Most consoles sold != best console

I agree with your topic. I did not feel like a loser playing only my N64 or my GAMECUBE or my Xbox, or my dreamcast. Or my game gear.

The whole "winning" thing is more of a "haha, OWNED" thing, because Sony fanboys (and the company Sony) were really full of themselves last generation. So its more of a "in yo face, mutha sucka!" type deal. Hell, I still remember those commercials where crash bandicoot went to Nintendo HQ and made fun of mario. That jerk!

So, in yo face, sony!

Yep, this gets to my the heart of my point. As egotistical as this is, I'm going to quote myself:

"In essence -- we want this to be a winner-and-losers, black-and-white contest, because it's appealing and enjoyable to think that way. It's like a sport. But we need to remember that reality comes in grey, and that there is no absolute winner or loser."

The feelings you're describing are exactly the sort I think spurs all of these flame wars. Not picking on you, by any means -- I feel these combative impulses myself. I think we ALL feel this way, sometimes. That's why I'm making this post: to help us all keep it in perspective.
