What drives the console war debate?

The console debate has been playing out for as long as I can remember. Nintendo vs. Sega, SNES vs. Genesis, PlayStation vs. N64, PS2 vs. XBox and now, PS3 vs. XBox 360. When two products have similar capabilities, comparisons will be drawn, naturally. When it comes to consoles, such comparisons often turn into heated, insult-riddled "debates" about which is the better system. Here are some popular talking points from both sides:

-Processing power
-Exclusive titles
-Multiplayer interface
-Blu Ray player
-Controller preference
-Genre superiority
-Your mother

I am lucky enough to own both a PS3 and an XBox 360 but if I was told I had to choose only one, I'd give up the PS3 in a second. Why is it that I prefer one to the other? Is it any of the reasons I mentioned above? No, not really. Sure, I think XBox has a better online system in place but PSN does its job sufficiently AND it's free. So, then, what is it? For me, it came down to one thing- money.

People have been arguing LAKERS vs CELTICS for years...decades.
Ford vs Chevy and Yankees vs Red Socks has always been popular too.

So if people want to argue which console is better, how is that any better or worse or fundamentally different?

People can argue and debate without getting indignant and personally insulting.

Now, if the debate/argument devolves into a personal insult-fest, then that a fault of the particular person....not the subject.

Console Wars are fine.

Btw....
Lakers for the win! ;)

AntoineDcoolette4992d ago

I just don't understand why some 360 fans or Ps3 fans can't be chill and accept the fact that the other console exists and people like it rather than going off on massive hate filled tirades.

Guys guys guys....Dreamcast>Everythin g else.

mzm1194993d ago

Haha I did like the little screens. If you think about it, dreamcast and ps3 are similar in that they were both expensive and lacked early adopters. Although, I don't think PS3 had the same programming obstacles.

apparently I'm an idiot and when I click agree or disagree, I do, rather than my iphone showing who agreed or disagred. Disregard my agree and disagree on the two comments above.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
