Poll: Apparently, there is no console/system War - it's just a fanboy war. According to NPD.


Are they right or wrong? They are "NPD" after all...
Correct! The battle is in the (fanboy's) mind!

It actually pisses me off to how ignorant some people can be.

I have one co-worker of mine who proceeded to argue with--no wait, yell at me why the PS3 is a better system than the 360. His compelling argument? "Blu-ray disc is *insert fanboyish linguo here*!!11!!1111!" Mind you, he owns absolutely ZERO games on the PS3...and yet he is cursing himself (and me indirectly) because he bought the Halo 3 edition of the 360!? Okay, whatever.

And then, after his long-winded argument of why the 360 is inferior to the PS3 (which made no sense at all since again, he has not played ANY GAME ON THE PS3), I responded, "Okay, that's your opinion...I still love my 360. I still think it's a great console along with the PS3."

He gives me this WTF look and says: "Why are you so difficult?"

... -_-

I... didn't think people like that actually existed... If I were you, I'd have slapped him by now... perhaps even knocked him out if he constantly preached.

It's the ignorance that gets me. The people who buy a console because their mates/the salesperson at EB/their mum/great god TV said so and then they proceed to slag off the other consoles without even playing them.

I'll fully admit that I prefer the 360 for the sheer reason that it's got the majority of games I like either out or coming out on it. It's not cos I love Microsoft, not cos that's what my mates have, not cos the guys at EB forced it into my arms. It's all about my personal preference of games. If that wasn't the case I'd never have bought a Dreamcast or Saturn (although it did lead to me becoming cynical and jaded). If something really catches my eye on PS3 then I'll get one then (or just buy the game and borrow my brothers) but I can't really justify the money at the mo. Doesn't mean the PS3 sucks, in fact I know it does not suck because I've actually bothered to play it. I just gots to have my Fable 2 :-)

It's all in your heads, guys. We're in a mental console war.



XD Sorry, I had to.
