To the guys that were here back then. Most of us say that 2008-2009 were better because there were a lot more discussions about games and the sales discussions were less "violent" than now.

Do you think that by 2015-2016, so by mid gen when we'll likely know where each console will end, all the anger that some users bring to the forum will leave room for more interesting and constructive discussions about games or do you think that things will never be like 2008-2009?

Agreed, a lot of these sales discussions can get brutal and a lot of it overwhelms the decent discussions about games and other stuff. I think since we're in the midst of two major console launches that coincided with each other at the same time during the holiday, things are bound to get heated and nasty. This is the first time that has ever happened. We have never had two big console launches one right another like that. But after a while I think the dust will settle and things will calm down eventually, and there will be more discussion on games like in 2008-2009.

I really hope so!

This situation has been going on for too long. Last X-mas things were already getting nasty with all the rumors, and since the different events revealing the consoles and its specs, things have only gone for the worst.

I hope that by next X-mas things will have calmed down a bit.
