Forums - Gaming - the gaming community have been divided

twesterm on 14 June 2011

The gaming community has been divided since at least Nintendo and Sega, the console wars are nothing new. If you think fanboys today are brutal, you should have seen some of the Sega. And Nintendo hate in the early 90's.

You serious? Remember Nintendo vs Sega days? Or Nintendo Vs Sony? Fanboyism has always been there since the dawn of days. I swear that it was bigger in the 90s than it is today.

Anyway since we are largely playing the same games today since 90% of the titles you want are multi plat, i would argue that its actually more joint than it used to be.


but in those days, it was not rampent as compared to these days. even though most games now r multi plat people are still fighting on who has the better version or what so ever.


I agree this must end now.

GROW UP AND UPGRADE YOUR PC!   STOP PLAYING DUMBED DOWN KIDDY CONSOLES! 

Its the only solution, get the best, or stick with the rest.

it was even more rampant. You had the actual companies airing commercials just for fanboyism. Sega does what Nintendon't. I mean if that isn't fanning the flames what is. Sony did similar from what I remember.

I believe this is what you are remembering:

It's those Crash Bandicoot commercials where he yells at the Nintendo offices. Oh that Crash...
