He also calls Kinect fascist :D
I'm glad he has both consoles and hasn't fallen into the fanboy trap that, by the sounds of it, keeps haunting him as a gamer and a public figure.
Dara O’Briain is my favourite comedian.
I don't mind hardcore fans long as they speak on valid concerns about the next console and not just bash on the brand they dislike over nothing
I used to be a Sony Pony, didn't even want to know about the Xbox. This was not long after the release of the PS3. Looked at Gears of War 2 and decided I wanted it. Got a 360 back in like 2008 and had so much fun with it. Then I completely abandoned the PS3, it was collecting dust, so I sold it.
Last July, bought a new PS3 because I wanted One Piece, Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us, also wanted to try out the Atelier series after playing the PS2 series so much.
Now I'm on the winners team, the team that enjoys all and plays all. I have PS3, 360 and a Wii U. I do have a Wii, but didn't really get into it much, I did play a few games on it though.
