Also, with the divide this gen with two consoles that stand head and shoulder above in hardware capability and represent a completely different way of building and thinking its natural that people would assign two camps; the Wii and the "not Wii" or HD consoles. Last gen saw three relatively similar consoles compete, it was even ground and simpler for developers and consumers alike, this gen is different. Also; stop complaining, there are certainly worse things going on in the world right now and its not like no one has pointed this out before. PS: I realize that the PS3 tag below my name will cause you to not care about what I say. But I don't care, its just my two cents anyway. |
For what it's worth, I think the pissing contests abotu sales are pretty stupid in general, and think that lumping the two systems together is disingenuous in general.
But when Wii owners lump the HD consoles together that way, it detracts from either of them as individual consoles, doesn't it? It's basically saying that neither console is worth comparing the Wii to, so you might as well compare both of them put together. More, it takes away from the way the two HD consoles differentiate themselves from each other.
When HD owners lump them together for the sake of comparing them to the Wii, doesn't that detract from them as individual consoles in the same way?
