What's this war all about?

AninParadX : I think this post is lame, and I think this topic is one of the lamest you can have. This post basically asks the stupid question : "why are you cheering for X ?". We're not robots, we're human beings. And feelings are not logical, thought things, that's all. We don't live in an utopia. So people will buy things they can afford, that provides the best emotional strike for them. For some people, console gaming has a stronger emotional force, and it becomes their hobby, or more. Human being love to communicate, even if it's pointless, the goal is to communicate, I can't explain why, perhaps some anthropologist or sociologist can. These kind of "I don't understand why you're acting like a human being" posts are the lamest. Why some people feel the need to troll ? Why some feel the need to defend ? I can't say. Myself, I don't like to troll, even if I will invariably do it from time to time without knowing, because of bad experiences with a product, making me bash it without even knowing. I think this "words war" is very good, if it can canalize all this energy into words, then it's a good thing, better than go outside do bad things. Even you are pretty much oriented with a big agenda. It's easy to tell, I just have to look at the words, and it's telling : fanboys (you have no way to tell if all these people are fanboys, and it's false anyway), manipulating, "you can't deny", believers (we would be believers if we believed what you say at face value, I don't), "played in the worst way possible", "outdated hardware", "future proof" (for a console !?), "consumers which want real new experiences" (you're basically saying the consumer is dumb and buy what he doesn't want, and the worst, is that this was made as a justification for what you want), "bulky", "unfinished", "The fact is that it's a great piece of technology"... I will stop there, but your post is actually as involved in the "war" as any other posts I've seen. I can even tell you clearly prefer the PS3 from what you've written, and you want to see it win, but distance yourself from it to not be disappointed. Just don't think that because you think what you're doing is right, like being religion agnostic is the more logical step, that being on another not so logical side is not a good thing too. Less logical side brings more risk, so more heated discussion of course when confronted to others, but it is nonetheless human.
