Who really cares? At the end of the day, both consoles have advantages and disadvantages over each other.

Honestly i have been more interested in multi-platform games this gen more than anything else. i cant deny Sony have let me down here and there, but at the same time i have no interest in Microsoft.

What can i say, its just not a big issue. Games are games, if you want the best you will have to buy both consoles.

That won't go down well with Nintendo fans ;) .There have been many threads in which they voiced their discontent about being left out of the discussion throughout this gen.

I do get tired of all the hate. It's just so stupid. Why do people get so worked up about the plastic case that plays the games they play?

Probably because brand managers trick people into identifying with products:

I'm not sure if that applies to console gaming. Baby Duck Syndrome has more to do with the operating system and how you use it. A PS3 and an Xbox 360 play mostly the same games and in the same way. It's not like Playstation fans all learned P-Code so they don't want to have to learn X-Code to use a Xbox. I think it's much more like the stupid rivaly between Ford and Chevy. Fans seem to think the product is somehow a part of them and makes them cool.



lol i first put the word in a translator before reading op because i wanted to know about what that word means in german^^

A system's a system, it has little to do with code. Do windows users need to learn basic or batch scripting? no. Yes still it applies to them.

Baby duck syndrome applies just as much to HW as it does to SW: "This syndrome has substantial impact on user interface design. Developers must take into account previous user experiences to make users comfortable if they want these users to move or upgrade to their system."

Lol, shit, i actully completely forgot about them. But yeah sorry three consoles and of course PC, which in some aspects is better than all three consoles combined!

You usually get people who come along to these threads about this time who says:

"PC owns all".
