I do think there are whispers of a console war, for the first time in a long time. With Microsoft limping out of the console space and Sony and Nintendo increasingly competing for the same slice of the pie, I think it’s only natural. What’s more, I think it’s healthy. This community needs more activity, more controversy, more disagreement. We don’t need more trolls or flame bait, but we need honest, passionate debate. Maybe it will bring new users to the forum, or encourage lapsed users to return.

Quick clarification: You think console warring is healthy? That’s what the preceding portion to the bolded text is telling me. Also, could you please provide some examples as to healthy debate in regards to those who engage in console warring? Just looking for extra info is all.

And if console warring is what brings more activity to this forum, then I will simply leave. I’d rather engage with a community of gamers; not people who place their self-worth in defending one brand and tarnishing another, i.e. those who are looking to create paper-thin video game discourse.

I'm sorry; I'm confused by your question.

Yes, the section in bold suggests I think a console war can be healthy. But all the text after that provides the detail and context you're asking for. When there's more conflict and competition in the console space, there's livelier, more passionate debate, which is the lifeblood of a forum.
