Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

This stuff also happened during the Sega Genesis - Snes days. fankids were fighting over their console just go off gamesites and you will be fine :).



 

OP: Why are you being so judgemental? Who cares if people love their consoles. If it brings them happiness then let 'em be. I know I

One reason is cos theres a lot of stupid ass trolls, it causes people to be defensive and over react.




Main reason is the internet, no where to argue back in the day of nes or snes.

But I don't find it odd or weird, I am surprised people find it odd. People are crazy about sport teams and bad mouth other teams all the time, they go ballistic over a touchdown or home run. This is not much different with this console battle, people choose which console they like best and want that console to beat all.

Both can be seen as stupid, in the end of the day, how does my team winning effect me really? How does Nintendo being first in the console wars effect me? Maybe just rub it on my friends faces or the other side fans faces. And for the hate, you know how many people hate the Yankees (or love them)? People will fight and riot for their team, so I don't find it weird that there is so much arguments with the consoles.



Blame Microsoft and their quest for domination. They make everything personal...from operating systems to many different electronic devices. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have the ability to throw money around and smack talk their competition. From their "You should get a 360+Wii instead" to the "Blu-ray is a waste" statements, they've caused nothing but unnecessary tension.



But sport teams are more an patriotic thing aswell. A lot of fans of a team are people who live in the city.



 

IDK, even if we get rid of the passion, having even snide remarks and subtle implications acts as the spark to more passionate and obvious flaming.

And I'm sure you, me, and all of us with our biases don't avoid those. Even the most calm members occasionally stealth fanboy. Acting unbiased, but adding a subtle remark. Expecting people not to bite the bait is just ignorant.
