LOL you can't be serious? "Console war" goes back as far as PC vs consoles, when people used to be like "Consoles are for kids, real gamers play on PC with our grown up text RPGs where we can tell our characters to fuck themselves" *snicker* *has asthma attack* Then after it was previlant that NES and consoles were here to stay it became SNES vs Genesis, which again Genesis played the "Nintendo is for kids card" that failed, PS1 pulled the same card but also grew the market by pulling in nongamers like the guys that used to think they were too good for games and those that beat up the gamer nerds (AKA Jocks) then you saw games like Madden sell like crazy even though it was the same crappy game every year (funny how life goes in circles) and so on till you come to today... MS didn't start it and they won't be the end of it, my nostradomus prediction is the final console war will be between Nintendo, Sony, SEGA!, and... ATARI WITH AN EPIC COME BACK C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER! |
Before console wars, there was Chevy vs. Ford. There have always been people that take brand affiliation as Very Serious Business.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
