That would've made for a more interesting debate, if the two sides had just derailed it entirely into a debate over what constitutes "gamer" and tore everything down

Would've been my strategy if i had been chosen

i agree with this sentiment, the word gamer should have been defined more clearly. the offense was just using the same arguments that "hardcore" gamers have been using the entire generation, which are fine arguments from only their standpoint. also, the defense seemed apologetic for defending the wii, which makes it look weak. and whoever on the offense said that nintendo abandoned local multiplayer is silly because they are the only console that really focuses on playing games together, in the same room. i think next them you guys should pick people who will argue more passionately and have a topic with a clearer defintion. hope to see more debates.

......

It's kind of hard to vote for either side. DKHustlin said it nicely, it feels as though the defense just didn't go far enough, wimping out midway, and the offense used practically every "hardcore" argument/cliche since 2006. Not saying that all of it was bad, but the interesting parts are buried underneath a pile of rubbish.

Just one thing to say here which really gets to me, is what is a gamer. I don't see why people have such a hard time with this, as though it was something along the lines of "what is the meaning of life?". No. A gamer is just someone who plays games. Done and done.

Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward the next debate. Should be fun.

I believe we'll be recruiting for the next debate soon. Look out for it and, if you wish to take part, let us know and we'll get back to you!
