I'm glad some people aren't taking too much offense.

@Legend11, I do agree that Xbox 360 has the best game line-up as of now. But they did have a good head start, that unfortunately ended up costing them tons of money in not testing their hardware well enough before releasing. My 360 has the new heatsink, so should be fine. I've had not a single hitch in the last month I owned it.

@Warlord_, I guess we have to let the Nintendo boys lavish in their victory. They had their last two consoles labeled as "kiddy." Some of them probably got pissed at me when I didn't think the Wii was God's gift to console gaming. Half way through this generation, it could either be accelerated as the market leader or it could end up being a fad like some have said. Hard to tell at this point


Maybe this generation will be a bit more competitive than the last couple of generations. I wouldn't mind a good fight.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you said.  There is no side that's innocent.  There are people who post 1000 topics a day about how Nintendo is winning or how Sony is going to win when XXXX is released.  There are people who constantly troll forums of systems they don't own or are not at all interested in.  There are people who will argue with half the members of the forum for 3 days just to discredit another system (regardless of any evidence against their case).

Flame wars are started everywhere, and most of us are at least guilty of feeding the flames at one point or another, even if we don't start the threads or the arguments.  No one is innocent of this entirely (certainly not me), and all we can do is be as civil and respectful towards each other as possible.  That does NOT mean you shouldn't be able to express your opinion, but there is no reason to be insulting about it or blatantly inflamatory.  Also, it helps to keep an open mind, and be willing to admit when you made a mistake or are wrong.  It's amazing how many arguments go on forever simply because people are stuck in a mindset they refuse to change. Often people aren't debating to gain any new information or to prove a point, but rather to show their own support or disdain, regardless of any evidence to the contrary. 

Actually, I call Sony the devil (ok, maybe never actually called them the devil, but definitely evil). Of course this has nothing to do with Nintendo or Microsof and everything to do with their practises regarding DRM, Rootkits, Lik-Sang, etc. Which I won't go into right now. Suffice to say that Sony definitely is not trustworthy.

As for the rest, I agree completely. It seems all I hear from PS3 fans is bitching about Wii fans being mental while us Wii fans all know that the PS3 fans are the truly crazy ones ;)

"Wii60? PlayStation Army? I hate fanboyism"

Me I love it, I think its great.

 1. I agree the Wii started the wars, its caused a disturbance in the industry (or the force, your pick) which will always open up flame wars, PS2 continued on PS1 dominance so it didnt really cause that much disturbance.

2. Urgh. totally disagree that Ninty fans are worst. Personally I think Sony fanboys are the worst flamers but that all fanboys are horrible little creatures that should be burnt.
My definition of a fanboy is somebody that instead of just supporting a console goes out of their way to flame another console without decent reasoning. I just dont think its neccesary from anyone.

Fan =/= Fanboy 

3. Tell me that the Wii isnt the second coming of christ  and Ill be most happy, im not a christian and it would deeply upset me to not believe in a console. In all seriousness though I think your once again mistaking fans for fanboys, most Wii fans KNOW that the wii is inferior as far as brute force hardware goes, most of us Wii fans will disagree when you say that it will be outsold - we certainly wont make ten threads about Sony being the devil (Afterall, we all know MS is the devil with their damned unreliable and insecure Windows).

No, no I don't think it's hard to tell at this point at all. Gaming consoles are not fads. This is a ridiculous and moronic statement created by the same likes of rabid fanboys that created the "kiddy" bullshit with the N64. Not surprisingly, that came from the Sony camp.

I find it hard to believe that anyone could convince themselves of the "fad" status. If Wii is selling like hotcakes now in its first year with slim pickings, what's going to happen when the major releases start? With the first of the "Holy Trinity" right around the corner, what logic dictates that the Wii would start losing steam when its high profile games roll around when it couldn't stay on shelves BEFORE any of the games were released? It just doesn't make any sense.

I had Nintendo systems growing up (nes, gameboy, snes), but I still liked Sega. My friend had Genesis and I played it all the time.

I just don't get console fanboys. You miss out on a lot of good games just because you don't like another companies name or there image, that's just frakkin' retarded. Just because you don't have the time or money to buy multiple systems doesn't mean you should bash all the others.




I am a proud owner of the Wii60, and want to add the PS3 to that, as soon as the price falls in between $300-400. Would that be PSWii60 or WiiPS360?

Soriku said: Actually, I hadn't become a Nintendo fanboy since 5 months ago...KH3 Wii rumors...yes KH changed my life . I'm a KH fanboy TO DEATH

Get a PS3 then :P J/ks  Oh so you played it on the ps2... You traito... You prolly can;t afford a ps3 so you put it down as you have now heard a rumour (which prolly won't be true) and go for the cheaper console for KH. I figured you'd be a Nintendo fan from way back. Should of known only newbie fans yell the loudest to be heard. :P

 I'll always support Sony :D but if FF went to another console I'd buy it only for that console and that would be it's soul purpose, other than that I'd only want a PS.

Everyone should realize how the mind of a fanboy works by now and just ignore them. It goes like this:

Exited, optimistic comment. Sly jab at opposing console makers.
Angry response, calls out fanboy.
Fanboys calls out the other, angry, fanboy.
Others join in and show they are ignorant of facts, be it intentional or otherwise.
Finally, someones parents/ethnicity/sexual preference is called into question.
Comments devolve into console war bickering.
Day passes.
No one remembers what was said.
