"Where your treasure is, there your heart will follow." People argue for the system they are going to invest in, plain and simple. The most successful system is always the most valuable system, because it gets the games, and everyone knows this. So people generally end up repeating each company's BS PR talk. You can see it right in the original post with the term "future proof." What does future proof mean? Its bogus. Or how about "new generation" or "gameplay over graphics" or "4D." Its all a bunch of PR, which basically aims to congeal an entire business strategy into a catchphrase, but the fanboys never really study those strategies. They angrily throw the catchphrases at each other and hope their console comes out on top, because they don't want to feel cheated in their purchase.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
