Why do people find it necessary to rant on about what console is better?

[scorptile]

actually i see discussions that went on between nintendo and sega lovers wasnt close to gloating on which console supposedly sucked. unlike the console wars today which all you hear from sony fanboys is "if its not HD its not a current gen system" which gets really old. the snes graphics was much superior then teh genesis' and no one really cared as long as they got to play their favortite games. but i did notice no one wanted to talk about the overpriced psone when it launched.
