony More great game systems = more great games = more happier gamers. Well, for the most part. It also = more console wars (i.e. fanboyism. I am really starting to tire of that word, by the way. Please overlook the fact that I have used it twice). I was a sworn Sony advocate since my preteens (walkman, anyone?) but really got behind the brand after witnessing the power of the PS-double. Next came the Xbox, and the just like that, PS2 was gone and forgotten like an old porno you have seen too many times. Sony (in regards to their latest gaming console) has been in trouble since their insane jump-off of the PS3 around this time last year, and gamers, myself included, who had the same love for PS2 that I had/have, abandoned them. Sony has been ever since trying to claw their way back into people's homes, one misguided step at a time.

Now that it's starting to look like they may be getting their proverbial shit together, a comeback of sorts may be in the works for the PS3. And what will happen then? Will Xboxers purchase another system for their entertainment center? Or provided that PSN somehow exceeds the quality of Xbox Live, (a difficult but certainly not impossible feat) will they ditch their 360s altogether and go to the darkside? (Trust, my little pwny isn't going any damn where) And if something like that happens, will Sony ever take us back with open arms? I suppose they will have no choice if they want to compete, however it would be hard not to feel a slight twinge of shame after the the majority of us gamers (as well as many online publications, including Destructoid) publicly rebuke not just the system, but Sony as a company. But all they want to do is make us happy.

Yes, yes I know they are primarily in this business to make loads of that sweet, sweet gamer cash, but each of the companies behind the 3 current-gen systems are doing their best to make sure that they give us something good in exchange for that cash. They have to be, because the alternative in the competitive gaming marketplace today is death. I am also aware that none of these companies really give a fuck about me personally as much as they do my killer consumer instincts. I think this is just coming from the guilt that I sometimes feel from my disloyalty and mockery of a company that has brought so much joy in the past, just because something better came along. People, I have a dream. A dream that these two systems can co-exist. Separately but equally.

Yes, I just went there.
