I'm with ya. I've played games since the Nes where flickering and slowdown was just accepted. I played game on the Snes like Starfox and Stunt Race FX where the things were so slow and choppy, it sometimes seemed like I was watching a slide show. I was never bothered by what the games were doing wrong. I was just happy with what they were doing right.
Now, we see complaints about screen tearing (not the topic of this thread) and framerate drops that are only noticeable because Digital Foundry has a thingy running on the bottom of the screen telling us we saw it....and if your console of choice has that frame drop and the other one doesn't, you'd better get ready for the onslaught. I'm just one of those guys that plays the exact same game on multiple systems and, even if DF tells me one is better than the other, I tend to not notice it.
Maybe there are those that really care because they're professional gamers or something. There are others that just want to support their team. Anything to give weight to your argument, I guess.
