The Console War is Over!

GamesRadar hates war. All this bickering about exclusives and online support and which console has a more phallic controller, well, it makes them sick. There's already more than enough war in the world, and definitely not enough love, sweet love.

In the spirit of peacemaking, they've envisioned a game industry filled with love, and they're sharing it with you in the only they know how - with tasteless illustrations by resident art geek Tyler Wilde.

Interesting article, but the 'console war' is good the for the industry. It drives cheaper prices, new games, new technology.

fenderputty6606d ago

might be good in that it spurs competition but, the fanboyism that goes on is just ridiculous. It doesn't matter if it's an xbox fanboy blasting the PS3 for it's recent Konami gamertags or, if it's a PS3 fanboy blasting the xbox for it's loud fan. Some of the bickering is just out of control.

This site seems to be a magnet for fanboys too. Which sucks because, it's the most comprehensive news site for gaming that I know of.

kewlkat0076606d ago (Edited 6606d ago )

if you ask most fanboys they would rather have the opposite...
One console without competition.

-Where the manufacture dictate price-drops as opposed to the competition/market.

-The unwillingness to improve with leaps and bounds over past gens.

-You would see less talented developers because of the outrages prices for SDKs.

-Many EA type corps would be running amuck because they have the cashflow. Probably see 1-2 big franchises for each genre. Since fanboys play like 1 game from each genre because everything else is rubbish or can't compare,.

Like I said, I've been part of the SEGA vs Nintendo days and we have never had 3 major consoles carve out niches/market-share for themselves for a while. The thing is all 3 present something, somewhat different. All three have money to burn...so this war is not going anywhere.

I agree competition is good and that one reason I think its great to see the ps3 doin so poorly(compared to the ps1 & 2). Not only giving the 360 room to grow and improve but its really going to knock sony off that high horse they were on. Leading into this gen. There are a lot of things I think sony did wrong leading into this gen and with the ps3. Hopefully cause of competition they will fix them and make a even better product (ps4) next gen. MS and the 360 did about everything right this gen other then testing the 360 but again I think their competition with sony will make them improve their system even more next gen. This is all great for true gamers that enjoy playing great games no matter what system they are on.

CrazzyMan6606d ago

wars for 1st and 2nd place will be here atleast for next 2-3 years. =)

Atleast for PS3, which Big hitters like MGS4, KZ2, FFXIII, GT5 are only to come during 1 year time. =)
It will be really interesting to see how things will go on. =)

p.s. blin, i just`ve noticed, that articles about MGS4 coming to x360 has stopped coming, lol. =))

Panthers6606d ago

If you avoid sites like this (or at least the comment section) completely, you will find that the fanboyism will completely go away.

Let them continue bickering on a few obscure websites and just live life. You will completely forget about them eventually.

Snoozer2826605d ago

Yea, fanboyism is a problem, but only if you read website comments or forums. For the average gamer who the 'war' effects they get the result of it; more games, more franchises, more choice and more fun.

dantesparda6606d ago

After hearing what youse had to say. What i think its saying, is that liking any system that much is gay. (Either that are that loving your Xbox that much is gay, lol, and it looks like the Xbox is in charge and you're just its little b!tch, lol) :p

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg24d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree24d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai24d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy25d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12525d ago (Edited 25d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
