Forums - Gaming - Hmm.Was there so meny angry fanboys at Ps2-Xbox-CameCube time?

I believe so. I was fine during that period. I only had a PS2 and there wasn't any other options of me playing the Xbox or the Gamecube at the time. I did however borrow the Gamecube and enjoyed it. But the PS2 last gen was my primary console. I was jealous at the fact the Xbox had so many FPS and the sports games always had better graphics than the PS2 counterpart. Other than that I wasn't angry and I wouldn't call myself a fanboy either.

Because I loved all those consoles equal.

Fanboyism started because Nintendo and Microsoft fans were pulverized last gen!







It was pretty bad at the beginning of the generation - say in 2001 and 2002, but then the PS2 just crushed all competition and it wasn't fun to argue anymore.

I was a PC gamer previously, so I wasn't in the warring loop.

When I found out about the Wii I picked up a cube and my group of friends and I had a blast with it. Especially Mario Kart:DD which we played religiously every Sunday for over 1 year. It got so bad we picked up the LAN adapters and did 8-way MKDD in 2 full rooms.

After all my PC and previous console gaming that was far and away the most fun I have had.

Could care less about the wars now, but I do like watching fan boys fume so I guess that makes me a console war profiteer. Just not cash profit. :D



I didn't go to many gaming sites at that time so I don't know.



Why were there so "MENY" spelling errors in your title?



It's because in the last generation, the console with the best graphics was the most popular so nobody could complain that the graphics on their less popular console were better.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

The PS2 had the worst graphics, but it was on a linear scale of difference compared to it's competitors.  This generation, the Wii is on an exponential scale of difference making the decision not so black and white for third parties.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
