As long as there are people who can't accept other people having a different opinion then there will be war.
You also have the elitists who can't sleep at night unless they have someone to look down upon.

I remember this going on since the 80s. Not only did we have console wars, we also had PC wars (C64 vs ZX Spectrum, Amiga vs Atari ST, no the PC was not part of the war, you had to be a gazzillionaire to own one and it still looked like crap) and it was always good fun.

I mean it's the techie (or nerdy) version of sports. They have their teams we have our consoles. And Yes it's not because we like the console makers. It's because we ARE RIGHT and they ARE WRONG!!!!

If Nintendo and Sega fans couldnt get along what makes this gen any different? Until there is only one console is when we'll all get along.

We're all acting like this fighting is specific to consoles. All people need another group of people to hate, wether this eventuates in racism, sexism, religious discrimination or console wars, it's going to happen.

I propose that instead of trying to have peace declared, we simply change the teams

How about
Those who keep their consoles/pc towers upright vs those who lay them down?

I keep mine upright. I just do not see a point to lay It down that is the dumbest thing ever. It ruins all your games!!! (randonm bs link)

Actually, my Mass Effect 1 was ruined by having my 360 upright. I didn't move it, and I put the disc in, but something weird happened. It made some scary sounds, and it was totally scratched up all over the place. Luckily, I bought it at Wal-mart =) free replacement.

It's a nice thought but that would imply we'd have to be mindless zombies, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

People have opinions, and they differ. Different opinions, in their extreme, give rise to fanboys.

Perhaps though, as it's becoming increasingly common to own more than 1 console, peoples' opinions will become more flexible.

Having different opinions isn't the root of the problem, it's more about how people portray those opinions. I'm victim of this as well, but some of us try too hard to force others to understand our point. For me at least, I don't care if people agree with some of the things I say as long as they understand.

Of course, there are just times when I'm wrong and/or misinformed, but I can usually (keyword usually) catch on to that quickly enough.
