Gaming - Console Wars - View Post

It used to be simple back in the day...

Kids could only have/afford 1 console and would argue in school, and later on the internet in order to justify their purchase. While still primitive, one can fully understand this type of a person and why they would fight for a specific console. Its the console card they were dealt so they may as well stick to it and champion it. Hell, I was like this at one point.

However a new type of console fanboy emerged somewhere along the line. This person pledged their loyalty to a specific brand and started championing everything a specific console manufacturer does regardless of games or his actual gaming preferences. This type of fanboy simply enjoys arguing, possibly more than gaming and is well informed so they are able to spin information in many ways to fight the good fight.

When dealing with people on forums, its usually good to keep this in mind in order not to waste time arguing with professional arguers.
