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 them myself. I think we ALL feel that way, sometimes. That's why I'm making this post: to help us all keep it in perspective. 

Yeah I know. That's what I'm saying. Sony die-hards will now know what its like to be on the other side of the console sales. And they will still enjoy it, just like I enjoyed my N64 and GCN, because Sony will make sure, through whatever means, that they sell enough consoles and enough good games get released on it. Even if they're in last place in worldwide sales, they're still gonna have great exclusives you can't play on any other system.

If the owners of the PS3 or 360 or Wii enjoy their consoles, then THEY win. It doesn't matter what happens to a company's profits, as long as the customer profits, with FUN and games!
