This thread is weird. I've never experienced brand loyalty divides when I was growing up. There wasn't any SNES vs Genesis war or N64 vs PS war. There was just gaming, on everything, whether you owned one console or not. It wasn't until this gen started that things got crazy, when everyone was influenced by brand loyalty. It's spiraled out of control. Thanks to the internet communication has multiplied exponentially. No longer can a group of people be isolated out of the conflict. Now everyone is involved. Sales2099, the way you remember things is entirely different than the way I do. Maybe you experienced console wars back then, but not everyone did. Today, the wars are so into the public sphere that it is inescapable. You're witnessing of neutrals isn't due to a lack of loyalty, it is due to an increased scope. The console wars are worse than ever, they are big, but along with that comes knowledge to those who don't care, who participate in all consoles.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
