The Next Battle in the Console War

I guess at the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference (if you have to choose 1 of the 2 that is). Gotta love competition though. No competition = no innovation/invention and higher prices.

Pretty much the only thing I remember from Economics :P

interesting to think about

I have seen so much hatred towards the 360 from some of the more rabbid ps3 fans. While I have also seen it go the other way I have noticed a slight trend lately. Some of the more vocal 360 fans have stated their interest in getting the ps3 when it became cheaper and now it seems likely they will be doing so.

Not that it will change anything mind you but you have to respect them for at least being the bigger gamer to put aside the difference and pick up the console they once so opposed. I myself was like that until last year when I got the ps3. It is a great system but not perfect as others make it out to be. Neither is the 360 and I was never one to say it was. No console is without its faults but the biggest fault is the gamers who are so one sided to not even acknowledge and respect the choices made by others to further the same cause we all are part of.

It is one thing to be a loyalist to the cause but keep in mind it is the same cause the so called opposition is in favor of too. Great games and having fun playing them! I have a good friend who he himself is starting to realize the error of being such a one sided sony fan. He has been spending more time on his cousins 360 latley that his ideas towards it are changing. He can see there is good to being a gamer from a general sense instead of being restricted to just one console/company.

I wouldnt be surprised if more 360 gamers bought the cheaper ps3 and became more neutral in this so called war. Maybe voicing an opinion or two in regards to the multiplatform games but most enjoying what each system has to offer. I also believe there are some ps3 gamers out there who are interested in the 360 and have been putting it off for similar reasons (price, games, potential backlash from other ps3 extremists). There should be no reason to fight and bicker like little children over the same cause both are speaking so loudly about.

In conclusion I feel that those who are getting the ps3 and have a 360 will not be disappointed in what it has to offer. The same holds true for those ps3 only players that have an interest in the 360. There is great potential in both systems (maybe the wii too for kicks and giggles) and if you put aside the differences long enough you will see that I am right.

Sony will dominate. There is no question about it.

Yea, it's kind of a subliminal suggestion but someone had to be the bad guys.

I've noticed since both consoles dropped in price that the flames of the console war has been flickering in the wind. Soon it will be as it should, Gamers banding together to discuss how X game was good, but could be improved for all gamers.
