Meh, I don't really bother with the console war. Waste of time in my opinion. Nothing but a bunch of people getting overly defensive about a purchase they made because they don't like the idea that they could have made the wrong choice.
Whatever, go ahead and fight. I'll just sit over here and play with my Xbox and PC and Wii and Gamecube and N64. Why limit yourself to one?
Problem fanboys?

You will never end the console because it boils down to this:
360 Owners: "PS3 sucks because I have a 360."
PS3 Owners: "360 sucks because I have a PS3."
Me (despite only having a PS3) and many other people: "Who gives a flying fuck!? Just play your games and shut up!"

cant we all agree that:
PS3 has good hardware
Xbox 360 has good games and online play
Wii is fun for family
and
PC is where video games achieve enlightenment

Well, since consoles suck ass and PC for life, it doesn't really matter.
DO HO HO HO HO
I'm kidding.
So yeah, I mostly game on PC but I also own both the 360 and PS3. From personal experience, I can say that the console war will never, ever end.
Busting out the PC elitism here, but PC is really the best platform anyway, and if everyone gamed on PC, the war would be ended.
Unfortunately, that'll never happen, since the PC has, for whatever reason, lost a lot of support from the big studios and publishers.
If all the console fanboys could just gang up on people who are mainly PC gamers you could end the console war in minutes.
And it'd be entertaining for me, because I'd love to see someone try and come up with a legitimate argument against the PC as a gaming platform.
So, in summary, the console war can be solved either by everyone coming to PC or by every mainly console gamer ganging up to try and fight every mainly PC gamer.
PC PC PC.

Not just the 360 has good games though. They all do. And the only platform with 'less than good/average' online play is the Wii.Jegsimmons said:
A better assessment of RicoADF's statement would be to say that games tend to have better graphics on the console they were natively programed for.RicoADF said:
Console wars are stupid. Pick the platform that fits your needs and wants the best. Then leave everyone else to do the same. It is as simple as that.
there is a difference to flaming and having a opinion, console fanboys are only flammingAby_Z said:
It will never happen, you will always have fanboys, and honestly, 360 has the worst of them. I'm happy with my computer and consoles, so I don't care what other people think about what I have/don't have...
Boy, for an Anit-Console War thread there seems to be plenty of bashing all around. Let's see if we can find some common ground here.
360: It's faulty, lost in the format wars between HD-DVD and Bluray, and you have to pay extra to go online with it. On the upside I hear that online multiplayer is well worth the price in how it's structured.
As for games, it has a balance issue between the "Purposely HardcoreGames made to capitalize on violence and gore (usually via bullets flying) with the reason or story taking second place in importance. Or third if it's online." titles and the "Reasonably MadeGames that start with a story or concept that aren't made to capitalize on a popular game mechanic, but just happen to fit nicely into one." ones, mostly from what I can say is a heavy "I want to be a badass" Tween players and the College Frat boy stereotype who seem drawn to it. But the games it's known for (mostly online FPS) are some of the best.
PS3: While it's online is free-to-play, I'm under the impression it's not as well structured as the 360's. Never the less it won the Format Wars and has a more varied library then both the Wii and PS3.
Wii: Poorer graphics then the others and a poor online system, but it makes up for it by having the best first-party titles of any console and an emphasis on local multiplayer. It also has the unfortunate curse of being the best console for kids, leaving it a breeding ground for shovelware and an easy target for jerks alike to piss on it in order to make them feel more mature.
PC: Best Online, Best Graphics, Varied games both Triple-A and Indie... but expensive as hell. To keep ruining games at peak performance you ether need to have the money and knowledge to keep building and upgrading your own machines or lowering your graphics to the lowest settings until you can afford a faster machine. For many people, those just aren't viable options.

I own an Xbox 360 but would also really love to own a PS3 as well. In fact, I like all current gen consoles, and gaming PCs. Yeah, the COD map packs spark silly console wars because they're released first on one console and not the other. I suggest everyone turns against the fact that they're selling four maps for $15.
So, like I said. Why does it matter that I personally find no use for my Wii other then to play old games? I never made mention of any of the new games, nor did i say they were bad or good. Only that Faceless Mister Kagim only thinks the Wii is good for the Super Nintendo and N64 games?Chibz said:
I know I'm probably sounding like a dick here, and trust me I'm not trying to be. It's just this is sorta the thing I was talking about.
I didn't insult the Wii, or say anything really negative about it. Only that I, personally, only like the Wii for its access to classic Games.
Which leads me to honestly, honestly ask why did it matter enough to you to specifically quote and tell me about how the Wii has some really good games that PS3 owners would like.
I'm not calling you a fanboy/girl. I'm not insulting you in anyway here at all.
I just really want to know what made you decide to reply to that specific line, and nothing else. I said worse about the 360. I said worse about PC owners. Yet a tiny, tine line to maintain neutrality on the subject is what you responded to.
So I ask you. In all seriousness, especially since it has lots to do with the topic at hand.
Why?
