Nah. The Playstation was my first console, the gameboy color my first handheld and I have love and nostalgia as well as criticism for both of them.

When I was younger I used to be on gamespot forums before I knew about vgc in the late 2000s. The nintnedo fans were still sore in the gc era from the ps2s dominance. When I came here I was in consumer protest of sonys actions. Back then I was a nintnedo sympathizer until I read up on the history of drama between the two companies. You're right though, it's on YouTube and in many other places. It's not as rampant as it used to be because a younger generation is growing up around d it. Millennials and gen xers know about the drama though.

I've owned every Nintendo and Sony consoles since the NES for Nintendo and PS1 for Sony. Although I would say I have more favoritism for Nintendo games and I use their systems more often and have more games for, I enjoy my occasional Playstation game like Uncharted, Horizon, Persona, Grand Turismo, etc.

Who knows where Sony would be today if the collaboration between Nintendo and Sony for a CD-based console (which later ended up becoming modified and created the PS1) never started. I'm glad both exist till this day and have no ill will towards Sony or anyone.

The people I knew didn't care about how well PS1 was doing. They cared that games like FFVII, and Resident Evil, and Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid, etc., that could have been on the N64, weren't.

I myself liked the fact that Nintendo stuck with Cartridges at the time, and I still think it was a neat, nostalgic move. However, I also realize that if N64 had been CD based as it should have been, that generation would have been a whole different ballgame. Nintendo likely would have gotten all those big third party Playstation hits, perhaps exclusively in some cases. And if that had been the case, the Playstation brand might not have even really gotten off the ground. It certainly didn't succeed because of their first party published titles. The Playstation brand, at least in it's first two generations, almost always succeeded based on third party IPs.

Seeing that you've grown to become the exact opposite of that, I would never have thought that. 

Well, as I was safely playing on PC back then I couldn't care less. And I don't care today. I'm not even sure I heard about consoles at that time. Maybe I was aware that in the past were was a Pong-machine. My first time I noticed consoles was, then a friend bought the Dreamcast. And this thing was a blast. I considered to buy one myself, but then Sega stopped producing it. I went console-less until Wii.

Nah not really, maybe in my younger years but I've mostly grown out of that - especially now that it seems both PS and Switch platforms can co-exist (PS as main home console, Switch as console, handheld hybrid). They are still and will probably always be my least favorite of the "big three" by far, I frankly just don't get the appeal of most of their games and always shocked how they continue to push so many consoles with these games, but I don't hate them or anything. To each his own I guess. 

Out of curiosity, don't you think that's the case with any fanbase? There are always those who are embarassingly bad when it comes to the company their favourite company is in direct competition with (couldn't have phrased it worse, but alas).

I would even name users if this was a private conversation. I think it's confirmation bias when you only see it from a certain company.

Sure we Nintendo fans can be salty as most seas but nothing beats Sony fans, they are even more salty then the Black Sea. :)

I am a Nintendo fan, mostly. And I am not THAT fond of Sony, although I did own a PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3. Yet, I'd like them to do a bit worse, or MS and Nintendo step up. Competition is always a good thing.
