People are insecure about their purchase so feel the need to degrade the other option to make their chosen console seems like it was the best investment.

I'm just waiting for the WiiS360. Flame Wars never really interested me. Although I will defend my console (PlayStation 1-3) if someone disses it, I really don't care to start crap.

Everyone likes their own brand. Sports guys will hate Nike and love Reebok or love Reebok and hate Nike, for no reason other than they always buy that product.

I notice the first thing people do that are new to this site is either
1) Make a stupid console thread (like the "why the psp is better than the 360" one a while back)
2) Make a thread that has to do with Halo.

OT: PS3 is the best console....

EDIT: Just so I don't have my inbox spammed I'll like you who is reading this comment to know that I don't take this thread seriously. Whats the point on discussing why people like to bash a console that they may or may not have? They do so because they have nothing better to do or because they found an Xbox/ps3 in there moms bed....

Cognitive dissonance. Basically its people trying to justify their purchase. No one wants to accept that they bought the 'wrong' console.

I'd like to keep the whole "X is better then Y" subject out of this discussion.

I agree. I knew I would be insecure with either one and instead chose to use the money I would have spent to upgrade my PC.

I probably should've worded the title better then; soon we'll be getting people who jump in to just say "xbox is teh bomb"

Pretty much what everybody has said so far, people want to justify their purchase and prove it's better than the one they didn't get. I've got a PS3, Xbox360 and Wii and I like them all. The only difference I find with the PS3 and Xbox is that I get free online gaming with the PS3 so that's the reason I prefer that console but other than that I find them pretty much identical.

They want to boast? They act like don't want the other one, so slate it?

Pick one and thats the reason.

Theres no other reason to fight about it.

Whenever I do see a flame war though, I don't care about the subjects. It's how well people make their arguments, and how clear their judgement is, is how I take sides.

But my dad is a ninja so my dad can beat up your dad before your dad knows what hit him.

OP you forgot PC people they do it too . But yes it is mostly making up for some insecurity the person has. It could be a fear that they made the wrong choice or some personal issue. But as the internet has proven this real life problem can be fix by telling random internet people they are inferior to you (as you are projecting yourself through your game system).

A thread designed for a flame war will attract mods like honey attracts flies

and why PS3 vs 360
they're both good, and both crap
PS3 has no games, but it has dependable hard ware
360 breaks at the drop of a hat, but has a lot of games, and i really like the concept of achievements

so why not just flame the crap out of the Wii
it actually deserves the flame

like this, "you know if Nintendo comes out with a second Wii, called the Wii 2, in Japan it would be called the Wii Ni" ha ha, get it
